RSC Coaster Equipment "Coming Soon"

[1225fan5358]

I'm pretty sure RSC is done with California for now. I was actually surprised they did the Surfliner

I think they're starting to lean to the east after this. Or maybe a cajon pass redo

[artimrj]

Where did you get that thought from?

How could you go west from LA or San Diego?

Welllllllllllllll, we COULD use the UP and the Palmdale cutoff. Or Cajon pass from Fullerton! ;)

Seems as though you haven't seen the clues on their Facebook page.

How could you go west from LA or San Diego?

Easy - via Fullerton.

[hertsbob]

You're heading east from there, surely?

What are these Facebook clues of which you speak?

California, the Golden State, has everything you need and is still considered a fairyland come true by many people the world over.

Railroading wise, it has the complete palette on offer:
Lush rainforests, scorching deserts, majestic mountains, remote valleys, vast ocean beaches, sprawling metropolii,
heavy freight forwarding, commuter service, long distance passenger service, museum lines, dense industrial area switching,

A company like RSC can create and sell at least half a dozen well chosen asset packs with a California theme.

Cajon Pass rebooted, Tehachapi/Mojave/Palmdale, Feather River Canyon, The Inland Empire, quite a few museum lines, Santa Fe's 3757, preserved SP steam, Pacific Electric, TrainMasters in commuter service, and probably some more I cannot think of right now.

Your keyword was "LA or San Diego".

West from San Diego would be compass north to LA and compass west from Fullerton, and west from LA would be over the old SP Sunset and Saugus lines. A stretch, but I hadn't had my coffee when making my first reply (that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it).

I'll let you off, but you had me thinking I'd built the route upside down for a bit.

[BNSFdude]

Perhaps if you were an Aussie, you would have!

If it was done as well as Marias Pass I'd actually think about buying a redone Cajon Pass. But they'd have to update the assets and really pay attention to what the west side of summit actually looks like. The creeks, greenery, bridges and culverts. They'd need to include A and B yard at least, maybe add Colton etc. Heck expand it all the way to the docks in L.A.

Last but not least, I wouldn't want two Cajons. I would want it setup so if a person bought it, it would overwrite the original folder. (Even though that would mean all new scenarios for it)

[Ericmopar]

Didn't RSC do a poll somewhere, asking if anyone would like a colton add on pack for Cajon Pass? It seems to me that Marias won the vote, but Colton was second...

I'm going to take a guess that the coaster is not going to be released today, hopefully next thursday it will be released.

How about 7 more Thursdays at least. We haven't even seen any pictures of the locos yet!! Slow down!
