I was checking the site logs, and I saw that someone was looking for Norfolk and Western's 4-8-4 "J" number 611 for Microsoft's Train Simulator. Well, I am pleased to report the following information:
The model, and apparently its textures, have been created. The *.ENG file, which is to say the numbers that the simulation will use to replicate the performance of the locomotive, is under production. I have no information about any particularized sound suite.
More information is available by clicking here. This link may become inoperative at some time in the future, due to the nature of the forum software.
And praise to God & 'Racehorse' Smith, for a last-generation N&W steam locomotive pack is not too far from completion. Included will be the following locomotives:
J 611
M 1100
A 1218
Y3 2009
Y6 2171
Also, an accurate model of Jawn Henry, the N&W's coal-fired steam turbine monster of the 1950s, has been seen in production. Rule Roanoke, baby. To borrow a phrase from Gihren Zabi, sieg steam! (So long as it's N&W steam, that is.)
