Thanks for the good answers, there's always possible ...

The only best possibility would be to have a 1500 volt generator to use during the times to run 1500 volt equipment than to keep converting the equipment. But you certainly dont want somebody accidentally raising the pole on a 600 v car on 1500vdc. Pantagraph compatible has been done in model form, ...

your layout should have a meaning for being, but be fun and entertaining for all.
Check out various layour books, check with the hobbyshop for any nearby clubs and visit them.

I don't think the current train sims have "put out" to make Linux support like some other games have.

email them, make Bill Gates cringe...

Joe, lets have some fun and paint it ...different...


ohsorrry, our mistake....heheheheh
