    Here's a new 1940's-1950's classic for the Northeast Corridor yet to be created for TSW 5. The route is over 135 miles. It would be set in the 1940's-1950's. The PRR rolling stock would include GG1's, E44's, VO-1000's, H12-44's, Alco RS3's, GP9's, RS11's, P5's, P5A's, and MP54 EMU's with the same freight and passenger equipment like TSC has. This route would be awesome with the massive GG1's and E44's among others.

    I think that would be too many locos for one route at DTGs current general prices. What price would you see that route as being?

    Ignore them, they have a bad habit of doing these weird long Christmas list like lists of suggestions for US content.

    I think that a classic NEC route should be set in the 1940s-50s and include a PRR GG1 and E44, along with a PRR diesel switcher (a Baldwin VO-1000, FM H-12-44, or Alco RS-3, maybe; an EMD GP9 or Alco RS11 could be included, too). DLCs: P5/P5A Electric, MP54 EMU

    The main issue would be access to majority of these locos. Some are in preservation in a museum or some don't exist anymore. Even the tsc versions might not be good enough
