Rich in its faith, for the second 10 years. Your models are some of the best, most accurate models anyone's ever produced. Keep it up and don't stop doing what you love, Steve.
Congratulations for updating the old PRR L1s into new ones! I hope you can update your other old contents, like the SP Mt-4, CB&Q O5b, PRR J1, M1b and even the B&O P7 Cincinnatian for the 10 Year Anniversary too!
Amazing video K&L! This is another well made 10th Anniversary video and a nice tribute to the L-1s! A deteriorated L-1 520 sits in the yard at the RR Museum of Pa.
absolutely outstanding work! the L1 is my favorite PRR design and you have knocked it out of the park! i saw the first draft (i believe) at the train show in Edison, NJ (i’m also the same kid who bought a print of the four RDG T1s) and that then amazed me. you continue to amaze me with your work. the amount of time that goes into these must be tremendous, and you never fail to provide. (P.S. new smoke effects?) 3:30 new Atlantic??
Glad you made it out to Edison. We may do it again for the November show. Same smoke texture, but coded a bit different, and also black instead of brown. Atlantic was made 5 years ago, and it part of a whole set of E3/E5/E7 light Atlantics. I've been chipping away at them bit by bit over the years, and will eventually get them done. They need a bit of updating, as well as cab interiors.
Love going to the Greenberg train show in Edison to meet you, and I love these refurbished models! For your next ones, you could do the PRR J1 and the NKP S2 Berkshire.
Really like that new smoke script and color y’all decided to add on to the models 👌🏽 Wonder if the original L1’s are going to be repurposed into the freeware section now on the website. Sick work as always!
Your videos are gorgeous. And I must say, seeing those little micro stutters makes me less obsessed about them on my own PC. :D Really, it's something of a relief. Assuming they are available publicly, I'd love to know what tank cars you have in these shots. I collect early to mid 20th rolling stock for my Trainz.
Ah, the L1 class. A comprised 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam engine. A total of 344 units were built between 1914 & 1919 by the Pennsy's own Juniata Shops as well as 205 by Baldwin, and 25 by Lima Locomotive Works. They were the largest class of 2-8-2 locomotives anywhere, although other railroads had more Mikados in total. The L1s shared the boiler and many other components with the K4s 4-6-2 "Pacific" type, giving a total of 425 locomotives with many standard parts. Although the L1s type was quite successful, it was very much eclipsed in PRR service by the larger and more powerful I1s/I1sa 2-10-0 "Decapods", which arrived in service only two years after the L1s and were very suited to the PRR's mountain grades and heavy coal and mineral trains, and by the 1923 introduction of the M1 4-8-2 "Mountains" which took on the best high-speed freight runs. Large numbers of the class were stored out of service during the Great Depression, only to return to service during WW2. The L1s remained in service until the end of steam on the PRR in the late 1950s. The only survivor of the L1 class is #520. After it was retired, it was added to the PRR's historic locomotive collection in the Northumberland roundhouse and followed most of that collection to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania where it remains today on static display. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. I believe the reason why is because #520 was involved in an accident on November 14, 1942, where her boiler exploded killing her engineer and brakeman near Cresson. The fireman and the conductor were injured and shattered windows on a nearby house were. 2 occupants of the house were also injured by scalding water and flying embers, which also set a rug on fire. The force of the blast derailed the tender and 6 tank cars. #520 was eventually repaired and returned to service.
I've learned my lesson about releasing things during the day. It's easier to release at night when traffic is slower and gradually come in. Having Black Friday bum rushes during the day is tough to manage, especially if there's an issue that needs to be addressed.
Credit Card, in hand, wallet, empty. Can’t wait to buy these hopefully tomorrow. Also that Atlantic in the background looks good 👀. Edit: Bought them, and love them!
I'm really loving these updated PRR Models fellas. I already am picking up the Decapods and the K4s and Mikados are next on my list. Perfect timing for the release of the new PRR Pitsburgh to Altoona Route. They'll look fantastic in TRS19 and TRS22! Do you know if you're going to update all your PRR locos? Or do you just have specific ones in mind? I'm not trying to sound like a gimmie pig but rather just genuinely curious. I'd love to see the Streamlined K4's get a new lease on life as well.
Very well done Steve. I saw this engine for the first time in August 2022. BTW, is the locomotive 6538 in 3:35 a project you're working on, or is it another's model?
I wish Trainz rolling stock and locomotives all had wheel flange squealing.. :c what sound mods do you use for the freight trucks? I’d love to use the routes you have here to make some awesome videos!
It's one of small set of PRR E3/E5/E7 light Atlantics that I was commissioned to make along side the PRR 7002. They need cab interiors and a bit of updating before I can call them finished.
About 50 to 75 Cars on average I believe. They were built for light mixed traffic work so the trains wouldn't go much longer than that. The longest record of a single 2-8-2 hauled train I could find was about 79-80 cars by an NKP USRA Built Mikado.
Everything needed to make my models work comes with the set. Anything else is already built-in items that come with the game. So depending on what items are faulty, a simple database repair may fix your issue
@@finnbair3759 Because they are outdated and they don't have to. People bugging them is probably going to discourage them to release old models anyways.
