I'm really looking forward to the Mountain.

Glad to hear they're still alive and kicking over there. I'll be curious to see how the Sierra #3 update goes. Not thrilled about having to repurchase product again unless they can show the value in it for me. However, that IC Mountain and Mikado are going to be awfully hard to turn away from.

The 2600 Mountain was a lot more used than the Mikado 1500 by Illinois Central. It will be a great addition to the TSC steam collection.
By the other side the IL-2 is going to Steam (I wonder if it will still be sold in MR.
And because of the picture in the article, I even though the Prarielands route would be3 sold in Steam, but no.

Has anyone bought the 2-10-0 and what do you think of it?

[AmericanSteam]

I have one I purchased from Machine Rail a while ago. I like it. Runs well, looks good.

Pullman Passenger and Baggage car

lookin' really good

[cnwfan]

Those heavyweights do look good. Hopefully they keep developing the line to include Pullman sleepers.

[buzz456]

I'm just really excited to see these period.

[RAILSOHIO]

I also like that Machine Rail updates its products. I purchased many of their releases.

[AmericanSteam]

They will most likely be in ICRR livery. I do hope that others will add additional road names.

[PullmanCar]

Those heavyweights do look good. Hopefully they keep developing the line to include Pullman sleepers.

I sincerely hope we will see some proper Pullmans. Heavyweight passenger trains are not complete without them.

The heavyweight coaches in my opinion will have to be IC, as they lack pronounced belt-rails and drip-rails that most heavyweights feature (ACF, Pullman, Bethlehem). IC had them smoothed, as did many other railroads when they modernised their heavyweights and removed the rivets. (Southern Railway post-WWII was great at this).

I for one have no clue what you are talking about. Some pictures perhaps?
