The Iron Horse Series will represent routes that hearken back to the days of Little Engines and Big Men. A time when railroads were expanding, towns were being born... Boom Times!
Those experienced with Microsoft(tm) Train Simulator (or "MSTS" for short) will find that railroading on a VSC route from the Iron Horse Series will be quite different than what you may be used to! For example, there are NO signals. All mainline movements are made by Train Orders! You'd better read your Train Orders carefully to avoid the infamous "Cornfield Meet"!
Another item for a North Arkansas railroader to be aware of will be the operating characteristics ("physics") of the equipment. That too, will reflect railroading "back then"! I tell 'ya, railroadin' "back then" t'weren't for the faint of heart or those lookin' fer a "gravy train"!
Say, would you like to see some SCREEN PICS? Great! Here'ya go...
Workin' southbound an' about to enter the Tunnel.
Gettin' ready to do some switchin' at Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

Number 3 simmers in the summer sun at Berryville, Arkansas, just before her crew begins their day's work.
Route miles: Mainline is 33 miles in length. Eureka Springs branch is near 2 miles long, and the Berryville Branch is about 3 miles.
Theme: Based on a prototype, but adjusted as needed to accommodate the nuances of Microsoft's Train Simulator 1. In addition, some of the towns have been enhanced to increase operational potential.
Era: 1900-1902
Expected Release Date: RELEASED! June 2004
