Other than TSG ( and due credit to them ), there is no indication that anyone, including DTG, is planning on revisiting steam. DTG have stated...

While we're on the subject of night lighting, I will compliment Rivet on the lighting for Berninalinie. No problems driving at night on that route.

I certainly hope you're right. Maybe we'll hear something on the subject of night lighting from one of the team at some point. And maybe, for a...

Yes, you're right. Some of the earliest TSW routes, like SPG, GWE, DRE and even later efforts like BPE and ECML have adequate night lighting....

Well I have to disagree with you guys. I don't know how much you've driven the route, but in my opinion, it easily beats out most of the other US...

Yes, that was a tough vote for me. I still like BPE, especially now it has the HSP 46. But GWE, even the original, is also a favorite because of...

We just don't have enough routes to really compete. Only Morristown is newish. LIRR still has an outside chance to make the semis at least.

Some very tough choices here! I wonder. Are people voting for GWE as it is or as they anticipate it will be?

Well, trying to steer this thread back on topic. Things do seem to be shaping up very nicely for 2026. Medway, as I've said, is not my favorite...

Et a toi aussi.

Well, contrary to my earlier post, I'm thinking about getting Berninalinie. At 70% off it might be a relaxing drive for Christmas morning ( you...

I wish I were clever enough to make one of those illustrations, but as I'm not I'll just wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Agreed. If DTG are going to offer a seasonal gift to players, it should be something that everyone can enjoy. They certainly know that most of...

I agree. PC player too. Whenever they do this, it's always something most or many of us already own. They must realize this. For most of us it's...

This for sure. A commercial entity is always going to follow the money. Subscriptions ensure a steady revenue stream, avoiding the ups and downs...

Well, I would consider the word " moaning " to be derogatory, considering how and how often you use it. Hard to figure out what you would...

It seems the only real contest is between SPG and CRR. Pity there are two Passenger vs Freight but I guess that's how the cookie crumbles. ;)

Subscription?? Absolutely not. First of all it would be a gold mine for the publisher. They're making enough money as it is at the prices...

Why not ask the people I quoted? As for " white knighting " I edited it out. Don't want to be unkind at Christmas time.

On the contrary. I'm quite pleased with the menu for the coming year ( if it all comes to fruition ) But I'm not happy with DTG's performance as...

I hope, for a change, it's one I don't already own!

Well it's just one steam engine on an electrified line in Germany. There nothing in the Roadmap about steam making a triumphant return to the UK...

It is. Unhealthy at the very least.

If you're getting in a tizzy about whether a video game will be cancelled or not, it's maybe time to have a serious talk with yourself.

Yes, if everything pans out the way it looks on the Roadmap, there's lots of intriguing routes and trains to look forward to in the next year....

Agree. Nothing in this sale loosens my Steam wallet. Better things to come I hope.

Baaaaa! :D

Well done Winzarten. But forgive me for waiting until Vern and others have shaken this out and shown me that it works without issues.

I could poke so many holes in that statement, it would be like a slice of Swiss cheese. :D

Not necessarily. The save game and passenger behavior, for example, are apparently not fixed because they are low priority, not because they are...

I'll make a bold prediction. DTG have known for some time that Unreal Engine is not the future for the new train sim they are planning. They are...

No it's not, it's premature, because there simply aren't enough 3P's producing quality add- ons, especially for North America but also for the UK...

I think we have to get used to this. Their focus has probably shifted to ventures like " Metro Rivals " and other projects not yet announced,...

Sounds like TSG did indeed " mess with the core ".

Where do you read " with participation from DTG "? Boost them all you want, but in the absence of any prior statements from DTG that they were...

Yes, there's something rather disingenuous about DTG touting the return of steam since they have abandoned it themselves. It's rather like my...

The JT route to the Cumbrian Coast is the standout here for me. Something far from London ( in UK terms ) and a new 1st generation DMU. ( almost...

Oh I'm pretty certain this will be the case. I'm holding out for some CSX freight, but that's even doubtful.

Sand Patch Grade doing so well again speaks volumes compared to all other US freight routes. DTG and its partners just couldn't maintain the...

Don't understand the " not fitting into platforms ". Trains wouldn't need to be wider, if that's what you mean. Also did you read where I said...

All those who defend the tiny aperture windshields are simply guilty of rationalization. I'm certain drivers would always prefer a full cab view...

Typical of TSW routes to omit freight. New York- Trenton would have been much better with the freight component left in. I wonder if this will be...

Nothing until February? Makes for a rather dull holiday!

You're right. Something like a 423 would have a similar aperture. But somehow they were more engaging. Maybe it was the sound.

The thing about electrostars is not so much the toy train itself, but the tunnel vision of the driver. How you can drive safely with that tiny...

Well, as I said above, even though it's not my era and not my favorite traction, I'm warming to this route, mainly because I imagine the quality...

People have an inalienable right to criticise developers' content choices. " Bashing " is your word. Sounds like you're " bashing " ECML...

Ah, there's a good idea. Ill be able to use my peripheral vision then. ;) The mention of freight always brings a gleam to my eye. I'm starting...

Well, I count about 14 stops in 26 miles. It's kinda the definition of a " bus stop " route. But that term is descriptive rather than a...

Fair enough. I guess it's not up to 3P's to break the modern mold. It's up to DTG to set the expectations. JT has a long and established pedigree...
