A friend sent me this shot of a Soo Line SD60 in San Bernadino. Right away I decided to make a duplicate in MSTS. Here's the result. It's not perfect but its close. I don't have a SD60 so I used a GP38-2 instead. Enjoy!

That shot is very, IMPRESSIVE! [tup][tup][tup][tup][tup]

I've never tried MSTS. This may sound silly, but I spend so much time on the computer already that I think if I do get the game that I'll wind up spending more time on it rather than working on my fleet and future layout! But from what I've seen and heard, the game is absolutely cool!

I jokingly told a freind though that if a Santa Fe Warbonnet FP45 could be created on MSTS, I'll probably be "hooked" and get the game anyway!

I have MSTS but just can't seem to get it figured out. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Great picture.[bow]
