• <11-Jun-2007>: Here are some models, MSTS addons and theory that webDotTrainSim has noticed lately in the Train-sim library:

• Peter Harvey has modelled another U.K. loco, LNER Class A3 Enterprise 4480, 4480a3v2.zip (2.7Mb, 04-Jun-2007).
• Nick George is the author of a Chicago Metra trainset, ch-metra.zip (12Mb, 06-Jun-2007), which includes EMD F59PHI loco (with cab and custom sounds) and carriages.
• Dwight Mitchell has a number of cabs:

• A new route is the Neighbourhood Route, neighrte.zip (19Mb, 21-May-2007), by Sanford Mace. There's also a trolley, nhstndin.zip (5Mb, 21-May-2007).
• On the theory side and an aid to setting MSTS ENGine file parameters, Joe Realmute has produced a thorough and detailed tutorial on electric locomotive and EMU traction, elec_tut.zip (2.9Mb, 24-May-2007).
