VRC you all are doing such a great job standing out with the payware i would be willing to pay for these roads and i bet some of the other people would to. Just a suggestion if you can do any of these.

Its all about the licensing.
We have not spoken to KCS yet, so that could very well be a possibility if the terms are good. We have already spoken about licensing with UP, the the short of it is that we will approach them.

We've been pretty open about obtaining the licenses. Lets just say that NS was the one that took us by surprise. The person in charge was a rail fan himself and wanted to make sure we knew about the unique differences between each model. It was refreshing to say the least.

I see you all being the Jointedrail of Railworks though.

I said this in another thread before, but can we also get a Full Union Pacific Repaint (ex.SP) and a Full paint of SP one? I can provide the pictures again.

Could RF&P be an option? You already got the CSX license right? and heres just some info if you can do a RF&P gp40-2 they ran with dual controls, had cabsignals and number 145 had a broken horn.

We did ask CSX about it, and they would not include it, nor did they include the old Blue B&O and C&O, or the red and white WM.

is there still a possibility or does that mean no.

That is a good question. They never gave a clear answer, so perhaps we can revisit this after a while. I suspect it would mean an additional license, so the terms would need to be reasonable for us to take it on.

Does your comment about not allowing the red / white W&M mean that a black / gold W&M is coming?

Sorry, no. What we have now is all we were able to get a license for.
