    We need the New Jersey arrows3 since we already have the route for it. We also need the Aem 7 from Amtrak which we also have the route for that as well. Simple copy and paste.

    How is it a copy and paste? These would be entirely new locos. Also there are no more Amtrak AEM-7s left so it would be impossible to get references or recordings. Caltrain might have the tester leftover from testing their electrification but their licensing has been suspended so unlikely they're wiling to let DTG come back to record and take pictures. Also, I don't think the AEM-7s fit the timeline in which the routes are based or the timetable year. I would love to see AEM-7s, but I have no idea where DTG would get their hands one one, and a new backdated historic route and timetable would have to be built for it. As for the Arrows, hopefully we get them if we get a new NJT route. Don't they only run the two stop Princeton Dinky though?

    For the arrow tree just stand in the southern section of Northeast Corridor Trenton to Boston the 58 miles of it instead of the much larger 227 MI where you would get the American version of the class 700 and 387 the M8

    well the scenery on the routes have barely changed since they were running except for maybe the WTC but then again the Aem-7 and hhp-8 were still running when they were built but as far as the material for those locomotives Im sure its still out there
