Here is a new video from Niles to the Dresser Bridge. These are the type of cars and Engine that runs on the real route. I put the real numbers on them. Unfortunately no one that I know of has the Southern Pacific S2 reskin painted in the tiger stripes like the real one is. But at least I have the numbers correct.

Sorry about the floating people in my latest video. This train program sometimes crashes to the desktop. And when it does it does strange thing to the route I am working on. This time it deleted some of the roads I already put in and raised the people I put near the Niles boarding platform. I will fix it just wanted everyone to know what happened.

That's not an S2.

Yup. I think it's an SW1200, but I could be wrong.

I called it an S2 because a friend of mine that used to work at the Railway called it that. He used to run that engine. I looked it up and it is a NW 2. Go to there site to see it for yourself if you would like.

And S2 is an ALCO the NW is an EMD. You cannot mistake them. I cannot speak about your friend, but perhaps you misunderstood him.

I know all about the Niles Canyon and its railroads. I live 5 miles from it.

That would be a hard sell. People would only buy it for its Pokemon effect.

Most likely thanks. From what they look like using the RSC Southern Pacific 1500 would be a closer match for the 1423. What do you think about that PapaXpress.

1423 is a NW2 and I believe Mr. Cowen might have one but not sure.

There is someone affiliated with the 9010 crew that is making the K-M Hydraulic for I think Trainz. Maybe we could k̶i̶d̶n̶a̶p̶ convince him to come to this side as well?

Thanks everyone I checked to see if I have that one and I do. I don't know how to do reskins but I do have that engine.

Here are some screen shots from my route with three engines that run on the real route with there correct numbers. One screen shot is from a SP 1500 that does not run on the route but with the correct Southern Pacific number on it.
