Rails by Akander w/ Tweaks by Micro
Hiawatha Trucks and base FM Erie Built by Kevinistheir w/ detailing by Micro

I've been working on this for close to 2 years I think? I hope to do another installment in a similar vein but we'll see. It can't be overemphasized how much work this was. On the plus side, I learned a lot and the Super Dome/Skytop combo was unquestionably the most complicated 3D model I've ever attempted. Enjoy!

can you make a hiawatha steam train

This a fantastic map! Both the design of the terrain and of the custom models for the trains. Especially since I love the Milwaukee Road!

This map is so damn good, it got me back into the game!

This is a really good map, not to mention the amount of detail you put on the coaches doesn't make my computer do a Chernobyl is wonderful, 1 problem though, every time I start up the game, the coaches or props used in the game don't show up UNLESS I go onto to the map. Which gets irritating after doing it for 4 months
