I love running different engines in different parts of the world. Just wondering how fast anyone has gotten a steam engine to go on the flats like the NE corridor. I've gotten the Scotsman up to 143.

I got the Scotsman up to 140, then I crashed it, and it did a barrel-roll and landed in a river! Good thing no one can be hurt on simulators!

I love the smell of ALCo smoke in the Morning. "Long live the 251!!!" I miss the GBW and my favorite uncle is Uncle Pete. Uncle Pete eats Space Noodles for breakfast.

Make sure that the derailment feature is turned off. Then take one or two gp38 units with no cars and run them down Marias pass in notch eight. I reached speeds up to 256 MHP.
