    Run8 Studios AMTK Viewliners and UPDATE 15 ARE HERE

    The Viewliners have arrived at the station from Run8 Studios

    The Viewliner pak
    - consists of 2 baggage cars
    - 1 baggage/dorm
    - 1 diner
    - 2 sleepers.

    There is a PDF in the UserGuide so you can see how the real life consists were made up. High detail inside the diner and a roomette you can sit in or ride along and even just watch roll on by.

    Available here at Run8studios.com







    ALSO UPDATE 15 IS OUT

    Run8 V3 Change Log

    Update15
    • Fixed MP15 Gyralites and Mars Lights coming on incorrectly under certain MU conditions
    • Fixed MP15 gladhands sitting too low relative to other equipment
    • Keyboard Controls have been added for SlowSpeed_Increase and SlowSpeed_Decrease
    ◦ They are unassigned by default
    ◦ They function the same as mouse-holding the MP15 Hump Speed adjustment lever
    ◦ Please Note: you must be in-cab in order to use these
    • A Keyboard Control has been added for cycling thru the various positions of the Service Selector Switch
    ◦ It is unassigned by default
    ◦ The MP15 is the only locomotive that has this control at this time; the switch position is irrelevent for any
    other locomotive
    • Fixed the Train Tagger to allow special characters in the car tag (since they have been allowed for the
    Destination Tag in the Car Options Menu)
    • Fixed some naughty Amtrak gladhand mismatches
    • Fixed an issue using a Custom Input Device where if enabled and the sim was restarted, you'd have to
    manually reset\restart the device from the menu; it should set itself up properly now on restart
    • Selkirk Terminal
    ◦ Fixed a missing signal link Main 1 approaching CP-SM (near the big bridge)
    • Mohawk Sub
    ◦ Fixed floating pole near the yard office at Dewitt​

    Very nice. Will add the Viewliners to my "must purchase" list.

    Trying to remember how we board a vehicle to do a ride along?

        Thanks Mike.

        Of course more passenger stock highlights the fact John needs to write in a routine so we can actually put in proper timetabled runs rather than just abstract trips.

        And with the gimmie pig hat still on, some more Amtrak locos - F40PH and P32's etc. - would go down nicely.
        Vern.

          No worries Vern. Yeah be great when we can drive all the way from Chicago, on whatever the passenger service is to LA. 😁
          I would delete every other train game i own, to be able to do that.

                  Thanks for the link Dale. They certainly look nice. Also answered a question I had about how the seated accommodation is provided - Amfleet cars which I also need to add to my collection.

                    Amfleet cars interior are nothing like the standard of those new coaches.

                      Hopefully they will get a refurbishment at some point.
