I was ( still am ) hoping this package is going to include a couple of different passenger cars. In the meantime I'll finish off repainting Michaels baggage car.

Just LOVE that 1st and 2nd shot - I think RSC are on a winner here. Now we just need some bigger power for bigger tonnage

Looking forward to seeing all the pics and reading the reviews next week. Unfortunately, these are being released on the 26th, which is a holiday here and I have a few days off, so not able to see or buy until the 30th. Just hoping they dont sell out before I get back :D

!*cheers*!

Same as I, I want to buy it, but I'd rather see the cab first.

This is looking absolutely beautiful!

We do need more US steam, for sure!

In this case, there will be absolutely no excuse for not having authentic sounds!

... yes, this baby needs the correct sounds. WOW. I cannot wait to run it! !*YAAA*!

Yes, it's looking very nice. I still would like to see what the cab controls look like. The one cab shot was a shot through the cab at the fireman, I think. No view of the controls or dials. Just curious. I really like the Big Boy and Challenger, but would like to have a bit more illumination in this new one than exists in those. Can't really run them from the cab. Hoping this one is more accessible in that way.

As well, would like to see what the cab front windows look like from in cab, basically if it's possible to see out the front windows at the front and have some view of where you're going.

Five Days left. Can't wait to be able to get it.

Anyone know how much it might cost, in US currency?

I'm gonna guess around 20 bucks.

It'll be probably just a single loco and a few scenarios, right?
Then it should be priced like the other single loco packs, say USD 20/Euro 14 which I find still a bit too much.

The ICE1 is a complete train, carriages and all, so it would cost more.

Hopefully the K4 is worth its money and will be the shape of things to come regarding RSC's US steam loco ambitions.
The HSC is a good route and needs quality assets, more PRR steam, passenger and freight cars.
M class 4-8-2, I class 2-10-0 and the mighty J class 2-10-4 is what this route needs!

Actually, I hope it doesn't come with any train cars, those would probably make it more expensive. If that is the case it should just come with just a locomotive and tender and leave the price much lower.

They'll probably just toss in the same passenger cars that came with the Horseshoe Curve.
