    Minimum radius for long train?

    Like the real thing, when it helps, I use pushers. Just make sure they run the same as the lead units. Slower or faster will result in cussing.

    Eastbound Truckin'

    I like it! Is Fostoria in NC? Looks like the crew is getting more than their fair share of sunlight! I like the exhaust heat and the contrast of the units against the green trees.
