A single example in one Middle English poem from 1375 hardly counts as "has been since," especially with the weight of all English grammarians...

The Orient Express ran from Paris to Constantinople from 1889 to 1977, although from 1945 to 1962 the train itself only ran as far as Belgrade,...

Actually, adding the cost of replacing their drivetrains, Pacers wound up costing much the same as the far better Sprinters

So did the Trabant

Well we do, but "it" is rather insulting.

I'll take an astronomer over a meteorologist every time. They're wrong far less often.

Well, technically TGVs run in and out of St P every day (the Eurostars are TGVs). As for the demo dog-and-pony show: ithe TGV (a yellow TGV...

Even if the signaling and signage issues are fixed, I doubt anything will ever be done about the scenery. The best we can hope for is a genuine...

All the 141s, and the 142s and 143s until the 1990s, used the same automatic-shifting mechanical transmission as the Leyland bus they were based...

The current problem is simply that the one parameter, "under 30 minutes," doesn't work. Frequently it has dumped me into two-hour Cane Creek...

Not worth doing without licenses from MARC and SEPTA. Also, 3 major terminus stations is more than DTG would ever put in one route.

How about, for the US, the Hudson Valley Water Level Route? So-so with Amtrak, better as a vintage New York Central route, back when it was...

Jane is a dude [IMG]

AIUI, Mastery is Dovetail Live's department, not the route developer's.

Beat you to the leak? :cool:

The most important thing about the TC is not anything you can do there, but the fact that it serves as the "depot" for all new locos and rolling...

I often find myself searching about for 20-minute services (and the quick play routine is currently borked). So a short route would be welcome.

I'm not sure I agree with your initial premise. The sticker price is what the merchant wants for the item, and receives for it. What the...

Well, a single Pacer was tested by SEPTA, which was considering re-opening service on the unelectrified Fox Chase-Newtown branch. The test was...

That's why in the US, sales tax is in addition to the marked price. Many (especially European visitors) find it annoying, but it's a live...

Diesels aren't necessarily sluggish [MEDIA]

The original Class 141s, and the 142s and 3s as built, were diesel-mechanical; the latter classes were upgraded with Voith hydraulics in the...

The 420 is an S-Bahn train; it doesn't do REs or RBs. The Garmisch run is handled by 442s and (on weekends) ICE tourist trains.

I think I'd prefer Munich to Garmisch. (That's "Garmisch-Partenkirchen!" says an outraged local...)

So the hoses don't use anglebadwords? :cool: If the hoses don't have cutoffs, then naturally you don't want active vacuum (or steam) in them; I...

summer 2019 release: TSW 2020 (Main-Spessart, LIRR, Northern Trans-Pennine, Great Western, SPG (PC only)) Of course, this was a bundle of...

I much prefer the new UI, with two caveats: 1) The highlight color needs to be anything other than gray (By universal convention "grayed out"...

US: what about Saluda Mountain, the steepest sustained standard-gauge line in the world? Just recently closed, and being sold to make a hiking...

BNSF was a different problem. It wasn't that the company was averse, but rather that the US and international rights were owned by different arms...

For Germany, the eastern side of the Munich area with München Ost and the S-Bahn lines out to Freising and the airport- and (pretty please)...

It would be AWESOME if DTG released a route map with each route (modeled perhaps on the German Buchfahrplan). We have some very good ones made by...

I think the OP is discussing a different problem, which affects every train (except the 612), not just the American ones. In a nutshell, the...

Why is that a thing?

I'm pretty sure that SEHS only uses the SEHS 66 model, which means that you need liveries based on that specific model, not the GWE or ECW models.

You must really hate your NPC passengers

I think the simple answer is that they captured the GWML as it was at the time they did their research surveys, with videos and photos and so on-...

XBox One and X|S only run under 12; they can't handle 11.

The idea, I think, was to capture the last glory days of the HSTs as Queens of the Mainline before they were demoted to branch service.

jane-skyhook , we really, really, really appreciate your being here, together with all the progress updates and patient answers to questions! You...

Well, they did do linke Rheinstrecke. Not especially well, but they did it.

Probably. US headlights are blindingly bright, so it makes sense to dim them inside a terminal.

You mean, you can roll the dice on the save game function

One is the real 1C11, the other is Tom Cruise in a latex mask.

IIRC, BN had flashers generally, but ATSF practice prevailed after the merger

TWSS

That electrostar/bombardier/Hitachi rubbish may not be very exciting, but they're way better locos than first-gen UK diesels ever were.

Depends on the railroad. Speaking broadly, flashing ditch lights are an eastern US thing; in the west and Canada they stay steady (TSW doesn't...

Seconded; and that applies to freight routes as well. ALL modern Class 1s have PTC installed, and it's absurd that routes like Sherman Hill and...

IIRC, Matt said in some stream or other that BR Blue era routes simply didn't sell.
