Question is.can they be installed separately on the same drive and are they different/interesting enough to be worth the effort and cost or are these just updated versions stemming from their first release?Ħ. Update, Six Chinese DF7C diesels by Ocemy Yang Liew. There seems to be a whole list of TRANZ programs available at their store. Four Russian locomotives included with Trainz 2012: an M62, a CHS4, a CHS8, and a VL60K. Well, just how easy is it to do? MSTS in rather complicated in that department.ĥ.


I see where they say you can easily create your own routes in TRS19. Is there freeware available and will they easily install and run in TRANZ, or are you limited to buying what is sold at their store in the way of add-on locos, cars, scenery and the like? I notice that the add-ons aren't cheap, either!Ĥ. Is it a download deal like Flight Sim FSX on STEAM or do you buy a set of disks? Coming from England that could be problematic!ģ. Since their North American selections are somewhat limited, do you think it work the cost?Ģ. Looks like a British product but has some nice North American rolling stock and steam engines. I'm curious to know if TRAINZ is interesting or unique enough to look into.ġ. Been using MSTS for many years now and am very familiar with the way it works, querks and all, but TRAINZ seems to me to be entirely different. Happened to see some very nicely detailed locos and rolling stock advertised for TRAINZ19 and am intrigued. The designers included every improvement and feature known to the steam locomotive builder's craft.If anybody has tried out the TRAINZ sim program and can explain how TRAINZ is differs from our querky ol' MSTS and how it works, I would be grateful. L&N's Class M-1 locomotives had the distinction of being the most expensive "Berkshire" type locomotives made. The last order would come from the NYC&StL. This order was the next to last order Lima would receive for steam locomotives. These locomotives had 69" diameter drivers, 25" x 32" cylinders, a 265 psi boiler pressure, they exerted 65,290 pounds of tractive effort and each weighed 448,100 pounds. Third order went to the Lima Locomotive Works for twenty-two locomotives which were delivered in 1949 and assigned road numbers 1970 through 1991. All twenty of these Baldwin built 2-8-4 had 69" diameter drivers, 25" x 32" cylinders, a 265 psi boiler pressure, they exerted 65,290 pounds of tractive effort and each weighed 447,200 pounds. This group was assigned road numbers 1964 through 1969. Second order was given to Baldwin, which delivered six more Class M-1 "Berkshires" in 1944.

The other four, with road numbers 1960 through 1963, pulled passenger trains between Cincinnati, Ohio and Corbin, Kentucky during the World War II years. The first ten of these locomotives, with road numbers 1950 through 1959, were assigned to freight service. The first order went to the Baldwin Locomotive Works for fourteen locomotives, which were delivered in 1942 and designated as Class M-1. The Louisville & Nashville Railroad bought a total of forty-two "Berkshire" type locomotives in three orders.
