    So just saw this posted at the top of G-Trax's website, which looks like an Santa Fe ALCO PA...

    Not sure if this will be a route or locomotive, as well if it will be released on Steam or only on Railworks America, but it would be interesting to watch to see where this goes......

    It says Santa Fe. It will NOT be on Steam. Unless an unbranded version arrives separately. They would be wiser to keep it on RWA for that reason.

    Heck, any BNSF or Santa Fe skins are better as freeware to put on top of something that can be legally sold. That way, everyone can use it. Just my opinion...

    Of course, my comments assume this is a route. If just a loco, my opinion stands. Otherwise people may reskin this and that's more split between international and US.

    It'd be really awesome if it was a freeware locomotive, but that's a stretch I think...

    But one thing they must include is the ability to customize railroad-specific features, so those who want to can create any scheme they want.

    I was thinking that- a strong contender for the Thomas Midgely Environmental award.

    Those smoke plumes are appalling, you'd think it was coal fired unless you were told it's a diesel.

    looks like it is possibly for train simulator, but I would have to say we will have to find out what it is for.

    I'd suggest it's for a train track. I can't see it working on the water.

    They didn't call them honorary steam locomotives for nothing!

    I think if AP did enhancement packs for them they'd have to change the clag factor from 10 to 100...!!!:D:cool:
