Metrolink's Antelope Valley Line Irl

What's everybodys thoughts on the preview we just got?

There's something up the the wheel but it's sounds alright to me.

 

What in da hell was that?
- why does it have crooked wheels?
- why is it constantly blowing air?
- why does it squeak like it hasn't been oiled since the founding of the US?
- why does horn sounds like it was recorded from miles(why it is so quiet)?

 

In terms of the air hissing, in idling videos I have watched, they seem to occur regularly, but not often like the one in the video.

It probably is squeaking because the locomotive is braking and accelerating at the same time to maintain speed? Could be an ai locomotive which drive kinda weirdly. Not sure, but that's like the only reasonable scenario.

Horn sounds being quiet have always been a weak point in tsw.

 

The route is impressive. I asked DTG to hire a Hollywood director for TSW4 and they did

 

Idk personally the route is long but it is extremely slow, and this isn’t DTG’s fault, the actual route itself is very slow, we haven’t gotten above 6mph

 

I like the scenery. Both this and Vorarlburg has good scenery imo.

 

The route itself isn't bad. They fudged the freight services a bit from the looks though which is disappointing as this was the first route in TSW to have mainline passenger and mainline freight

 

you can a see the PIS which is how they showed it.

 

Got back out to the line again Saturday.

 

Would be nice if the MP36 got the new metrolink livery

 

Still looking out for this Cummins driven beast. Not spotted yet...

 

Oh nice. They added LED headlights to the MP36s.

DTG, we're waiting... at this point, I think it's gonna be a community repaint of the CalTrain one until (if the "promise" is kept) the official DTG one is released.
