Yes, it does seem to have extraordinary acceleration for a diesel powered train. I start the train in notch 6, which is probably wrong, but it...

Ironically of course, the Metra service from Chicago to Aurora ( Racetrack ), is operated by BNSF crews under a POS agreement. And BNSF owns the...

It seems to me that DTG are pretty much ignoring the " Suggestions " sub- forum these days. Just going with the easy stuff, A- B, one train,...

And a Midwestern thing.

On commuter trains they go hand- in- hand with the bell when approaching and leaving a station stop.

Exactly my feeling too. At less than $30, it ought to be a certainty, but I can't unsee the apparent post- apocalyptic Piccadilly and the rather...

Yes indeed, as they were 20+ years ago on MSTS.

Maybe SHG could add in Yankee Stadium to this route since DTG chose to leave it out of Harlem.

Been talked about for years, never implemented. Usually comes up when someone loses his/her profile progress.

Of course. Harken back to MSTS where you had multiple saves and could even choose from several save points from the same scenario to return to....

Have to agree with that. I drove a 158 service last night, missed some speed limit drops, overran a couple of stops and still scored " gold "....

Well, the landscapes are what they are. DTG can't change the scenery, only make it as accurate as possible. I imagine most train and bus journeys...

I agree that gameplay is the priority, the route needs some MGR and other power station freight activity. And the 158 dmu is a much better...

I don't think LIRR needs to be made over from scratch. It can be rebuilt or overhauled, maybe in a similar way to SEHS, with additional rolling...

Enabling this feature has been discussed on the forum for several years. It usually comes up when someone loses their profile data. But nothing...

An astonishing and inspiring story!

No. But, as others have said, I would if it were tweaked to be more realistic.

Something that's sorely needed. I took my first run on the 158 yesterday. It's an easy train to drive, too easy in fact. But a pleasant drive...

Yes, but mitigated by a 10% pre-order?? and an unusually low price.

Raildriver demonstration coming up on RFTV next Thursday. Didn't indicate which route(s).

I agree, but it's no more of a graveyard than BNS, Glasgow, Edinburgh, GCT or Penn. I can't think of a single TSW terminus that reflects real...

Jane, you have the patience and forbearance of a saint. I'm calling Rome.

Compared to the current practice of offering routes with just one train, usually a push and run cracker box ( emu ), the early routes for TSWx,...

As I promised myself, I picked up MML on " patch day ". Looking forward to giving it a good workout tomorrow. Pleasant surprise: bought the...

I think we would be naive to think that a new owner of a company would not have influence over production, pricing and personnel policies with its...

You nailed it pal. Excellent post.

Yes, different manufacturer but with similar mechanical gearbox. I find the 101 fun to drive, using a Raildriver. More finicky with a keyboard,...

What we really need to hear is that the patches and updates mentioned have imminent release dates. Preferable to any new route announcements....

I'm sorry, but, while I'm very impressed, as are most of us, with the apparently huge effort that they have made to bring MML up to scratch, this...

I agree. If DTG are going to celebrate a milestone for a loco, they need to offer something meaningful, like a scenario pack covering the routes...

If you're talking TSW3, then I'd go with Barstow ( around 1 sqm ) Other than that, biggest is Bailey in North Platte, Nebraska. ( 5 sqm )

This thread has really gone down the toilet! Time to flush it away??

However, the Metra logo was quickly restored by modders in The Racetrack. That would be difficult, though not impossible, in TSW.

I'm happy to have a large ocean separating me from this rekindled cultural, olfactory and culinary conflict between two of our former rivals....

Ah, the " Ghost Horn of Sand Patch Grade " has returned. It was reported a few years ago with the SD40-2 on SPG. The horn would remain blaring,...

I was thinking the same thing, probably with recycled Gevo and SD40-2. It's one of my favorites from TSC.

They really need to announce the imminent release of a bunch of patches and updates, not just for MML ( done by SHG anyway), but for...

Well, I hope the increased sales for the " new version " make it less of a " labor of love. " My finger is on the buy button the moment the...

Excellent news!! I usually hit the save button every 10-15 minutes, but this was a reliable failsafe in case I forgot and ran a red or jumped a...

And yet once in a while someone steps up and does something really creative and challenging with scenarios. Clinchfield comes to mind, though that...

Oh Riiight. I really should check the drawer for those sharper knives. :D

Ooh are there really 10,000. That many eh? I've only counted 18 so far. Guess I'm not reading the forum as thoroughly as I should. Oh, and only...

There were probably some Pennsylvania, NYC and Milwaukee Road steamers that were quite capable of going above 126mph and likely did on level track...

Just ran that scenario again. After closing the doors there is no further objective, but there is a red signal indication. I just drove on towards...

Yes, I think I remember that too. But as I recall I just carried on driving from the station and the instruction about the fallen tree eventually...

Oh dear!! It looks like all the posters with honest/constructive opinions and decent spelling and grammar are about to be swallowed up by the "...

Lots of us have completed this scenario. It's really not that difficult to figure out. After all, the solution is in the title. A little gumption...

The more Jane posts about this update, the closer we become to a pack of Pavlov's dogs. :D:D

Yes, haven't been over to London in a while, but that's how I remember it - a full circle. I'm curious though, was it bi- directional and how much...
