Great write-up Mevans, I think this would make an excellent addition to the game, especially with preserved examples (non-running) being...
They're available as freeware for MSTS/OpenRails, but they're older models and not up to current standards. You'll need to sign up for a free...
Latest pre-order release, the Atlas NJT commuter train pack with ALP dual mode locomotive and three multilevel cars. I'm pretty impressed with the...
Sounds like you dodged a huge bullet. My wife usually just reads while I play, and mocks the AWS chimes by saying "DING!" after every ramp I pass...
I saved this one in my Xbox wish list to buy at a later date and/or on sale. I usually gobble up most DLC, but at $40 for a route with no new...
IC Swallow is one of my favorite paint schemes, this would be a definite buy for me
Ok, that checks out and shows DTG still haven't adjusted the brightness intensity. Here's an example from a cousin of the F40, the CF7 [skip to...
Great write-up! I could totally see this being a Just Trains project, and seeing them execute it very well!
That's true to an extent, but I've found the brightness of the headlights on the F40 in this DLC to be a bit exaggerated. [MEDIA] That said,...
Ditto, I'm just wrapping up all 29 of the Southeastern High Speed scenarios and I'm starting to get bored with the modern stock.
Option B is my preferred, but honestly I'd take either if we got some slam-door Southern EMU stock.
Welcome to my world lol. At this point I'd thrilled to have shelves just to look at my damn trains! My wife and I are meeting with a potential...
For North American trains I cannot praise Rapido enough. Their models are a little on the pricey side, but their build quality and attention to...
Good point on the GWR tanks, although my bank account would still argue the point lol. I actually just finished reading David Maidment's Great...
I wouldn't be surprised if I was somewhere on the spectrum, I think a good portion of the population is without even realizing it or acknowledging...
Beautiful!
In the US, train crews will call out signal aspects, and some will radio in their location and signal indications at major interlockings and CP's...
I've mentioned this before over the years, but I think it's worth stating again. I think DTG were wrong to dive in with both feet on full-sized...
There weren't many terribly enticing Christmas deals for model train supplies this year, but I did end up ordering a few packs of various length...
Yes, and then promptly set the tree on fire lol
As Blacknred noted, it's an automated system, so I don't see a ton of play value here. What I would like, however, would be for a remastered...
If we were to get this route in the historical era, it would most likely end up resembling the TSC rendition. The electric motors wouldn't really...
A couple more pre-orders showed up, this time from Atlas. Both variants of the same platform, an Amtrak Dash-8, and a P&W Dash-8. Sorry for the...
Not a problem! I used to go to Boston about once a year with my parents when I was growing up. We used to stay at a Howard Johnson's on the back...
Agreed, I'm going to need to consider going with the 2TB storage card for my Series X soon.
The main route of the Boston-Worcester DLC (the Boston & Albany, or the B&A, to us locals) passes Fenway, between Back Bay and Lansdowne stations....
Rails of Sheffield got my pre-ordered LT 4TC out to me pretty fast. I paid for it on a Friday and it made the trip to New York for delivery on the...
Ffarquhar and "Little Western" branches tied for standard gauge, and it is very hard to not like the Skarloey narrow gauge line. Duck's stories...
A Ffarquhar Branch with Percy, Daisy, Toby, and Mavis would be fun, and be a better fit than the WSR. Also, if we get Duck, and then not an...
I just watched the "fireside chat" on YouTube this morning, looking to get more details on the thought process behind adding Thomas to the game....
Hahahaha, I'm glad I translated that, I may start adding it to my daily lexicon
I had to look down at the date on the computer clock when I first saw this... DTG, this is a joke, right? ...right? I grew up on Rev. Awdry's...
Remember the MSTS days when that was a thing? Making-Tracks, and Europeanbahn even more so, were fantastic in regards to expansion of their...
The London Overground routes backdated to have the older BR EMU's and DMU's would be awesome, same for the Scottish routes; who wouldn't love...
Correct, I was just trying to provide an example that would be similar yet familiar
KN stands for Kilo-Newton; on North American locomotives it would display as tractive effort.
My Black Friday and Cyber Monday model train hauls, plus my catenary wire I've had on back order since May. I've finally started the process of...
As Blanknred noted, <$10 is way too cheap for a loco DLC, especially with passenger rolling stock and services/scenarios. That said, these...
Not a lot, mostly CSAO and NS and not the full lengths of the routes. Certainly not enough to go crazy adding services in aside from some freight...
Yes they are! Rapido even has a magnetic "wand" they send with their trains so people who run DC can still control individual lights on their trains.
Just received a couple of pre-orders from Rapido. A GMD1 road switcher, and a set of Metra gallery cars, both excellently detailed per usual from...
Great proposal! I agree on Irish content being overdue and feel this would be a great addition.
Oh man, that brings back memories! I never actually played it (the scale of the route used to intimidate me when I was younger), but loved looking...
Lol right? My riding experience with them has been on Metro-North, and usually the conductor will lock out the door closest to the locomotive....
While admittedly I am nowhere near a purist when it comes to trains (if you follow my posts in the "Model Railways" Off Topic thread you'll see...
If that was the case then the MTA wouldn't allow Metro-North or LIRR content. The MTA is extremely safety conscious (especially after 9/11 and the...
That's accurate; the vestibules of the non-cab Comet/Shoreliner/Horizon coaches are open on the ends, hence the lock bar across the vestibule. [img]
It's turbocharged, so it should be constantly forcing induction back into the engine. It will take time between notches for the turbo to spool up...
I'm perfectly relaxed, but I also don't think your "thoroughness" on my list of findings was really needed in this matter. It's a thread on...
That doesn't make it right, or negate all the other issues. The fact that it's the first thing most new players see when loading the route for the...
Separate names with a comma.
