USA Variety Pack V2.0
Version 2 of the USA Variety Pack to increase the variety of steam locos for the American gameplay type. Many of these locos are generalisations of practices at the time and should not be confused with authentic models.
This pack is compatible with USA Variety Pack 1 savegames, as well as savegames with 6-2-0 John Stephens and 2-6-0 early mogul. It simply overwrites the content and the games will still load.
This pack contains 12 locos ranging from 1850 to 1910, and a balanced Passenger Wagon and General.
All engines contain custom soundsets.
