One of those youtube videos shows some excellent I1's and M1's on the curve during the last days of steam. Let us hope that some day soon we will be able to run these beasties along with the k4s.

I think it would make good sense - RSC would have a guaranteed income stream. Everybody that uses this line is going to want more than just the K4's, so a new loco every 2-3 months means more $$ in the bank and continues to breathe just a bit more life into the route. (Just hope so anyway :D )

I see the release date has been announced as Jan 26th. Should be good.

One thing I would like to see, is an official route mod to HSC to place water facilities Westbound at Cresson. I can not believe there is no watering at the top of the westbound grade. There appears to be plenty of water available Eastbound. These K4's are not the biggest and it is going to be embarrassing having the fuse-able plugs dropping because you cant get a top off. I believe it can be done on a scenerio by scenerio basis, but makes it difficult to share scenerios if having to mod the route

Hi Guys,

Glad you're all enjoying the progress we've made with the PRR K4 Locomotive. It has been an exciting project to work on, and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Philadelphia and the Museum in Strasburg, who were thoroughly enthusiastic and accommodating.

Regarding authentic sounds, you will be pleased to know we are using a US contact to aid us on this aspect. As many may know, while I was able to survey 3750 in detail, she wasn't in Steam and so no sound recording took place during my trip.

I would like to dispel belief however, that the proliferation of YouTube videos on a given subject does not equate to high availability of locomotive audio, especially for rolling stock that is no longer running or in existence. While these references are great for a general experience, RSC always uses appropriate sources for actual in-game data such as sounds.

Anyway, back to the footplate for some more triple heading over Horseshoe! !*hp*!

Can we see a picture of what the cab looks like.

P.S, going to put money in account today just so when it comes out I can buy it.

About a month in, I'm still pumped for release. I don't think I've been this hyped for a DLC release since the Challenger back in '09. *!!wink!!*

Hi Adam,

Good to see you posting here. Have been to the States a few times and you would be hard pressed not to have a good time. Nothing seems too much trouble :D Thanks for the heads up on the sounds too, its good to get in early *!lol!* Given that you had great access at Strasburg etc, does that mean we might see some additional official Pennsy steam in the not too distant future? The museum there has a great collection and it would be a shame to have wasted the opportunity on just the K4.

Looking forward to the release; still feel we need some more westbound water.

**!!bow!!**

!*cheers*!

They look fantastic - a super job.

Looking forward to hearing there work the upgrade to Cresson with genuine sound. :D Now all we need (IMO) is an M1 (which was originally designed and built at Juniata Works in Altoona (of which coincidentally there is a preserved unit at the PRR museum at Strasburg, where Adam spent a fair amount of research time) and an H1 or I1 for the heavy freights

Roll on next week...

Nice shots ! :D

I hope too, there will be PRR steam freight locomotives. And it would be nice to have a b60 baggage car. *!!wink!!*
