    Click image for larger version  Name:	unnamed.jpg Views:	0 Size:	130.4 KB ID:	2306614 The folks at TrainSimulations.Net have another great rolling stock set for us....

    Mechanical refrigerator cars are an essential piece of railroading, bringing fresh fruit and produce from the growing fields in California and Florida, as well as meat from the Great Plains and fish from the coasts to consumers nationwide.

    This set offers the standard Pacific Car and Foundry 57' car that was in widespread use from the 1960's to the 1990's. A few still remain in service today following rebuilds. A wide variety of roads are represented, including the UP, SP, ATSF, BN, CR, and a handful of leasing companies. The Class I cars come in several versions, so mixing a unit train without the same car being repeated next to itself is quite easy to accomplish.

    As with the more recent rolling stock packs, at $9.99 this is reasonably priced.

    You just can't get this much reefer anywhere else...

    • State of the Site - September 2024
      by eric

      This month's SOTS comes to you from MP247 on the NS "Rathole", otherwise known as the Town Formerly Known as Nemo. While we've been coming down here for the last few months doing site prep, the last two weeks was particularly noteable, as we moved our RV onto the site, managed to get internet and water hookups, and almost daily deliveries from Amazon. The first week was all work -- burning brush, bringing down a few trees, burying a septic tank and clearing a path for the BobCat to make it t...

    • New Heritage Locomotive Sets
      by eric

      As Casey Kasem used to say.... the hits just keep on coming....

      And if you're old enough to know who that is, you're going to love the two sets that TrainSimulations.net just released.

      First up.... SD45's in Conrail heritage liveries, which our departed friend Dave Edwards would have loved.

      This set includes as-delivered Erie-Lackawana and Penn Central units, plus Conrail. These were seen anywhere Conrail operated, and will be at home on just about any route...

      I had to do a double-take when I looked at the date today... Yes, September is just around the corner. With that, my youngest started what's hopefully his last semester at the University of North Texas this week, and my granddaughter went back last week to start her last year in elementary school. Time flies way too fast in that regard. Heading back to school also means one of my favorite times of year -- NFL football is back. While the pre-season is not supposed to be an indicator of anythin...

    • Memberships and Why They Matter
      by eric

      Checking Trainsim has been part of my daily routine for the better part of the last 20 years.

      It's like checking the news -- I turn on the PC or open a browser on my phone, and it's there.

      And I'm glad it is -- there are folks here I've known to varying degrees dating back 20 years, and this hobby is one of the few distractions I get from everyday life, and for that I'm grateful.

      Some of you may not realize how close this site came to being like UKTrainsim...

      Happy Independence Day!

      It's hard to believe we're already halfway thru the year, but that's where we are.

      I do apologize for writing this a bit late -- hopefully by now, everyone who celebrates the day has had a chance grab a burger or brat at a cookout, and is getting ready to sit back and watch for some fireworks either tonight or in the coming days.

      Listening from my home office, the celebrating started in our neighborhood last night and hasn't stopped....
