[@theappalachiarailfans]

When I was a very young kid, the Crescent Limited always attracted me. I even made and painted a Ps-4 out of a shoebox and some toilet paper rolls. Back then I already loved trains, but - as I said - I was young and didn’t know too much. But then as I gained a couple years, I realized something through my research: the Crescent is - in my opinion- the best train on Earth. I still think that. I’ve always dreamed of taking the Amtrak Crescent just to see the route. And now, sure enough, the best 3rd party Trainz DLC maker has made one of the best trains to ever run in America. Steve, you’ve done a great job with the locomotives and the rolling stock, and I’m happy to say that I’ve been enjoying your Crescent Limited as well as your A&WP 290 for several months now. Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@jayo1212]

Same with me! I was attracted to it ever since I saw the advertisement for Franklin Mint's HO model! Now I actually live along the Crescent and have taken it to DC on numerous occasions!

You guys keep outdoing yourselves every time with these!

[@SouthernRailwayProductio-rw8wb]

Now that is the locomotive I love

[@bonzeroo]

Very nicely done! The narrator remarked during the scene at the scrap yard that these engines were "infamous". I believe he meant "famous". Otherwise, the comparison of your artwork with actual photos was outstanding!

[@jacobwoods8738]

He is referencing infamy, such as President Roosevelt’s “Day that will live in infamy” speech. The infamous XXX is perfectly normal, just different to fame.

[@bonzeroo]

@@jacobwoods8738 Merriam-Webster defines infamy as "evil reputation brought about by something grossly criminal, shocking or brutal .". Roosevelt's deliberate use of this word is indeed appropriate as this was a shocking and brutal act by the Japanese. Bonnie and Clyde were infamous criminals for the same reason- they did things that were shocking , brutal and evil. I'm not aware that these engines did anything particularly shocking, brutal or evil, such as deliberately choosing to come off the rails and run people down (to be ridiculous). However, they were famous for many reasons, including the pulling of Roosevelt's funeral train. What might be considered infamous is the scrapping of these engines, save for the one at the Smithsonian. Hence my comment. As a wholly different aside, your "PRR FG-1" video is outstanding. Having a "what-if" locomotive and actually constructing it was brilliant.

Another idea I had on that front would be that the Ps-4s that were originally built with Baker valve gear are never rebuilt with Walscherts. Frankly, the Walscherts had a severe negative effect on the locomotive's overall appearance.
