    I also hope that the camera manually attached to the front of the train will stop being knocked down by collisions in the most unexpected places. I'm tired of hanging it back.

    My hot takes: Starting this coming Tueday, make the railway the noisy, banging, clanking, rattling place it is in real life instead of the emasculated sound we typically get in TSW.

    And give us more dirt and grime, more litter etc., rather than the squeaky clean platforms you could eat your lunch off of.

    Yes, even the Cucumbers rattle and lurch around particularly if sat over the bogies you feel every little dip or kink in the track. Even CWR becomes a bit uneven over time but TSW rarely reflects this other than the symmetrical rather than random bounce and sway they introduced.

    Clean or not, I wouldn't eat my lunch off the platforms.

    Hot take: 90% of American routes are long and boring to drive. The only one I've rlly enjoyed is long Island rail road.

    Yeah, give us more 15 miles UK tram routes with stops every 150 yards, and so that the express train could go full route in 8 minutes.

    Well, I could say that 80% of UK routes are short and boring.
    It's all a matter of taste.

    And perhaps 90% of freight traffic on them is carried out using Class 66

    I don't think it's the locomotive. At least the US routes have difficult terrain and the trains are heavy. There's nothing like that in the UK to create a challenge.

    You just don’t understand how much I despise the class 66 both in game and real life,

    usa/ br 1980 freight for the win

    The GP9RM is the most underrated NA freight loco in the game.
