New route in November - Donner Pass!

Ok, slightly off topic but not too far..... yes SP was the first to use the "ears" on the locos, but look at this kick-ass SD40-2!

I think it's not severe, but if RSC decides to include the AC4400CW anyhow:

There isn't much difference between the two (according to wikipedia).

Looks-wise they're pretty much identical. physics-wise there'd be quite a difference tho.

Elephant ears have to be the in the top 10 of unique things fitted to diesels. The Chessie System also tried ears on SD50 #8570 (Had C&O reporting marks). Don't think any photos are out there, if they are they are hard to come by. But model photos abound: http://www.trainweb.org/chessie/8570b.JPG

Just because All Hallows' Eve is almost upon us, am I the only forum member who detects a mysterious connection between the Donner Pass route and the just-released "Zombies and Trains" DLC?

Just noticed there are 20 new screenies over in the Railsim sidebar section. Looking good!

Hope that works as a shortcut to the Donner Screens.

Nope, I see that it didn't. Anyway, the screens are at the bottom right side of their site under the facebook links.

Yeah, its just an SD40T-2, but its still pretty awesome they're adding a lot of value to the route. It would be nice if they'd add the C-50- bay cabooses.

Wish they'd add more detail, needs the jersey barrier in the center, the highway signs, no telephone poles, the bridge supports are the wrong color and the bridge's design is wrong in several spots... I'll be buying it, just if I was on the RW team I'd pay more attention to detail and model closely to the prototype, rather than skimp on detail so the deadline is perfectly met. I think the deadline should be extended a long way, they set too tight of a deadline to be able to add a lot of good and proper detail in my opinion.
