This session is for Austral Bay v5a. You have the choice of crewing one of two Hudson 4-6-4 steam locomotives, either the Milwaukee Road F7 4-6-4 Hiawatha or the Victorian Railways R class. All the items of rolling stock needed by the session will be downloaded from the Download Station when the session is installed. You may see the Black Screen when loading this session. Take no notice and click through - I believe it may be caused by the crew used on the R class.
