So looking at the excluded content list, only the BNSF content that is available worldwide can be used atm, and not anything that is still US only. For example, we can use Marias Pass now, but not Stevens Pass until that is available worldwide. Just looking for some clarification for the new year.
Route: West Somerset Railway Locos: S15, Merchant Navy 'Clan Line', Black Five, SD&JR 7F and GWR Modified Hall
Read the excluded content. Technically the route is still not available worldwide, so it's still excluded.
It is available worldwide, just without the branding. I can buy the route on Steam right now but it clearly states "non US customers". I was going to buy it during the last sale.
An Ex-Burlington Northern SW1500 pulls out of the shed on a rainy afternoon in Shelby, Montana, en-route to do some switching duties in the yard. Route: Montana Hi-Line Locomotive: EMD SW1500
A handful of Western Pacific power sits idle at the Oroville Roundhouse. Route: Feather River Canyon Locomotives: EMD GP20, EMD GP35, EMD F7A, GE U30B
Havre, MT is a major maintenance base for BNSF railway. It appears to be a normal day here, except for the Amtrak P42 being shoved back into the shop for on-the-road repairs. Route: Montana Hi-Line Locos: ES44DC, GP38-2, SW1500, P42DC
Aerial shot of some classic German heritage out on parade for a photo shoot at the Leipzig Roundhouse. Route:- Mighty Seddin Freight Locos:- DB BR 52, 10, 18, 24, 86.
A busy day at Haymarket workshop, 57005 waits awaits it's next assignment after recovering 170424 to workshop 2. (Class 170, Class 57 on the Edinburgh - Glasgow route)
A DB BR294 pushes a faulty DB BR101 over the Traverser & into the workshop at Munich. (Munich - Augsberg Route)
Maybe if the maintenance crew spent less time chatting and more time working then 170424 wouldn't break down so much? Mind you with the almost complete lack of PPE being worn the management look slack as well. Love the composition.
Cheers, it's from a workshop scenario and like you say they obviously don't do Health & Safety at Haymarket.
Jamie, thanks for the update, but I see that a lot of the still excluded content is BNSF legacy brands. What's the position with regards them, both generally and in this competition?
"Starting the shift On Shed" - thirsty work this steaming lark! Locos:- BR Standard 9F, Stanier Black 5 Route:- West of Scotland Lines (The Port Road)
