In all of the screenshots I have seen, an M1 has been pulling the passenger trains. I really hope that a K4, T1, or someother passenger steam loco is included with TS2. It would be a real shame if all of the passenger activities included w/ TS2 were pulled by a freight loco.

Actually, Pennsy had 20 M1's and 10 M1a's assigned to passenger service. The 10 M1a's were numbers 6700 thru 6709 and had the gold striped long distance tenders. Admittedly, the M1a shown in the pictures is outside of this sequence, but that does not eliminate all M1's from passenger service. Also, take a good look at the box top picture. That shows a K4. So I think there will be both good freight and passenger locomotives.

Actually all the side views are of M-1as. There is already an excellent T-1 available as well as a soon to be available I-1 and and H-9. K-4 is also under construction. Watch for the Mid Div.

>for the Mid Div. I assume you're referring to the T-1 available and K-4 under construction for Train Simulator 1? Those models suck.

Kevin, I could not have said it better! BTW, no K-4 has been released yet so how can this gentleman say its "sucks?" He must have the ability to see into the future and be able to judge a "loco" by thinking of them. Is he a medium or a parapsychologist? Maybe he has a time machine? I know.. he all ready owns MSTS2!

I dunno Mike. It seem we have a lot of T.I.T.s (Trolls In Training) lately. Wonder if it has to do with the eclipse of the moon?Kevin Arceneaux

Funny, the K-4 looked pretty good when last I saw it. I'd say with the textures it was getting it'd rank up there with Fozzy's K-36. Or was that a crappy model too?I agree, kevarc and midimaio.
