This is the first train I've used blueprints for, and I think I did pretty well. I'll begin construction on V2 shortly, and it should be released by the end of the week. It'll include coaches (as usual for my trains) and more detailing. I'm not sure I'll actually add anything mechanical since it's outside my league. This variant is stationary but can be paired with my Pullman coaches, and note that it will not fit on standard tracks as it's not the correct gauge.
I like the Hudson, especially later variants, because they were simplified and had little to no exposed tubing and parts, making them very sleek and streamlined. (Makes it easier for me to build)
As I said, v2 will be released shortly after I complete this model, so keep that in mind. This is a rough draft, not the complete variant. It's now very, very late (3 AM), so I'm going to stop here and finish the project later in the day. So, good night, I guess.
This train uses my previous Budd coaches. I did have to modify the locomotive truck design to accommodate the coaches. This train is highly detailed (for what I can do). I used photos to get as accurate as possible, including the consist, which features the following:
Stay tuned. I plan on making the Canadian using this very train. Historically, the Canadian was established by Canadian Pacific but bought out by Via Rail in the 70s, so I find it fitting to make the original Canadian using this unit.
Amtrak's variant is planned soon. Amtrak leased the trains from 1980 to 1982 on a two-year lease, primarily for use between New York and Boston. Once done, they were returned to VIA, though Amtrak uses the Bombardier LRC tilting system on their own high-speed train, known as Acela. Anyway, it should be a fairly simple modification, so it shouldn't be more than two days before release.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's here: the one, the only, the LRC #6917. The locomotive has been updated to reflect its current condition, especially with its faded colors. The configuration includes one locomotive (LRC #6917) and three LRC coaches donated by VIA specifically for this test run.
Honestly, I'm surprised that Acela is based on the Canadian LRC, but anyway, on with the features:
This train consists of one Bombardier LRC locomotive and four LRC coaches. I may upgrade this train at some point. I plan on adding more detailing and the active tilt system. I am unable to test its performance, so its top speed is unknown. The train is compatible with all other trains in my fleet, and it uses the same platform as my previous LRC coaches.
Controls: AG-1/2: Activates ditch lights and bell for slower speeds and heavily populated areas.
AG-5: Reverse lights
AG-6: Horn
AG-8: Forward lights
@xdarkxwolf17 unfortunately that requires a level of expertise i lack ive tried making multi car road trains but so far my only successful one is my BUDD RDC
The greatest household weapon of our childhood
V2 has begun

Work on the Royal Hudson begins shortly
The train consist:
I believe so far I'm the only one to make and upload Pullman Heavyweight sleeper cars on SP.
Bravo
The consist layout is as follows:
A new reskin, "A Blast to the Past: The Fabulous '50s," now in Canadian Pacific Maroon, including my first iteration of the PULLMAN SLEEPER COACH!
@Nitsu guess what ive made another variant lol
4 more upvotes and it'll be my most popular build surpassing my 98 part shack that took me a hour to make
@Boeing727200F thanks man that means alot<3
I wonder if I should also update this train
Push to 5k!
This deserves much more attention
This train consists of the following:
1 EMD F7
1 Budd Baggage Car
2 Budd Economy Cars
1 Budd Dome Car
1 Budd Diner Car
2 Budd Manor Sleeper Cars
Small correction: The trip takes roughly two days, sometimes three, depending on local traffic.
Ladies and gentlemen a new contender for the largest mobile creation is now here
@ShirakamiShimada I agree and its proven cuz my airport the size of a shipping container with 97 parts is more popular then any of my trains lol
@Boeing727200F

@RailfanEthan thought you'd like this since its Canadian pacific
Well well well... did someone say C A N A D I A N P A C I F I C?

"The Canadian" is releasing soon.
@Zero0Two2 maybe im not usually into freight services but I might make royal Hudson steam locomotive (just might) since nobody else has
Maybe this post will push me to 4k
Best part its mobile friendly well not that I have problems but for really really low end devices it works
Honestly I love the amount of detailing I've put into this model and the accuracy is astonishing
@Boeing727200F check this beauty out and a bonus I'll be making it compatible with my budd coaches
Stay tuned. I plan on making the Canadian using this very train. Historically, the Canadian was established by Canadian Pacific but bought out by Via Rail in the 70s, so I find it fitting to make the original Canadian using this unit.
This train has been updated. Please check out my new LRC #6917 and LRC Amtrak.
I said and I delivered
DAH STIK
Amtrak variant almost completed
Amtrak variant almost complete
@Boeing727200F tell it to drink the pink

I can nuke this very city perfectly on mobile so if that ain't a flex then idk what is
0 downloads? Hmmm oh hey @Boeing727200F mind testing it out on the rail map?

Controls remain the same as my previous train.
The LRC 2.0 is mostly complete. Stay tuned for its release.

My popularity has tanked if I dont post every day I get basically 0 up votes womp womp
Bombardier LRC Trainset is currently being built. Tune in for the release within the next few days.
Yall really liked the corridor services
Nuking the city doesn't actually do nearly as much damage as I thought
