I'm no developer (though I want to be), so I don't know what kind of effort/skill it takes to build some of the rolling stock, but I'm surprised no one has ever attempted at making Viewliners for RW. I always thought how awesome it would be to run Silver Service on the NEC, or even through some fictional routes, etc. It's not a request by any means, but do any of you know of a Viewliner model OR someone who would be willing to give it a shot?

!DUH! OK. No one has done that yet. Lotsa Amtrak out there but not that one. I'm a guy from flyover country and we don't have any of them out here I don't think.
!*salute*!

Most of these don't venture past the Mississippi that I know of. It would be nice to have these though.

It's seen very often on the NEC, as the Silver Star, Silver Meteor, Lake Shore Limited, and I think one or two more. It'd be great for NEC scenarios, as well as possible use on fictional routes like NEPA and others.

The picture posted above is not from the game, it is the real thing.
It's becoming more and more difficult to see the difference.
