60 MPH? How about 160MPH? The world's fastest train races through Valence at well over 100MPH.

Eh, where did my signature go?
Where has my favourite LUL train gone? Maybe it was sent for bolt checking again...

RE: 60 MPH or Faster

I would have posted Intercity livery if I had run it already. This is from the GNER East Coast Main Line route available at UK Trainsim. And why would you say I like GNER a lot? I have only posted one GNER picture.I actually prefer American trains, more specifically New York Subways, but since there aren't any New York Subway trains in MSTS yet, I'll have to wait or use BVE.

When you run fast steam, here is my choice. That is 123 mph, cruising on the NEC, with a pretty good train in tow.
