Hate to burst your bubble, but P42's don't *typically* run into Penn. While they're generally prohibited from the tunnels, they can and do make...
There's a bit more involved with them than that. For one they're designed to run off the third rail whenever it's present, which is the...
The Chargers aren't even in service yet, and there's only two on property right now
I didn't think the TSC version of the Hudson was bad aside from the length and a couple of inaccuracies. It pretty much covered all the equipment...
As much as I appreciate everyone's love for the SW1000, I'd honestly rather see one of the newer Amtrak work engines like the GP15, or maybe a...
Close-ish, if you're on the Harlem River Lift Bridge and look south, on a clear day you can juuuuust see the Hell Gate. Other than that, it's...
Did you get your tickets for the New Haven Open House in October?
The ones branded CT Rail are the Shore Line East units owned wholly by the state, the ones with the state seal and Metro-North branding are under...
Okay, let me briefly summarize my argument then... DTG only have to model the P42 once. They do a West Coast Pack covering the routes on that...
I'm not buying that logic either. If Skyhook can do their freight packs with good scenarios for multiple routes in one DLC, then why can't DTG...
Technically CT DoT contracts the MTA to run Metro-North in CT. There's also a pool agreement with the equipment, which is why you see CT...
Very well-said, my friend!
Couple friendly corrections, Crystal... Like Killer said, the P42's on the NEC are far from every service aside from the Acela. You see them a...
I'm glad my past theories in the Suggestion Forum on the route going only as far as Stamford were proven correct. While I understand peoples'...
Will we get Arrow layers for the NY - Trenton DLC?
Haha on Amtrak we get "This train is going to be full! Please leave empty seats open and place your belongings in the overhead racks!" only to...
Same, games like Forza or NFS I always switch to an external and above camera I've had the same comments from instructors for the streetcars...
I'm *usually* not bad. Riding backwards, especially in a car, gets me more often than not, and reading a physical book or magazine in a car on...
I give you props... I've tried doing the same with my laptop a couple of times on the NEC now, and get so freaking motion sick...
Gotcha, I see what you mean now. It would probably have to be something from the IRT or BMT days, or even earlier, but even then I'm not sure how...
I see where you're coming from, Vern, but the BVE and Trainz content are freeware by individuals and very small creation groups. The MTA's got...
SIRT is run by the MTA, it's just physically segregated from the rest of the system

My latest fleet addition, a Metra F40PHM... [img] My pre-order list is thankfully getting shorter and shorter. Maybe someday we'll find a house...
Cane Creek... To quote Captain Shack from XPGamers, "I would rather watch paint... not paint dry, paint..."
Norfolk Southern unveiled their latest heritage unit, Delaware & Hudson #1080....
That's not what was said, the point being made was to compare the ridiculousness of the international equipment substitution being suggested by...
That's a hell of a deep cut, I live in the Northeast and even I forgot about that being a thing. The trolley museum near Bradley Airport used to...
Don't even get me started on the ads with Prime. I like to watch Vox Machina and Hazbin Hotel when I'm on the bike at the gym, and cannot stand...
I don't see why the LIRR trains wouldn't be able to, on paper they should. Loading gauges would probably be an issue, but the juice and third rail...
Nothing like a good hot box to catch your attention lol I was on an Amtrak Empire train a few years back that tripped a detector going up to...
The ACS can operate under the entirety of the electrified NEC, and technically under any AC-energized catenary energized with the same specs...
Put the idea in your head over in the Trainz thread, didn't I, Vern? lol I'd like to see this implemented (or re-implemented if it was on SPG; I...
Cover the airfare from New York and I'm there! dtg_jan if you fly in from Germany, I'll bring my dice and we can have a one-off session lol
Got my Rapido Cabbage off pre-order today, the detailing is amazing [img]
I found it on a Reddit rabbit hole one weekend while I was bored. It hasn't been narrowed down to any one person, but Marshall Field is the common...
That saying is actually incomplete, the full thing is "the customer is always right... in matter of taste". Somewhere along the line people have...
Those are ALC locomotives undergoing ACSES/cab signalling testing, not Airo units. While they are capable of operating on the NEC, they are not...
I forgot if it was TSW4 or TSW3/earlier, but there was at one point a quick toggle on consoles. If memory serves correctly, it was either up or...
I don't think DTG have the SEPTA license
Giving players the full release regardless of platform and letting them choose the layers is my ideal solution as well. That said, I don't think...
It's just the timetable and services, but we're not talking a minor reduction either. 400 less services than PC, and only use of an ICE set for...
In theory I don't mind having a reduced timetable as a Series X player. What I do have a problem with is paying full price for the privilege of...
Amtrak uses the SC44 Charger locomotives for the primary power on the Surfliners. P42's and Dash-8's pop up on them here and there, but they are...
As cool as it would be, I don't see them doing the whole route. At their current aversion to greater than 50 track miles, there's no real logical...
I'd like to see it, but unfortunately Killer is right. You might see a third party tackle it at some point (pigs may also fly), but DTG can...
Leftover from the long-distance train days back when the New York Central and New Haven were the tenant railroads and ran trains like the 20th...
