    So this would be an update for Long Island Rail road the new ad on will include stops such as East Williston, Albertson, Roslyn, Greenvale, Glen head, Sea cliff, Glen Street, Glen Cove, Locust Valley and Oysterbay.

    this update would add 10 extra stops for Long Island Rail Rd. and because it’s an nonelectric route there will be a new train added for this update introducing the new DE-30ac/dm units these trains can go on routes that are non-electric allowing the train to go to Oysterbay not only that it would be a good update for people who live in America Because the Long Island rail Road is a very popular train in America and I feel we should give the people what they want and I was doing some looking in the original Long Island map and it seems that you already have East Williston all you need is the platform and so on.

    pricing for the update would be around $40-$30 because you are adding extra stations and a train the price could be whatever you choose I feel like a lot of people would enjoy this new update,

    Benefits of this update you guys would have time to fix bugs for the Long Island rail Road finally fixing the LEDs for the Long Island rail Road and more this would be really good for a long island railroad people would actually want to buy a Long Island Rail Rd. and the extra extension pack.

    future idea updates for LIRR you could possibly extend The map for Long Island Railroad to Montauk being able to play for three hours seems fun not only that the scenery is also fantastic by being able to add extra stations to existing add-on packs could help you do more in the future for other train packs/add-ons not only that you guys would get more Comfortable with adding extra stations being called station add-on packs allowing the player to purchase more stations to go to.

    these prices would be around $15-$10 that way people don’t get too furious with the prices.

    Thank you very much for reading my post here’s some pictures so you can get an idea what the DE30ac/DM units look like

    And here’s a picture of its cab car

    I also got videos of both the cab Bell/horn and the DE-30 units Bell/horn just head over to my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/channel/UCwUeDuxjJXIMrrfHUZ-XQ5A thank you very much I hope you guys have a great day.

    Excellent idea if you want a bundle called Next Generation Long Island Railroad M9 M9A LIRR and Harlem Line & Siemens charger dual mode. Regarding the operation of DM30AC on Oyster Bay Branch are you supposed to turn off electric mode at East Williston for oyster be in Bound Penn Station electric mode East Williston Penn Station or not?

    It depends what unit you’re working on DM units always run on diesel AC units are the ones that switch and yes at Non-electric stations you’re supposed to switch on to diesel

    Not only that if they add this update they could work on other maps that they please because by adding the ability to purchase more stations dovetail would make more money and have a more positive feedback

    I would like to see them add the Oyster Bay Branch as an extension to the LIRR in Game route.

    Yeah not only that I feel like they should update Long Island Railroad’s original track because a lot has changed

    Forget Montauk, that’s way too long.
    The only reasonable thing here is a loco dlc for the loco you propose. DTG have said time and time again there will not be any route extensions, so Oyster Bay is now out of the question too.
    To be fair, LIRR does need an update, but is one of my favourite routes as it is having 5 branches (6 if you include Belmont), I don’t think it needs more track. Also, more diversity would be nice in North American lines, instead of building on old routes.

    I think they can do oyster bay because the tracks on the oyster bay Branch go about half way to east Williston.

    Yeah, but nah.
    DTG have said, they won’t do route extensions.
    The only way another LIRR thing will enter the franchise (which even that I doubt) is a new route entirely.

    I agreed because they don’t have the technology and will take too long to extend it

    It’s not that they don’t have the equipment; they do, and demonstrated that with Meißen. The thing is once you add route extensions you make the route far too long for most systems, especially older consoles so manage.
    Your money is going into paying for route development (ie flying staff to railways to take reference etc) and wages. If you don’t like the products, don’t buy them.
    You are not getting route extensions, for the last time.

    yeah they already have east Williston they should definitely do some scenarios with the dual mode diesel locomotives for the Lirr I hope we’ll see them in the future the DM30AC’s would definitely be cool and make Long Island city with more traffic.

    They wouldn’t have buildings there for no reason if they don’t have any attention of using it

    They aren’t going to do route extensions, for the last time. Your loco suggestion could happen, but not for a while. The most annoying thing one can do on the forum is say ‘we want.’
    Who wants, how do you know.
    Stop thread bumping, and let this sit until someone else has something important or interesting to say, your phone taken screenshots add nothing to this.

    What I am talking about is if the route gets extended to East Williston and you have to operate M3 & M7S up to there how would you turn them around towards Penn Station via Jamaica.

    You just walk to the back of the car and set up and call dispatch saying you want to throw a switch on the west bound line
