Japanese Steam

The cab I posted last week is now available in the File Library.
The Hitsatsu is the only one of the original MSTS routes that has a shortline feel to it, and the scenery is among the best.
The file includes the Mogul locomotive. It's a vintage one, built between 1914 and the early 1930s. There's at least one of them still making tourist runs in Kyushu -- occasionally even on the Hisatsu itself. Here are a couple of views.

Yes it's got a crew!

The download also includes five 2-axle freight wagons. Spot 'em anywhere you want.

Crossing the Kuma River. Inset: the real thing.

Hope you enjoy driving this as much as I do. You can use the cab with any other loco if you want.

Rick,

Thank you for a very worthwhile addition. I am downloading it now (modem - boring). I enjoy running on the Japanese lines as a change to the European and American lines. The feel is very different and quite engaging.
