 |
|
| I MIGHT be buying this, I don't quite know yet. I didn't really see any pictures of the interior views, in what cars are there interior passenger views and are there any shots of them? I don't really want to get the pack if there's no passenger view. |

Kazareh,
I don't have access to MSTS right now, but the set does have passenger views at minimum for coaches, diners and observation cars.

Hi
A quick glance at files...
1945 set:
Diner and Observation
1949 set:
Coach and Diner
1955 set:
Parlor - There are two virtual views so perhaps another car as well.
These cars all have virtual views so they could all have interior views.

| Right. Well, do they look like the other ones(Like the Heritage Amtrak pack's interior), or do they have their own unique flavor in looks? |

Kazareh,
Up until the most recent pack (Monon2), I did little with interiors, as I did not have the skill in TSM until recently.
The older the set, the less variation. NYC, GN, PRR all share the same interiors.
There are exceptions. Gaetan, created a specific interior for the GN "Ranch Cars" in the Empire Builder sets (GN1, GN3, GN4). He also modified the coach interiors for C&O to add the mid-car partitions. The prototype cars went to Amtrak and are found in our Amtrak sets as well.
I started making my own interiors for specific cars as far back as the Amtrak NE set (parlor car, obs), and GN set 4 (obs "Appekunny Mountain").
For the Monon2 set, ALL interiors were built using actual floor plans. I reused components from Gaetan's other sets, so there is still a 'familiar' look.
I am now working on the Reading Crusader, it will have a custom interior as well. I will also be creating specific interiors for sleepers and for new heavyweights as we produce them.
This also means that sets will be slower in coming. Monon 2 took me almost 6 months.

| Alright, was just wondering. I'll probably get it when I have the spare cash. And I don't have the set, but I saw the screenshots, and you did a good job on the KCS Southern Belle interior, and I absolutely love the SP Daylight, it's one of my favorite purchases from you all. I'll be gettin the PRR Pack when ever I have the spare cash. |

Well, I guess that makes sense. The KCS and SP sets aren't mine, they are only Gaetan's.
You like the Master's work!
