Posted today in the Train Sim Library is a file for the DC Metro in Vince Cockeram's NECv4 Route.Since the route is isolated, this file includes 2 basic "Explore" paths to keep you running plus a "freelance" version of the DC Metrocars.There is only a small problem with one side of the car the way the ACE file was mapped by KUJU. Some of the lettering, notably the words "METRO", and "LOCAL" are reversed but one ACE file is used for both sides so this can't be overcome. The same problem appeared when I placed the "roll-sign" destinations on the car ends, but since they are separate pictures, it became easy to get the lettering correct on this part.Enjoy the result.Doug

I too would like to see replicas, but I'm grateful for these. My Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac (in progress) includes the blue and yellow lines from National Airport to Huntington and Springfield.

Huh? Has it been uploaded to a website somewhere (it is definately not in the File Library), or have you beta tested it? Or are you just trolling?

Nevermind, I thought it was a complete activity included, so I looked in the "Passenger Activites" section. Realise now that it was a misunderstanding on my site. It is only a trainset and paths. Turns up easily by searching for "Metro" in the File Lib
