Heres an idea some one should make.....since there was a topic about supporting our troops and all....how about if someone could model some of these vehicles we see at the army or on train cars and all and put them like on flat cars and make like a rail load for MSTS....like have a few hummers on some cars or some M1A2's or some 2 1/2 tons or 5 tons or some HETS or some HEMMETS.....I know theres that one red army train somewhere on one of these MSTS web sites..so since theres an army train out there.....how about some modern equipment....
JThese are just some shots I thought were cool....we just got our new radios in these things and I just thought the antennas on these things were pretty sweet....so I thought I'd share em with ya's

I took these while pacing an NS 056 military train 3 weeks ago. The shots may be unclear since i was going 60 and taking pics through the windows.

RE: Army Train

Open the .wag file with WordPad and look at line 64. That is the line causing the problem with MSTS. What is that line? Can't prospose a fix until that is known.I tried to go to that site, but couldn't download beacise of a LOGIN error.
