The big advantage of TRAINZ over MSTS is the ability to make loops. I hope the new MSTS facilitates this as so many real railroads have loops in them.

>loops.Only if your trying to recreate a model railroad where everything is just a big oval, (two laps of the Lionel makes a trip)!!As noted there are many instances of balloon tracks in existing MSTS routes. Cajon Pass, Marias Pass 3.1, Seaview and Ohio Rails are just a few that pop into my head.

<<many real railroads have loops in them.>>And I have been able to model 3 different loops on my Baltimore Sub CSX route in MSTS1. Here are Curtis Bay, Locust Point, and Canton with no problem.

RE: MSTS2

Thank you. I have not released it yet. I had not done anything for about 9 months. I had just picked up with it over the holiday.
