    Guess it's tea and biscuits or, well in the USA, coffee and cookies time.
    In my defence the switch ahead of the signal was thrown to access Bakersfield UP yard but "Otto" would not clear the signal.

    haha "shame on you" is brilliant!

    Although this doesn't look like TSW... Is it TSC or is it Run 8 or something?

    Wait so you weren't kicked out of the service? I haven't played so... do you just reverse?

    logbook?

    Also what happens in a collision? Do you get kicked out then?

    They have a feature called the “Vernometer” (quite flattered with that one) which saves various details from your driving history in an xml file.

    A collision in R8 normally leads to one or both trains despawning, especially if side swiped. However as “god”, you can just shrug and go find another train on the network to drive or spawn in a new one. Run 8 is very much free play, there are no scenarios or fixed activities, though serving industries and making up manifests from outgoing cars does provide the sense of purpose.

    It’s a good game, just let down slightly by the rather simple and dated graphics. However that is offset as no other sim offers you the chance to drive from Fresno or the LA Basin some 400+ miles across to Seligman.

    When a player accesses an area in tsw that's out of Bounds. It should say. Shame on you: You were seeing things you shouldn't. Want to see this modded in.
