A friend of mine who's more into the GN than I am has this, and he's quite pleased with its quality. He's also a sucker for driving the train from a dome car while crossing the simulated mountain vistas of the GN Hi-Line route for MSTS
I saw this train for myself on his computer, and I agree that it is up to the usual high standards of this group. Further information is available from the BLW/ZT sales page.
