Featured prominently in some of the shots is the Amtrak Acela.

It will be interesting to see if you can add your own trains and scenery
from external modules, etc. (Like you can with Flight Simulator). I would
want to take some of Lego MOCs in this group for a spin through the

Looks like you have a choice of 9 trains.  Here's a blurb from one:

along some of England's most beautiful countryside in the late 1920s in

"World's most famous steam loco"?!!!  Krike!  And I thought the Universe

I am going way of topic here, but I love that word...."Krike!" I have never used
