I just don't see US steam happening for the time being.
Slightly rebooted the thread with a watered down version of the Original Post.
So, we all know that DTG when they went on their research trip to LA for Antelope Valley, they spent time at the Amtrak yard getting research over...
Dovetail please delete this thread, I don't care anymore
Thanks I feel like LOVE now....
I think the Metrolink MP36 depends on which Bi Levels they decide to include with it. Thier older ones are not rebuilt and are probably pretty...
EDIT 3: I'm not gonna redo the entire thread cause I'm not in the mood to but in short..... 1. Add the UP SD70ACe as a default loco for the...
ET44s would need more development vs a regular Gevo, as they have slightly longer frames and a completely different long hood. There is also the...
I mean, isn't this route technically both? Urban from LA to Newhall Pass, then mostly rural from the tunnel to Antelope Valley...
While I do have my nitpicks with from what I've been reading thru on the TSC discord (LATC, Saugus Historic Depot, some scenery choices, freight)...
Yeah, I have some ideas I'll throw into a thread later tonight on how it should of been handled, even though it's moot at this point as nothing...
Yeah, not happy with how DTG chose to do things for this route, it could of been done better.. .
Im at work so I can't watch live.
Hell, honestly it probably wouldn't of been too much work to convert the BNSF ES44C4 to a UP ES44AC, at least then we would of had a UP loco with...
Honestly, maybe even added in the Maxi IVs as default stock for the route (Painted in the fake TTX colors) so that way we wouldn't need another...
If that's the case then that's disappointing, for a line that sees UP freight, we shouldn't need a route that is BNSF to activate the layers. US...
Yet the preview images show the mixing of both, which is why it's confusing.
TBTs SD70ACU was quietly released on the steam store.... https://store.steampowered.com/app/2288627/Train_Simulator_Norfolk_Southern_SD70ACU/
I'm confused on the layering. So it says BNSF from Cajon, unless you have Sherman Hill/Cane Creek, then UP will sub in. So if we have both...
More Milepost teasers. [ATTACH]
Externally (outside of various production and road specific changes such as the dynamic brake vents) the only difference between a AC44 and the...
Are the freight layers playable? If they still are, why are the freight layers BNSF and not UP, who actually run the line? Can this get changed...
Not really flooded, just traffic isn't what it was in the mid 2010's. Doesn't help that coal is on a downturn as well. Not to mention the influx...
All of Union Pacific's Dash 9's are mothballed at the moment, so you don't see them on the mainline anymore (Though 75 are getting rebuilt at some...
It would probably fall into the same category as the CSX SD40, ATSF F7, and BNSF SD70ACe.
By the way, if anyone on this forums is near Los Angeles this weekend, LA Union Station is having Train Fest this weekend, which includes displays...
If AP packs are gonna keep getting let thru like this and no one is calling them out before the contests end, then I don't see any point competing...
So, are we stuck with modern class 1's for the time being? Is there no chance of any fallen flags or older locomotives?
The only thing I know about the ore trains is that it is the former DM&I railroad, which the CN bought in 2004. [ATTACH] [MEDIA] Tracing the line...
I have no knowledge on the Pacific North West :|
You still have Winsow, Flagstaff and Williams, though the mainline doesn't go thru Williams direct (BNSF has a line that diverges and goes to...
Technically the Union Pacific Maryville Sub, would work but if DTG brings it to TSW, it would actually need effort put into it (The TSC one is...
Going back to the BNSF Southern Transcon.... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I'm not sure if the Seligman Sub would be viable due to length....
The Ventura East Station really isn't a branch, its just the station is located in the middle of a wye..... [ATTACH]
2 locos in game can already be reused for this era.... 1st off Santa Fe's SD40-2's could be used as filler locos, not the most exciting, but they...
Thats a terrible cutoff point for the route, for one thats 112 miles of mostly urban landscape that DTG would have to model, minus the 14 miles...
And how long have I harped on Metrolink never happening for TSW and now look where we are?
Technically they are in game on Horseshoe Curve..... If you go to the curve itself and look closely at the sign for the GP9.... [ATTACH] Note...
Maybe someone can persuade Metra for licensing.....
How about back dating pre-merger, late Santa Fe Era, with Superfleet Warbonnets? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes and no, UP 3985 was part of UP's steam heritage fleet till 2010, when it was sidelined with mechanical issues. It sat around the UP shops till...
The Iowa Traction Railroad says "Hi" (Though probably not feasible for a TSW route) [ATTACH] [MEDIA]
Not really a weird livery. The Freightliner Group is owned by the Genesee & Wyoming Inc, and any railroad that is owned by them eventually has...
The Surfliner equipment can sub for a short bit on Antelope Valley, but not enough for a full fledge Loco DLC. The Amtrak long distance...
Ok
So, at this point in TSW's life, we have some sort of representation of NA freight in TSW. However, at this point most of the routes seem to...
I think this is the bigger problem with trying to sell US freight lines in TSW, since 9-10 its just a Notch 8 slugfest with little to no challenge...
Pretty sure its been mentioned that DTG had a recording session with Union Pacific here in the states for Sherman Hill, that got canceled cause of...
Simple, if you don't want this thread to go on, just ask one of the forum moderators to lock it.
They dont learn, they been doing this for awhile now, just ignore it and let better suggestions rise to the top.
