Guys, I already have a PRR freight set started (waiting for PRR Eastern Region to be released) and a Norfolk Southern Business Car set w/F9.
What should I do next?
Let me know.
THANKS!!
Rick

I vote for the C&O/B&O/WM/Chessie set. I am a major CSX fan and for the railroads that merged into CSX in 1986.

I have also voted for the C&O/B&O/WM/Chessie set. 
My next preferences after that would be a Southern and a MoPac set.

just posting here what i said at Elvas Tower:
so that possible Maine Central set we discussed awhile back is no longer planned?  You could cover over half Maine Centrals locomotive types with existing models including F3As, F3Bs, E7As, S1s/S3s, RS-2s, RS-3s, and I don't know if you (Mr. Belanger) have made any, but MEC's two RS-11s... It's just an idea, but I'd love to see good quality Maine Central represented in MSTS... it seems to be one important Fallen Flag to slip through the cracks of repainters...

just one little thing I'd like to add to this, I'd rather see a MEC set than a Conrail set, as afore mentioned in the poll... and that's sayin' something

Maine Central is on a 'long term' list, as there is currently no route for it. As soon as a route is available, I would be more than happy to hop on that bandwagon!!

well, Rick, hopefully by this summer I'll be starting on a small Maine Central route... But thanks for that information. When I get started on the route, I'll let you guys know.

It was a tough choise between Seaboard and Southern Railway. But I chose The Family lines one. But I would like to see both of them (Especially any Passenger Trains including SCL Passenger equipment).

Maybe start with a Seaboard Silver Meteor set. There is a Seaboard Florida route, and plenty of data available.

hmm. i've been thinking. what about a LS&I set? We could use some updated models from what originally came with MLT's route... I see where alot of people are coming from, there are a lot of eastern roads already represented... we need some mid-western and western, and even southern railroads.... FEC would be nice to see also. just an idea

Excellent. After the Seaboard Silver Meteor set, then a Champion set. The East Coast Champion ran on the FEC south of Jacksonville. But there is no FEC route to run it on.
There's plenty of material available for the cars.

It looks like Chessie is winning this contest.
Could you give us some indication what to anticipate in the set?

David,
The set May include:
- Freight Alcos for all three roads to supplement the B&O FAs and WM Alcos that Gaetan has already done.
WM RS-2, S-4
C&O S-2, RS-1, RS-2, RS-3, RSD-5
B&O S-1, S-2, S-4, RS-1
EMD Cabs
- Red/White F-7 for WM
- E7 for B&O
- F7 / E7 & 8 for C&O
- E7 for Pere Marquette
- Some Chessie painted alcos or EMD Cabs if I can find photos
- freight cars
Rick

Rick, don't forget to put lower textures in the set too for people that have older video cards or for people that have trouble with FPS. You can put them an extra folder or something. The lower textures I am talking about is 512x512. Also don't forget about the CSX unit that you promised me too. Just a reminder there. I appreciate the engines and cars that you two do.
Rick, I also have a question. Do you and Gaeten only do older alco and RS and S engines? Can you two do any newer engines like a GP38-2 or SD40-2 or maybe even a GP7 or GP9 with the set? Those are kind of older engines too. Just a thought. And again thank you two for all the engines and cars that you do.
