The Amtrak units have had some teething problems adjusting to the variety of climate and track conditions here, but you see more and more leading...

I'm open to ideas! Glasgow or Edinburgh?

Thanks for the tips and the well-wishes! I just reached Level 3 and was able to pick my College. I ended up going with Lore as I want to lean...

Awesome photos! The IoW is pretty high up on the list of places my wife and I want to visit when we travel to the UK in the next few years. We're...

I played through the training scenarios, and from what I've seen it looks alright. My only real gripe with it is that it docks your score for cab...

My bad, I typed it from memory and forgot it didn't use the hyphen. All fixed!

Fair write-up, but DTG have been pretty adamant about no NYC subway routes. Further complicating it would be having to develop a route based...

Good suggestion!

Steam: GWR Panniers Diesel: Most of the Western Region units, Class 31's and 33's Electric: Southern Region EMU's, Class 304/504 EMU, Class 73,...

I agree with you Vern. Some red Panniers would be nice too (not that it'll ever happen! lol).

I honestly think a shorter steam railway with smaller tank engines would have been a better introduction to steam for most players, rather than...

I love that paint scheme on pretty much anything lol. If Hornby ever does another run of Sentinels with one in that scheme it'd be an instant buy...

I did a write up on it about a year ago. I think it would be a good fit....

While a little dated by now, check out the World of Subways series for PC. They've done both the PATH system and the 7.

My latest nostalgia haul. Slowly but surely I'm getting my list knocked down. [img] In a couple months I'll get the first of two 9V trains on my...

Good news, Chris! I got an e-mail from the Society this morning that they were able to find a bunch of the MSTS CD's in storage. I'll drop you a...

I used to have the invincibility cheat memorized back in the day lol

If I'm still slinging tractor parts at 82 I've done something seriously wrong lol

I played this game so much when I was younger, when I had my PS2. Some of the missions were fun, some annoying, but I honestly had the most fun...

I just finished my first self-designed MOC builds this evening. Well, sort of self-designed. They are re-colored and slightly modernized versions...

I received my first Irish locomotive yesterday, a OO CIE Class 181 made by Murphy Models. This is also my first model produced by Murphy and...

Ours aren't much better for visibility. I've had the opportunity to sit in the cabs of a few Metro-North EMU's over the years and they're ok but...

...back in my day we had to walk to school, uphill both ways, in two feet of snow, with no shoes... lol

I haven't heard back from my contact, but doing some more research on my own it seems like dust and other small metallic debris appear to be the...

No quarrel, I think most of the BR-era diesels and 90% of the steam are prettier than what we were fielding here. We had some hits during the art...

The Danbury Railway Museum in Connecticut has received AEM-7 # 917 for preservation. [MEDIA]

They're the ones who put it out. Ultimately freight got cancelled because of the complexities of the timetabling and cab signalling issues involved.

I don't hate NY - Trenton, it just has some bugs that need fixing (despite being reported ad nauseam). Overall it's a decent route if you can look...

I agree on the older "System" sets (hence why I collect them lol), they just had way more personality in my opinion. I think a lot of it has to do...

So I looked through the FRA's public documentation and it looks like the safety glasses rule are on a railroad by railroad basis. I tried to find...

Amtrak not so much, but the commuter railroads usually have some form of dress code. At a minimum, boots and safety glasses are required across...

The Artemis looked huge in the promo photos. Certainly looks like quite the involved build, but fun nonetheless. I've been on the fence on the...

My latest additions... [img]

While I don't disagree with your suggestion (although I'd like to note that Amtrak is the only operator of P42's), this has been suggested several...

Most train shows I've been to have had manuals for sale, I even bought a GP35 manual from a member of another forum I belong to. I've also found...

ATC, ACSES, PTC, and Metro-North's cab signalling are all mainstays on this route

This sounds pretty much like a copy/paste of the TSC route, which is some of the most fantastic content for the game (especially with all...

I've ridden them a few times across various DC trips. They had personality but were for sure getting pretty long in the tooth.

Almost looks like something JR would run lol

Eh, I'm over it. Some people just like to make noise simply for the sake of hearing themselves. If that's how they would like to carry on then...

Exactly, do you? Or are we just an armchair critic?

I hate to break it to you, but according to official data, the UK sees more rail related injuries and death than the US. The latest data for each...

The wide cab designs are literally called "safety cabs". The Federal Railroad Administration has some of the strictest rules and regulations in...

The latest haul. I also have some parts coming from Lego's Pick-a-Brick service for some scenery item MOCs that I'm looking forward to share with...

The last of the scenery items (for now) on my list. Just track left to order now! [img]

A very lucky BNSF crew in Nebraska survived a close call with a tornado this past Friday. Here's the report from Jalopnik......

Each sim has their own functions for them. Here's a link to the templates for each... http://raildriver.com/assets/documents/legends/rd.legends.pdf

I always liked the look of the 319's, I'm glad to see they're being re-purposed

I got some free time this week and made a layout blueprint using the free Blue Brick software. As far as layouts go it's a simple one, albeit...
