This I like. A three quarter view always produces a pleasing image and the lighting was kind enough to show plenty of detail. Excellent! I have to confess, although it is the only game I have, that I run a train sim on my computer - TRAINZ. Should you ever consider it, I must tell you that it needs top specs to run smoothly.

Very nice to see, although, I wasn't aware that Gold Coast had an E-9, or anything CB&Q for that matter. I work on the Zephyr Project at the Portola California Railroad museum on several other California Zephyr pieces, and my girlfriends grandfather ran that very locomotive in your picture, I'm sure, since he was a CB&Q engineer. Up at Portola, we have Western Pacific #805-A which is the last remaining WP engine from the California Zephyr. I sure wish we could get a hold of these old pieces in Miami and run them all one last time on the CZ. Tom
