    I think the class ac-12 or any of the cab forward ac class's would be a cool and interesting add-on /addition to tsw5 starting to show of some of the Southern Pacific steam locomotives [​IMG]

    Heck yeah! SP Cab Forwards are one of my favorite steam locos, and I want these unique locos in game. The SP rostered a large number of Cab Forwards in multiple classes and several wheel arrangements.

    We'd need one of three routes for them: SP Donner Pass: Roseville-Reno, SP Tehachapi Pass: Mojave-Bakersfield, CA, or SP Mount Shasta Line: Dunsmuir, CA-Klamath Falls, OR (all from TS Classic). Tehachapi Pass would probably be the most likely SP route, since it is only 68 miles long. Donner Pass is more than 140 miles long, and the Mount Shasta Line is 108 miles long.

    One of SP's big AC-12 Cab Forwards, #4294, is on display in Sacramento, CA at the California State RR Museum. #4294 was the last Cab Forward built for the SP.

    That could only happen if Dovetail decides to revive Steam Loco's for Train Sim World.

    I was thinking that would be part of the add-on like the peak forest railway kind of thing and it could be like where they used to run and for what they were used for and create a add-on around the ac 12 locomotive or other ac cab forward locomotives from Southern Pacific
