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...

Yes I realize that it's all about maximizing profit and what that means in terms of content. I guess I just like pissing in the wind, but I'll...

Good or not, to all intents and purposes it's the only game for those addicts who need a train fix.

It means going back in time which, apart from JT, DTG and its 3P's show no inclination to do. You know they can say older stuff doesn't sell till...

Well, having read this entire thread, I have to say the overwhelming enthusiasm for this upcoming route and train leads me to the inevitable...

Well, we all knew about NY- Stamford already, so no reveal there, though there are some unknowns about the content. And the Medway line looks...

You're misunderstanding. The point is the time between announcement and release, not how long it takes between the start of a project and the...

Depends how long the development takes. It's already 4-5 months since it was announced. I think that's too long already.

You're upside down Antony. People are impatient because stuff is announced a year or more in advance with no intimation as to when it will be...

Absolutely agree with the OP. It's ludicrous that projects like the Santa Fe pack can be on the Roadmap for one and a half years. And who knows...

I'm much more selective about what I buy from DTG and its 3P's than I used to be, because the standards are much lower and prices are not...

In my view paying full price for a route and owning the layers that go along with it, and then switching off most of those layers that make it...

Really? More like bread and circuses to distract us from their inability to fix real issues in the game, most of which are not on that list, such...

The truth is though that, whether it's Germany, UK or the US, there's a sameness, a monotony in route development in the past few years. The...

They don't need a survey to pinpoint the major and most annoying bugs in TSW. Most of us can list them just by having read the forum and played...

Nominally yes. But the forums are not social media in the same sense of the word as are Facebook, X, Tik Tok or Instagram, just to name a few...

Yes, she did nag him. And Sam didn't let MP get away with stuff either. It was after those two and Adam left that the streams were taken over by...

Went the way of the wooly mammoth, I think.

Ha! This is the most attention from a moderator that the forum's received in quite some time. And it has nothing to do with the game itself!...

Isn't this a question that could be answered almost immediately by someone at DTG who's in touch with UW? Maybe you should ask this question on...

Oh boy, if there was ever a need to read between the lines, this is it.

If the Discord server already has more than 6,000 members and counting, I don't see the incentive for DTG to maintain the forum for much longer,...

I think the price should depend on more than route length. Consider the quality and the gameplay opportunities also. An extra 40 miles of...

You often see " anger " in the forum where there really isn't any. Critical comments don't equal anger my friend.

So, quantity over quality eh? Well that kinda fits the current trend with TSW. :)

Well I'm pleased that there is some US freight on the horizon along with a new loco, though: 1. We don't know how long the development time will...

Given the kind of route it is, the short line nature of it doesn't bother me.The quality will be the crucial factor.

Well, if you want to view things from DTG's perspective, fine. I post from a player viewpoint. I thought that's what the forums are for.

It did, but only in terms of content not features. The routes ( Morristown, Riviera at least ) were much better than last year. But the new...

Yes, nice words. But I have the distinct impression that there is a greater presence of the CM's on Discord these days than on the forums. Just...

I get the picture. I'm sure if I started posting on Discord I'd get into all kinds of trouble immediately. Unless I suddenly became all schmaltzy...

Well, we'll see how NYC Stamford turns out. I believe Brandon is involved in that venture. ) But beyond that, the future for US rail doesn't look...

Agree, as long as it includes some CSX freight and Amtrak. And it needs to go further than Croton- Harmon.
