Down the road I wouldn't mind these, but I would like to see them tackle the P42 and P32 first while they are still in active service
Remember when creators started animating the doors on trains to operate with the pantograph "P" key towards the end? That blew my mind back in my...
The passenger behavior in general needs an overhaul, especially with bringing trains in and out of service. I really don't like when you have to...
Nothing else modern for me for steam (or other train sims in general) I'm afraid, aside from TSC and MSTS/OR. The others out there just don't...
No worries, I've kind of given up on that one anyways due to its obscurity lol. You're a better man than I for ditching your old MSTS discs Vern,...
Did you happen to have any of the old UKTrainsim online ordering CD's in that pile of discs? I've been trying to hunt down the SVR Diesel Gala CD...
Great write-up Mevans, I think this would make an excellent addition to the game, especially with preserved examples (non-running) being...
I use an Xbox controller for flight sim and don't have any issues, but I'm also more of a casual player and expect an 'arcade' experience to ooh...
They're available as freeware for MSTS/OpenRails, but they're older models and not up to current standards. You'll need to sign up for a free...
Latest pre-order release, the Atlas NJT commuter train pack with ALP dual mode locomotive and three multilevel cars. I'm pretty impressed with the...
Sounds like you dodged a huge bullet. My wife usually just reads while I play, and mocks the AWS chimes by saying "DING!" after every ramp I pass...
I saved this one in my Xbox wish list to buy at a later date and/or on sale. I usually gobble up most DLC, but at $40 for a route with no new...
IC Swallow is one of my favorite paint schemes, this would be a definite buy for me
I'm not quite that far downstate, closer to Albany, but we're in the Hudson River Valley between the Catskill and Berkshire mountain ranges which...
I hope all my brothers and sisters across the pond are staying safe and comfortable. I read an article yesterday that the high winds you're...
Ok, that checks out and shows DTG still haven't adjusted the brightness intensity. Here's an example from a cousin of the F40, the CF7 [skip to...
Bogies have always been a rotten PIA for me as well, I usually just shade in like crazy where they go and hope no one cares enough lol.
390 would be cool
Great write-up! I could totally see this being a Just Trains project, and seeing them execute it very well!
Looks good! You've done a good job recreating some pretty awkward curvature.
That's true to an extent, but I've found the brightness of the headlights on the F40 in this DLC to be a bit exaggerated. [MEDIA] That said,...
Ditto, I'm just wrapping up all 29 of the Southeastern High Speed scenarios and I'm starting to get bored with the modern stock.
Option B is my preferred, but honestly I'd take either if we got some slam-door Southern EMU stock.
I have not with TSW, but as a frequent user of them, the northeastern US passenger trains that are simulated are usually on point visually. The...
Welcome to my world lol. At this point I'd thrilled to have shelves just to look at my damn trains! My wife and I are meeting with a potential...
Not that I'm aware of. Due to the intricate and precise nature of track planning I'm not quite sure how well it would translate to mobile.
My latest nostalgia buys [img]
I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! A quick suggestion, you may want to look into a program like AnyRail for track planning. I used it...
For North American trains I cannot praise Rapido enough. Their models are a little on the pricey side, but their build quality and attention to...

Good point on the GWR tanks, although my bank account would still argue the point lol. I actually just finished reading David Maidment's Great...
I wouldn't be surprised if I was somewhere on the spectrum, I think a good portion of the population is without even realizing it or acknowledging...
I've got a couple aunts in the Santa Rosa area and they're still pretty shaken up from the last fires they had up that way. I'm honestly surprised...
Thomas for sure. I had a huge collection of the Ertl die-cast trains at one point, and used to watch my VHS tapes of the episodes narrated by...
Beautiful!
The Railjet looks amazing!
In the US, train crews will call out signal aspects, and some will radio in their location and signal indications at major interlockings and CP's...
I've mentioned this before over the years, but I think it's worth stating again. I think DTG were wrong to dive in with both feet on full-sized...
I've seen this happen to quite a few streamers I watch on YouTube, and yeah, it's total BS. I would personally try disputing the claim through...
There weren't many terribly enticing Christmas deals for model train supplies this year, but I did end up ordering a few packs of various length...
Took advantage of Clone Army Customs Christmas and New Year Sale and grabbed some more troopers for my collection. This is probably it for...
While definitely nowhere near the standard of quality of your work FreddieTheShepherd , I thought that you would find this interesting. It's a...
Yes, and then promptly set the tree on fire lol
I've used Rebrickable a few times for some Star Wars MOC's (scroll up, they should be up towards the top), and it's certainly a learning...
As Blacknred noted, it's an automated system, so I don't see a ton of play value here. What I would like, however, would be for a remastered...
If we were to get this route in the historical era, it would most likely end up resembling the TSC rendition. The electric motors wouldn't really...
Happy New Year from New York! May everyone have a peaceful and prosperous 2025!
I've never driven a steam locomotive, but I've been in the cab of a couple, most recently the Valley Railroad's #3025. [img] [img] That said,...
I think whoever was in charge that day was secretly working for Apple. Next update we lose our ability to right-click lol.
A couple more pre-orders showed up, this time from Atlas. Both variants of the same platform, an Amtrak Dash-8, and a P&W Dash-8. Sorry for the...
