Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone. I've tried train simming in the past and didn't really stick with it, leaning more towards flight sim. But, I'm a lifelong lover of the the railroad and find that I keep coming back to TS. I would dearly love to find Illinois Central/ICG content for TS 2015, as my grandfather was a 50 year employee of IC, retiring as a section foreman. He was retired by the time I was born, but I've still always been fascinated by the railroad and the IC most of all.
Other than the IC, I also would like to find NY Central, Penn Central and Conrail related downloads. Those railroads ran through my community, crossing north-south over the IC line which ran east-west. The north-south line is long gone and the rails were pulled up a few years back. The former IC line is now run by the Indiana Railroad.
So, that was my long winded way of saying hello. I look forward to interacting with you all here.
Ken
Hello!

Thanks guys!
Buzz, I found the IC stuff in the file library, but TS freezes up and crashes if I install them. Probably just a mistake I'm making. I haven't learned the ins and outs of TS yet.

Here's a "what if" Illinois Central didn't sell out to CN.
I live next to the mainline at Olympia Feilds, Il.

Very nice! Sure wish the IC was still around.
Looks like I live about 200 miles or so straight south of you.

There is still a "Death Star" running around up here. See it real regularly in Spaulding where the old EJ&E crosses the old Milwaukee now CN and CP.

Partial success with the IC repaints! I got the SD40-2 repaints and the SD70 repaints both installed and working well. Never have figured out the problem with getting the caboose repaints to work. I'll keep messing with it.
