Train Artisan's First Retail Product - American Classics Train Sim Pack

We are very happy to announce Train Artisan's first retail product, American Classics - Train Sim Pack

We are also happy to announce that Just Trains will be publishing this Add-on for MSTS.

This Add-on is our tribute to the New York Central Railroad of 1940's and 1950's - it was a fantastic time for locomotives and the passenger service. It was a time of transition from streamlined steam to the new and powerful Diesels.

We've included quite a few locomotives in this pack. Several of these as well as the NYC livery are exclusive to this Add-on only.

This is the 2.1 version of the ESE model which includes re-built and detailed bogies for both the locomotive and tender as well as re-animated rods. We've also made shadows that cast over the drivers to add just that extra touch of realism!

 
 
 
EMD FP3 NYC #3502

This is a new model with an extended body and streamlined pilot and is exclusive to this Add-on only.

 
 
 
 
EMD E7a and B units NYC #4027 and NYC #4011

These E units took over as the motive power for the post-war 20th Century Limited and the Empire State Express

 
 
 
 
EMD F3, F7 a and b units NYC #1604 and NYC #1816

How could you have a Tribute to the New York Central without their famous lightning striped F3 and F7 freight engines!

 
 
 
 
NYC Passenger Car Sets

Along with the locomotives, we've included 3 passenger car sets -

The Empire State Express set, The 20th Century Limited Pre-war, and The 20th Century Post-war sets

 
 
 
 
Custom Cab and Passenger Views

You also have the choice of running the locos from their own 3D animated cab views or take a break and ride in the observation car while listening to new music orchestrated especially for the Add-on.

For the Hudsons, you can switch between to different cab views. To make this easier, a custom Cab-Switch program is included to allow you to set-up each Hudson with a different cab view.

Also, included are custom sound effects for the internal and external views...you won't believe your ears when you ride in the cab of the Es or Fs - We've actually recorded our own sound effects from real cab units!

 
 
 
 
14 Exciting Activities

There are 14 new activities specially crafted for use with this pack. 6 of these are exclusive and only available in this add-on.

The Big Race activity has been updated to include a race between the Pre-War Empire State Express and the Post-War Empire State Express headed up by an E7.

 
 
 
 
6 Exclusive Collector Postcards
