The cajun pass is used as a model for operation as a software for the Microsoft Train Stimulator. I believe that this is availible as a add-on and uses a Big Boy to get the trains up and over cajun. This may provide you with a visual experience on a recreated cajun pass and help inspire you in modeling it. <br /> <br />I have pulled many loads over cajun and techaphi. Those are 2 of the top 10 mountains, several others would be Sand Patch in the east, and Donner near Reno NV as well as Raton Pass in NM. Not to mention Horseshoe at Alltona PA and possibly Wascash (Spelling?) in Wyoming. <br /> <br />Mountain railroading has special appeal and dangers. I believe that cab forwards were used because the Sierra tunnels were so long it soffacated the crews of normal forward engines. If you allowed your train to run from you, yer finished. <br /> <br />I believe that plan incorperated several desireable features and may take a bit of room. Ill have to dive back into my magazine pile and dig it out. <br /> <br />Good Luck and let us know how you do. <br /> <br />Lee
