Thanks. The creator actually does offer a Amtrak version with the set. Along with VIA and a UA demo paint scheme I think it is. My routes are slowly improving, and faster than my videos. I'll try to remember to run a Amtrak next time. :)
VERY VERY NICE!! I wish they would do one of the Amtrak Turboliners also. I rode them a few times and I loved how smooth-riding they were and their huge windows too. For a while they were favorites on the NY-Montreal Adirondack.
Thanks. The VIA sign was a rare find, but if I recall. it's buried deep in Eds Trains On Line 'freeware' section. And quite possibly one of Gaetan Belanger's first creations - but don't quote me on that.
Phew! Better than Kreskin then. :) It's a pretty good gold mine there. And the sign should be relatively easy to install and place in RE. BTW - I've since 'raised' Brantford area around the station by 7ft or so. So hopefully will make a better video of all this soon again.
The TURBO train was a Canadian Engineering masterpiece. it was decades ahead of its time. It still holds the speed record for any train in Canada and the United States till this day! After all the issues were fixed, the train had a 98.6% reliability rate (best in NA), top speed of over 170.8mph.
I'm not sure the Canadians can lay claim to engineering the Turbo there Patrick? From my understanding it was designed by United Aircraft (UA) and used in America as well. But I think it looks best in CN colours, and was never really given a proper chance. Like buying a Lambougini car to drive in downtown rush hour. Had CN gave it a good right of way and allowed it to do it's intended top speeds, I think it would still be a great train even today.
This route looks really fun, especially because I railfan it weekly. The turbo trains were a really odd breed but this video is great. What's the horn like on em' turbo's?
You're lucky! I'd love to get in and around Bayview Junction. As for the horns on the turbos, sadly just generic MSTS GP38's I think? I modded mine with a nicer F7, but the real ones sounded like a Mazda Miata car horn. (I got to sit in the cab barreling to Kingston years ago and beep the horn.)
Thanks Via! It certainly has been, and still is a 'labour of love' for me. As for public release though, I think I would be in serious trouble. Many of the items you see in the video are from numerous payware and freeware routes and downloads. Clearances and credit's would be astronomical, hence my thanking the 'Enitre MSTS Community' in the video just to be on the safe side for now. :)
I am truly speechless. The route is so beautiful! I am honestly amazed at how alive you made the route. What are your plans in terms of public release?

Great finds though at Ed's. Happy hunting.

What's the song called?

The songs are rough ideas for future projects and contributions. So my naming of them is pretty lame for the most part. But in order of play they are:
The Christmas Song (as I did it Dec 23)
The Last Time Things Will Be The Same
Toronto Lullabye (Hence the inside joke with my GTA videos)
Glad you enjoyed. :)
