Railworks America

I grew up with these machines and, trust me, the detail and accuracy is simply stunning. All 200 of them modelled individually and paying particular attention to all their individual variations. The sounds are spot on. And for the rivet counters amongst us (myself included) - I can see absolutely nothing to fault.

A perfect 100% from me.

If you have any interest in old diesels this is a must-have.

Looks good.

I really like the idea of the 'faults' they describe (traction motor failure & overheating). I wonder how hard those would be to integrate into future north american locos.

Must be "doable"...

Are they suitable for the TS2015 routes, and if so, which ones?

Yes they are - they are suitable for UK West Coast main line routes (WCML North and WCML over Shap and with a stretch of the imagination slightly the Western Lines of Scotland) and the Scottish routes Edinburgh to Glasgow (albeit route too modern) and Just Trains SECML, Liverpool to Manchester, the Woodhead Route, Settle to Carlisle, the UK East Coast routes Newcastle-York, York-Peterborough (CreativeRail) and with a stretch of the imagination the new Edinburgh-Newcastle route from Just Trains

Hope this helps
