    Yes I may be at fault for that. But again that’s if a user is following us. Like I say in the comments just posted then if a community member want to only follow Rail 200 thread then it’s on that thread only. No kinda personal discussion

    Hence why we follow who we find interesting or pin threads that are interesting.
    But I don’t like the tone here and it’s late for me.

    We are 3 guys coming together as community members and as friends. If that doesn’t interest anyone then fine. Don’t comment.
    Yet if anyone is interested in Rail 200 then there is a thread for user to follow. Away from personal discussions between community members and friends.

    Friends that support each other not pull each other apart.
    And as I say I am not happy about the tone or direction of topic.

    Hence I will not bite. I don’t need it, and nor will anyone else like my bite.

    So be nice. You or anyone else don’t want to make me feel uncomfortable because I will just disappear and those responsible for getting me in a state that is not healthy will have a lot to answer for.

    I am here to be kind and supportive not get in to stupid arguments.

    On that note thank you so much for having a pop at TG08. It’s a bit uncalled for if I am honest.
    But I will go before I say to much.

    Not happy, not happy at all.
    Why even bother a?. Try be nice and this is all you get.

    I’m fuming:(
    Don’t worry TG08.

    I’ll be Back:)
    Lee✌.

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across as condescending. You have a monumental task when it comes to creating this and are handling it really well; I just want to help in any way I can. I did not mean to pull any friends apart, nor did I mean to set a negative tone. I'm sorry that it came across that way but I did really mean for it to be friendly.

    Could you please point to the post in question please? I'm assuming you were referring to my post about the 177 posts but I'm not sure. My rather smooth brain struggles without very explicit callouts and I want to improve myself in this regard.

    I’m so sorry, I overreacted yesterday. I feel so bad and also I little anxious at the mo.

    I don’t like confrontation at all believe it or not. I may take five and read more comments before I take things out of perspective or context.

    You seem to be okay tho with the gang so I may take some time, and I’m sure than can help you going forward.
    I will try come back later if not tomorrow to see what you have all been upto.

    No risk of me upsetting anyone now for which if I did then again I truly apologise for my behaviour.

    TSLP✌.

    Honestly, you were upset by something (probably for a valid reason) and did the right thing by waiting to calm down before reviewing the situation. Most people tend to send situations like this into a shouting match until a moderator locks down a thread. You have my utmost respect for being mature enough to walk away when you needed to.

    Please don't feel bad; we're all still friends and no harm was done.

    I am acutely aware that we are currently hijacking TrainGeek08's Creator's Club thread: I apologise for that, TG08.

    Oh thank you I was worrying so much about this, and you have nothing to apologise for. It’s just banter from your end.
    And believe it or not I’m up for banter any time, except that night. Which I wont go into as like you say it’s like we’re taking over TG08 thread and now adding to 177 pages of content;). I wish I could link the comment if that would help you but I don’t know how unfortunately.

    I’m no whizz my self on what is what, and why I am delayed so much. I’m all over the place.

    And so I may have got off to a bad start and he’s me going on about my role as PR lol. I’ll sack myself with immediate effect:)

    But I’m all cool as I say I’m not one for any kinds of confrontational situations.

    So if you want to move away from not getting bogged down with who said what:)
    I’m cool if you are.

    Plus I am sure you have better things to be doing than getting involved with me when having a sudden wobble.
    That’s my issue to deal with and any consequences that may result. You did nothing wrong thus have no blame on you to worry.
    It was my fault and take full responsibility for the situation you suddenly found yourself in.

    Again for that I truly apologise to you.
    I seen you page comments and I believe in that. We just never know what going on with others.

    Only when we are being open can we see. Sadly you seen my ugly side. I’m so sorry for that to happen because I don’t know what day your having.
    And if I did ruin your evening that night, then I will make sure from this day forth all your days and evening are full of Joy.

    I was going to answer you following messages but I feel I may have covered this and also aware of being on TG08 thread.

    So if your good to move on then I’m happy to say no more and hopefully start again as tho nothing happened.
    Bad thoughts or a bad atmosphere can ruin a day more than others.

    That being not only ruining you day but TG08 by me causing this issue here.

    Your friend and supporting member of this community.
    Lee/ TSLP✌

    Thank you. I was just about in control, and why I close down early. I was up late and had a long day.
    It’s no excuse but I am responding to this as you praised me for walking away.

    It was a learning curve for me, personal stuff. And a coping mechanism. I have to walk away.
    This is why I mentioned about waking away and not returning. If I feel there will be conflict then I will close off and walk away.

    I believe the world is full of stupid arguments and so why add to them.
    A massive goal and dream of mine is to make the world a better place not an ugly one.
    For others because if the world is a better place then maybe I will walk in the sun one day.

    Until then I will try all I can when I’m not adding to the ugliness of this world.

    Sorry TG08, I will leave it at that.

    And thank you aeronautic237.
    Your friend.
    Lee✌

    Very nice. It's a shame we don't have the Class 222 Meridians as your livery on one of those would look great

    Hello all, I'm here to announce my next scenario from my Creators Club Roadmap, Depot Tour on Boston Sprinter :).

    A bit of backstory before this one:

    *This scenario is a trial scenario of sorts, and the purpose is to determine whether you all like scenarios where you have to change ends at least once.*


    THE SCENARIO:


    Scenario Name: Depot Tour
    Route: Boston Sprinter
    Train: Amtrak ACS-64/Amfleet Cab Car
    Route covered: Boston South to Boston South via Southampton Street Yard (two return trips)
    Duration: 40mins
    Difficulty: 1
    Scenario Storyline: Amtrak are running a free shuttle service for the public from Boston South to Southampton Street Yard, where they can learn facts about the fleet and the history behind the yard being there.


    Anyway, WIP shots await...

    Here is our service awaiting departure from Boston South, for the first (but not only) time today... :o


    [​IMG]


    Coming into our turnaround siding at Southampton Street Yard after the short run from Boston South. Nice reflection on the tracks by the way! :love:


    [​IMG]


    You cannot get back to Boston South without an old favourite from the days of NEC: New York (remember that route?), the Amfleet Cab Car :)...

    "A second time? Are you having a laugh? What is there to see that you didn't see the first time?" :D


    Scenario Link: Creators Club - (TG08) Depot Tour (ACS-64)


    I hope you are all looking forward to this release. I've been TG08 as usual, and I'll see you next time for another CC release announcement. Until then, it's goodbye from me :).

    Really happy to have new scenarios on the NEC. Thank you, I’m very excited for it to become available. Haha... indeed very funny! Especially since there’s no power loss on the locomotive with its headlights on.

    Great work as usual but where is my F59HPR in the Union Pacific livery or the Up Railroad experience lol.
    I need the passenger cars first tho;)

    Would a tour or a US rail experience on different US routes be of value?. A Passenger experience say on Cain Creek.
    I’d make it myself but I can’t do scenarios as you know and why your part of R200 Projects:)

    So yes as a community member I’d like to see that if you could make it happen.
    Especially if you are focusing on routes like you are currently.

    I mean I see one member already appraising the theme of the scenario so is US routes a way forward for future scenarios.

    TSLP✌

    I do not have those respective DLCs, and don't plan on getting them in the near future (if at all). To be completely honest with you, I have my own schedule already, so I already have plans for upcoming content in the coming months (i.e. the rest of the year) :). (not trying to sound rude at all).

    You see, I do a whole variety of routes and countries, so themes i.e. just US routes, wouldn't appraise my fanbase at all. I'm happy with having a good mix of content from a whole host of different routes and the countries that they represent. That's why I do a Creators Club Roadmap at the end of the day ;).

    TG08 :).

    What a shame, I didn’t own WCML yet I bought it because you was doing the scenarios, and so I can do work for fans. Sorry to hear that as a fan you couldn’t slot one in.
    Hey ho.

    I wont ask again, if you have a road map.

    Me✌.

    Yeah, I don’t own as much US content compared to other countries. Still, it would've been a great idea regardless :).

    No need to apologise, it's just how the situation has played out on this occasion. However, getting WCML OS means you can play 1Z01 (when it releases) ;).

    No no I get that, I don’t own many EU routes and why I’m am working with speedfreak. I bought WCML line for the scenario and I have to thank you for sticking with it. I will try clear the air a little better soon. But again I bought that route because I like it and more familiar with UK routes than EU. So when I seen you doing some recent US scenarios I thought doing a UP overland route excursion would be nice seeing we have part of the old routes with Antelope route. I gave up on reading up on it more.

    So again was seeing if it was something different or a route pardon the bun you could consider if you are doing a mixture or different themes for Rail Fans. No harm in asking your fans is there if they would like to see that. I am sure I can get the passenger cars made.
    Or again a way to be more engaging with your fans if you wanted to get someone else on board to do the stock to go with my F59.

    As a say tho it was just an idea or something to possibly consider. Yet if your hands are busy with the R200 project then again I fully understand.

    I’ll be making formations soon so if I do make them can other users be able to use for their own scenarios?. And what does tuning the Ai do for the end user. Is leaving it on better or off?. I know what it does on my end but not sure of the implications for the end user experience.
    Could you advise me on my question please?.

    Catch ya later TG08.

    TSLP✌.

    You would have to upload the formation onto CC in order for other users to use the formation in their own scenarios.

    In regards to turning AI usage on and off, I guess you are referring to liveries? If you turn AI usage off (Inactive) like I do, it'll mean it wouldn't spawn on any AI trains, which would improve performance in general (especially on routes like WCML South and Kinzigtalbahn). However, the opposite effect happens if you leave the AI usage on (Active).

    Hope this helps,
    TG08 :).

    Yes this really helps as I know some of my liveries have 9000 decals. This will slow the system down, freezing or have missing cars etc.
    So I have now (Edit) started to turn the Ai to off, inactive for my own sake and now others.

    I just wanted to clarify that so yes bang on mate cheers for that.

    Good evening all, TG08 here, it's that time of month again... It's teaser time!

    I have made the sixth (and final ever) 'Railfan' scenario but the reveal will come in the CC Roadmap next week.

    Here's some clues as to where it is:

    - It is in the state of New Jersey,
    - Amtrak stop here,
    - The city shares it's name with a town in England on the ECML,
    - It shares something similar in it's name to New York's main station.

    TIP: Consider all of the clues before making a guess!

    Guess away folks! I imagine you will get it pretty quickly but will you be correct or not? All will be revealed in the CC Roadmap...

    It's been a pleasure to make these 'Railfan' scenarios throughout 2025. Unfortunately they weren't as well received as I'd hoped for, but you have to put up with it regardless of the outcome. So thank you to every single one of you who have either downloaded them from CC, or got involved with the guessing game of where the location is :cool:.

    Anyway, I'm TrainGeek08 as always, enjoy the rest of your day, and I'll see you for the next announcement, until then, it's goodbye :).

    Hey, reading on is this truly your last one?.

    And I’m going to take a wild guess and say Penn Newark.
    It’s in Jersey or state of.
    Amtrak call in.
    Newark on Trent.
    then New York Penn Station.

    Am I close?

    And again reading thought your comment it sounds like your packing in.
    Yet I know you didn’t like discussing to much openly so again I will try get us together again.
    I’m a little worried for MM too.

    Yet before I go I will ask you these questions. What do you think was the issue or issues that have resulted in this becoming such a problem you have taken the decision to end them. And or It’s something in your control that could be changed or not? For what ever the case maybe, it’s a shame Railfan is ending as you did work hard on them. Sad news I guess.

    But you know what they say, as one door closes another door opens;)

    Chin up a, you can’t win them all.

    TSLP✌.

    *For everyone: The below answers are me being transparent about the idea of the Railfan scenarios, and how I feel about them. It may sound negative, but it's me being completely/utterly honest.* (just a quick warning)

    What do you think was the issue (or issues) that have resulted in this becoming such a problem that you have taken the decision to end them?

    There could be multiple factors in this case. However, the one that has fuelled my decision the most, is the lack of downloads on Creators Club, especially when being compared to my liveries and scenarios (my regular content). It shows that maybe they (Railfan scenarios) are something that my fanbase don't enjoy as much. I'd rather create content that people will enjoy and use more often i.e. liveries, than a scenario where you stand at a station watching trains go by. That is something you can do in timetable mode for example.


    Is it something within your control that could be changed or not?

    No. I've done the best I could in promoting it, but the whole idea clearly doesn't suit what I do best. Making scenarios where you drive the train, not stand about and watch them go by. However, I've said many a time that the concept was a trial. And the results have showed (except Carlisle)... less than 50 subscribers each. I'd rather use my resources on doing things my fanbase enjoy, compared to something that they won't.


    On a slightly more positive note, I won't tell you if your guess is correct until the CC Roadmap releases next week. You'll have to read it to find out I suppose :).

    TG08 :).

    Hey you know me I appreciate honesty, also in a public domain because it’s us the Human behind the show.
    Having my pros and cons shows I am Human and so hopefully people can relate to that.

    You’re only explaining the Human side of all this. Because you are a Human not a Super Computer:)
    Yet if you set you mind back a few months now then we had a conversation about what else is out of our control are is it?.

    I tell you why,,,my son set up a TSLP account on Tic Tok. Now he shown me this a year ago or so have totally forgotten about it.
    Obviously I wasn’t so pleased and guess I’d need to short it out. But last time I looked it had thousands and mean loads of likes and hundreds and hundreds of comments. Which told me for my work to gain more attention then you will not get that attention here.

    Again going back to what I said about that click that promote each other on YT. If they are seen on a wider scale then work would be checked out and so will you. That’s your channel audience who follow you and you talk to be on Discord or something.
    Look at is as advertising yourself. Or selling a product. You have to be out there to be seen, or get you product to many customers or sellers as you can. YT call them fans but I know a few YT and we’re not fans just punters raising their channel for money purposes.

    But if you’re not into promoting your channel as it’s more to do with work on here or on CC. Getting it seen from more than one place will probably help rescue Railfan Scenarios. The issue is now people on here. Yet Tic Tok or YT then the world is your oyster.
    Younger generations will not come here, it’s not fast or visually engaging. So you missing out on a massive audience.

    It’s been the same for me, as again I have been wanting a YT channel for ages. I could get one made but am I happy with what I have got, and if so why open a YT channel. That’s my choice as is your if you wanted to try save this.
    If it’s something you haven’t tried or an avenue you have exhausted then did you try everything?.

    I know you can hold your own tho and you will probably stick to your decision. But again it’s what started all this off, and I could say if nothing is working on here for Rail 200 then should I open or we use 3 open a YT channel. You show and discuss you work and we do the same with ours, even mix it up with how to do tutorials for scenarios and for liveries.

    If it’s something you or I haven’t tried then is worth us moving with the times?.
    It’s dead here and you and I know it.

    Look at LazerJet and what he does, the work we do is far superior yet we have 2 likes and he’s laughing all the way to the Bank.
    Think about it because I am.

    Depends what you want as with me, if you feel it would serve a purpose then why not a:)

    You or I can only try be independent or as a group making a YT channel.

    This is me being Human and Transparent. Trying to be a good friend and think about this seriously as I feel your wasted on here so am I.
    Tic Tok shown me that. Time to move or get left behind by standing still and doing nothing.

    Times change and if we want to remain relevant then we must keep up with the times. Or lead the way.

    Your call at the end of the day, I can only pass my opinion.

    Thanks TG08.
    TSLP✌

    Hey we wouldn’t just expect that, and to be fair you would be supporting by help us reach our goals.
    So for meetings and to save on to many at the table I’d keep that as 3 anyway. But I will always listen and support you, if we feel it would be a benefit to the group and project I see now harm in helping with ideas and direction.

    It’s sounds serious that only due to what’s involved. Don’t mean we all can’t have some fun along the way.

    Stick around if you can just incase we need to hear about your credentials.

    Ok, gotta dash be late for my own meeting.

    Rigsby.

    I don’t mean like I don’t want to be part of the team, it’s just i will produce content as a sort of like to help out with producing content for the whole event idea, like you, TG08 and Jplayz are the main developers, but I sorta work on extra stuff if you can understand. Respond whenever you want to, don’t want you to be late for your own meeting!

    Okay that’s absolutely fine and more than happy to work in under these conditions. I was gonna say still mid meeting but it’s good news mate.

    So it will either be me or TG08 that contacts you soon. In the meantime could you possibly let us know what DLCs you currently own.
    This is so we can discuss a task or livery to do. Again we will discuss the fineries later on.

    Thank you for this Tom.
    Rigsby and the R200 Team.

    Enjoy the rest of your evening and have a wonderful weekend.
