I do like the casual gags in the margins. [ATTACH]
Not as long until my next walk as I thought. I finished three chapters of SKA journeys, saw how many more were in the fourth chapter (not a...
Ah, thanks for the clarification. I will continue to hope that someday I'll get to drive the Southwest Chief, Coast Starlight, and Empire Builder...
We have one of those, too! It's called the Music Box, and it has a built-in pipe organ and a well-regarded house organist who provides live...
Could be mistaken, but I thought route length was limited by available resources, as train length is.
So people on passing airplanes can hear it and hum along? I approve!
Seems like those ancient, giant church organs would be similar to modern U.S. freight locomotives in that they could put out sound that would...
I have never outgrown peanut butter & jelly (or sometimes honey) sandwiches. Can't imagine putting it in grilled cheese, though. What is good in...
Speaking as the thread originator, it's fine by me. Sometimes the side conversations become more interesting than the main topic. It may be a...
Walked SKA. Lots of floaters on this route, including several electrical cabinets and even someone's garage. I did like the hot air balloons and...
Still had enough in the Steam kitty from the last sale to get the BR 101. Plus Portal 2 for $1.99! Awesome bonus.
I'm set to running speed on foot. I think Matt said in a recent stream that foot speed was speeded up a bit because realistic speed was just too...
This makes me happy, because I've been wanting to dive into Peninsula but have been holding off until the (it seemed) imminent preservation pass...
A search for vintage railroad on YouTube turns up quite a bit. For example, the Steam Channel has this playlist:...
I see your point, OldVern, but like the others above, I just see it the same as the litter you'll find alongside the tracks--part of the...
Agreed. In period-appropriate dress, of course. I especially want to see them in the steam route with giant 1958 flash cams.
This is really impressive.
With only the one font, how do you do this kind of lettering? Adding shapes to make serifs? And 2400 layers? I thought the limit was 300.
I'll have to check that one out, as well as the 49ers beating Green Bay. Amazing that all four divisional games were won on the last play (the...
Yes, this was talked about by Matt in (I think) the Sherman Hill stream. He suggested ignoring the higher speed limit and staying to 30 mph when...
The BNSF license came out of nowhere and was something many people expected would never be doable. I expect there's always silent background work...
[ATTACH]
It's worth mentioning that this isn't an updated timetable but a second, separate timetable with an additional 408 services. Take a look at...
It's a good opportunity to go long or experiment. I had never listened to Led Zeppelin's entire catalog front to back before. It was fun hearing...
I got three. Did you look up top of the Steam client in your messages?
I couldn't really justify buying more after spending too much on the winter sale, but I still had enough left over in Steam to buy the 465 for $5.
I'm pretty much where you are. The load of new SKA services is very nice, and I'm bummed that no new services are added to Sand Patch but like...
That's a cool backstory. Also, one of the collectible hardhats is hidden on one of the caboose's steps, so it even pays to check them out. I...
While recovering from an attack of norovirus (very nasty, don't get it), I decided to finally try German high speed. Coming from a great deal of...
More than a couple, fewer than a lot. I'm afraid I wasn't watching the clock, so the music I listened to is the best ballpark I can give. I do...
It was a few hours over a few sessions. The LZ albums I mentioned are what I listened to while walking, so roughly the equivalent of 11 discs...
I decided to try out the Free Roam mode by walking the length of Sand Patch, both to see how many collectibles I could come across and also for...
I'm lucky to hit 2 hours in SPG in nice weather, except for the easy helper return runs.
I just did this one again the other day and got a score of 7600, which is the exact score needed for gold. Possibly speeding might be the issue...
conniethunder has compiled a pretty extensive list of manuals and guides:...
As long as SPG is being discussed, I've just finished replaying the journeys on PC (Steam), and noticed some sound issues. The windshield wiper...
I'm at a loss to think of something that better demonstrates the futility of trying to please everyone than people actually complaining that a...
Kudos to you for owning it, but don't sweat it too much. If only the worst mistake I made at work was missing a checkbox....
Just saw Joe's post in the other thread. Good to know!
Matt said in the stream that the real 612 has ten services. The timetable he showed has what looks to be a complete workday for it, with eight...
DTG has said that derails/crashes will never happen, period. The licensors don't want it and DTG doesn't want to do it.
I stand corrected--I've never played this service. I had assumed it was one of the many shunting services in the Journeys, but Y108 and Y109 are...
I just did this again the other day with no issues. I seem to remember another pair of locomotives sitting in the yard, but they weren't in my...
I've started doing that, too (though I don't always remember--ow). But I would also like the headphones themselves to last as long as possible;...
I kinda wish the opening cinematics would use the in-game volume settings so my ears don't get blasted on startup.
I got home from work about 15 minutes after the stream ended :(. Watched it and was successfully sold on the 363. I wish there was a...
Hear, hear! There's no doubt that the people doing the work are working hard, and it shows in the impressive complexity of the product. A thank...
Happy New Year to the DTG staff and community from Chicago! Well, in 5 1/2 hours. These are prediction-defying times, so I won't even bother,...
Cool! Gotta echo what others are saying about taking care of yourself, though. If you want to do a stream, because being sick is boring, then...
If there's something(s) that didn't make either top ten that you're especially fond of, play it and sell us on it.
Separate names with a comma.
