I too would love to go to Washington or Boston, but hey, it's the first American passenger route the game has modeled (the Cajon Pass and Castle Rock routes are primarily freight, though one can drive an F7A/B passenger on both). It'd be cool to see the NJT and SEPTA liveries as well as Acelas. That said, it would be really nice if there were other trains besides the AEM-7 Amtrak trains. Since the majority of the route is at or about 110mph, it's giving me a little taste of what our Lincoln line will be like pretty soon. That said, even virtually flying at 150mph for about 3 1/2 minutes is pretty awesome. I don't know about in real life, but I'm assuming it's at least pretty close. In the game, there are only about 8 miles of 150mph track. Already I'm seeing some of the issues y'all are talking about regarding the speed restrictions. Welcome to Run 8 Studios We put the TRAINS back in the Train Simulator World Finally The wait is over The future of train simulation has arrived Yes, version 2 of Run 8 Train Simulator is now available and we could not have done it without the community's generous feedback and support over the last four years. Overall, very well done units, 4/5 rating.Īs one who has never been on the NEC, I am absolutely loving this expansion. what the engineer is supposed to know in terms of speed limits, it'd be greatly appreciated. If someone could enlighten me on what the cab signals are supposed to say, vs. On one of my early runs, I hit the curve at Frankford Junction at 111mph, Cab Signals showed 110 for track speed, but speed limit was actually 55 resulting in tipping over off the tracks.
However, I'm not sure exactly what Track Speed is supposed to display. There is also functioning Cab Signaling in the AEM-7 with track and signal speeds displayed underneath as appropriate.

Found to the right of the large central speedometer, you simply drag the dial to the appropriate speed, and the unit will maintain plus or minus about half a mile per hour which includes applying the dynamic brakes when appropriate.ĭitch lights and strobes don't flash yet, but that should be rectified shortly after Train Simulator 2012 (Railworks 3) is released on September 23. A neat feature that is included on the AEM-7 is a cruise control. Operationally, the only bug I could find is that the X key does not activate the sanders, but the in-cab button does. The Amfleets are also well-modeled, though personally, I think the blue on their stripes is too light. The AEM-7 is well modeled, and judging by in-cab pictures, well-textured inside and out. If this is still too much, I can bring the number down even more. To benefit those with slower connections, I have only embedded 7, and linked to the others. Here's a review of the route plus pictures from a trip down the entire modeled length of the line. If you need any more pictures of the locomotive let me know.Today, Railworks released for sale, the Northeast Corridor between New York and Philadelphia, which includes the AEM-7 and Amfleets, and will shortly be releasing Acela, and P42 with Superliners. ***** If modeling from scratch does not work out, we can import a model from Train Simulator 2016 (Railworks) but only as a last resort.
Now for some features that would be nice to put into the locomotive: Tractive Effort: 280.25 kN (63,000 lbf) Starting It houses a full-scale motion simulator that duplicates the experience of operating Acela Express trains from inside the cab, an on-board service-training lab complete with seats, tables and food preparation areas. RPM Range: 200-1050 (600-900 while supplying HEP) Amtrak’s five commemorative 50thAnniversary P42 locomotives were created to celebrate 50 years as America’s Railroad®, each with a different design. Amtrak opened its High-Speed Rail Training Facility in Wilmington, Del., in 1999 to train employees assigned to the Acela Express. Wheelbase: 43 ft 2 1⁄2 in (13.17 m) (between truck centers) Now that we are modeling this locomotive here are some specifications and blueprints for the locomotive.
