RE: N&W J611 has been uploaded to the file library.

Drifton, ignore the inquiry about the route. I just saw the other thread about it being uploaded tonight.Thanks.Another comment on the 611: With this version coming and Blackhawk2000's locos coming soon, it's a great day for N&W fans. Also, thanks to Drifton and Austin Yoder for their great work on the Clinch Valley, Pocahantas and East River Routes. Keep up the good work guys.

RE: N&W J611 has been uploaded to the file library.

Thanks for the comment. I hope that many enjoy my route, I however have to say though that my route is nothing compared to the Pokey, but if you like country side and farm land running, then you might get into mine more so, it just depends. I can't wait for people to begin to post screenshots of my route and here feedback --DriftonClinch Valley DistrictRails = 100%

Hallo!
I was lucky at my third shot in the login lottery, and have already had a short test run. Thank you for this beauty! At last another really new engine and not a repaint of one of the standard types (nothing against the friendly fellows who provide us with the standard engines for our favorite companies!).Keep on steamin'!
