RE: Illinois Traction System

Cool! Are you working on just those cars, or the route pictured in your screen shot as well? Either way, keep us posted!

The equipment is about ready, i.e. a Class B loco, a coach, a sleeper, and a parlor-observation; all with some innovative fixes on passenger views.
The route is Tokyo, the standard MSTS default. It has a number of interesting areas and by-ways.
The Class B will come in three pole heights.

RE: Illinois Traction System

I was curious, was the Illinois Traction System a real or fictional electric interurban line? I'm kind of ashamed...I'm from Illinois originally! I should know about this! If those are prototypical cars, do you have any system maps of the Illinois Traction System? I used to live in Forest Park, a suburb of Chicago. Thanks!

Thanks for the link, Chuck! I saved it in my favorites. And Paul...I'll really be looking forward to seeing those ITS cars roll out of the carhouse now!
