The Chicago to Milwaukee run has a loco on each end.
Tragic news: The westbound Amtrak Empire Builder that left Chicago on Friday derailed Saturday afternoon in remote Montana. Three casualties and...
(PS4) I've been getting this with Sand Patch, but Sony released the 9.00 system software update a few days ago and I haven't updated, so I'm...
Well, it should have a fan/participant base that may be small, but is dedicated enough to be counted on for purchases. It should also be...
That was over 20 years ago, so no worries there. :D
...for working the brakes to maintain a safe coupling speed while reversing down an incline: brakedancing.
1) When doing yard work, I often have to stop anyway at "go via" points as I'm not able to set upcoming switches appropriately until the next...
Ah, thanks for the info.
Afraid I'm not familiar with that aspect at all. Are BNSF the Disney of trains?
Found an archive of vintage Chicago Union Station pics, and included was this amazing locomotive that looks like something out of a retro science...
Chicago Union Station from the outside, inside, and trackside. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here in Chicago, two north suburban CTA lines used to have overhead wires, but those were eventually replaced with third rails for reliability...
Went into the Livery Designer for the first time tonight to have a look. To try out the workings, I decided to draft an appropriate livery for...
Haven't touched TSW since just before the upgrade, but things seem to be calming down, so I decided to give it a try. PS4 Slim, TSW2 CE plus TSW...
Not just random people on the street, but celebrities on camera. Here's Drew Carey in a classic Whose Line Is It Anyway moment. [MEDIA] So...
True enough. As they've shown since they got the Star Wars game license, EA aims to displease millions of gamers at a time.
Just want to say that you popping in on your weekend to offer what updates and input you can is appreciated, thank you.
Ah, music, games, and videos. What more do you need? Well, I suppose love is nice too, but in the meantime... Funny you should mention...
Thanks much for stepping in on your weekend, Sam.
Nothing was going to prevent that. The angry mob is all about yelling, not listening. That's why we have numerous redundant threads containing...
I was under the impression that this is why the initial update was moved from Tuesday to Thursday, so the game wouldn't be down for two days...
Just watched the current challenge. I'd like to say right off that I think this was a wonderful idea and enjoy these videos very much. I...
Not familiar at all with German routes, but I'd vote for anything that uses the Hannover-Kassel leg, as that goes closest to my grandmother's village.
Nice set of pictures, Krazy. Union Station and its yards would be a lot of work to set up properly, but then you have the starting point for a...
As happened here in Chicago a few years ago, trains can also take escalators. [ATTACH]
As a lifelong Chicagoan, I've been lamenting the lack of representation in TSW. We are the central train hub of the U.S., after all. I would...
All of which I prefer to buy physically as well. Oh, well. Analog guy in a digital world...
The problem with published physical strategy guides is that they are usually (always?) written from prerelease versions of their games, so there...
Thanks very much for an interesting conversation! Is that the way PC gaming is now? If you don't get a physical disk, you're pretty much locked...
1. I haven't done any real PC gaming in a very long time, so please excuse my ignorance. Looking at the Epic vs Steam store conversations...
I like this idea also, though I'd vote for an old-school handcar.
And also afterwards, for those of us with goldfish memory.
Thank you all kindly. It worked fine, though watching it happen was confusing: I bought TDSW2020 CE from the Playstation Store... ...but it...
I have a very enjoyable ride on the Surfliner every time I travel from Chicago to San Diego to visit my dad. I think it would be fun to drive. I...
Does this work the same way on PS4? I have the digital version of TSW2 from PSN, so if I then buy TSW2020 from PSN, will it automatically add...
Better safe than sorry.
Thanks as always for the responses! Unfortunately, I didn't think to mention that I was talking about journey mode, so I'm glad someone else...
1. How does one manage a gold medal in East Coastway run 2G55 (Hastings to Brighton via Eastbourne)? You're stopped by a red signal before the...
Oh, I'm sure. But you never know, maybe something like this would be easy enough to just toss in, if they like the idea.
Little thing that just occurred to me: When I blow my horn in greeting to an oncoming AI train, it would be cool if it honked back. Oh, and...
Thanks!
I've run the four passenger scenarios in East Coastway (and somehow got a trophy for doing five, even though I've only completed four). Now one...
Right on! [ATTACH]
Absolutely. The staffer(s?) in one of the streams even said something to the effect that we Americans like our locomotives big and loud, like...
Thanks, solicitr and Slemcer, for the responses!
I'll definitely be getting the Caltrain MP15DC for the MLK special run. Are there any other routes/locos people would recommend as having...
Ah, thanks. I think I'm the same; I guess my ideal would be long freight routes with easy commuter controls. Though I don't think I'd mind a...
Thanks very much for the replies (and the welcome). My only interest at this point is in seeing if I might enjoy driving trains as much as I...
I recently got the TSW2 Collector's Edition on sale from the PS store, have watched several YouTube streams, and am now looking at dipping into it...
