It was supposed to be an allusion. " steam ?", " kettle? " Get it? Lost on this forum I should have known. :D:D. ( I wonder what would happen if...

It's a well-known fact that the best and most nutritious way to cook Brussels Sprouts is to steam them in a large kettle. I hope that's one of...

For the record it's Brussels Sprouts. And I love 'em. Give me a plate of Brussels Sprouts, broccoli and lima beans and I'll be in 7th Heaven. (...

Earlier I said that it would be ironic if " Thomas " drives like a one handled emu. What would be really ironic is if it had more sophisticated...

Steady on there. You're very close to being reported.

The F59PHR of course. It was one of only 2 North American reveals and the only one I was surprised to see.

Appreciate the response. So how are freight routes being built currently in TSC, for instance? And commuter routes in TSW with some freight...

I'm not aware of any licensing problems with BNSF, UP , NS or Amtrak. And besides, DTG have plenty of locos and route information in their back...

Looking at all the indicators, Roadmaps, Reveals etc., it would be reasonable to assume that nothing new is in the offing for the coming year, at...

But Holiday Express wasn't the Grand Reveal everyone was PR'd into excitedly anticipating for an entire month. " Thomas " can't be described as...

Fair enough ( though please stop patting yourself on the back so much ), but you missed the salient points that the less vitriolic among us are...

As I mentioned elsewhere what really tees me off is that instead of developing something for US fans who have predictably been roundly ignored in...

If I'm honest a big part of my frustration is that US players didn't do very well in the reveals. And I wouldn't think many Americans " grew up "...

Very high I would think. Certainly DTG's plans are not going to change.

It will be ironic if it drives like a one- handled electrostar. :D

So this is what they have been working on for the past few months. Not fixing the myriad bugs in the game, not improving the core, not trying to...

Words fail me. Can't think of anything more disappointing, not to say laughable and not deserving of serious discussion. Well at least we have...

My rough count for the first 17 reveals is: UK. 7 ( 41% ) DE. 3 (18% ) US. 2 (12% ) Other. 5 (29% ) Can't say fairer than that, eh? ;)

Too bad that SEHS is beating CCL. I'm not overly fond of either, but SEHS with that endless tunnel section and the subsequent bus service is very...

Yes, I will base my vote on which one has the ugliest color scheme and which one has the narrowest windshield. With a bit of luck most of them...

DTG developed steam traction partly because they probably felt they ought to and partly on the whim of the then CEO. They discovered they weren't...

Well, all I can say is you're completely out in left field. And Amtrak is posting record numbers, including the new service from Chicago to...

Steam's Winter Sale starts tomorrow ( 19th ) and I'm wondering if the discounts will mirror the Epic Sale. If so I could pick up a couple of...

If Just Trains continues to produce an excellent route once a year, they will be like Glasgow Celtic, predictable, perennial winners over the also...

That's nonsense, come on now. There's lots of cross country service, much of it out of Chicago which also originates some shorter Midwest routes....

Not surprising to me. It reflects the current player preference. After all, TSW has become pretty much a commuter rail simulator ( except for JT ).

Well, I suppose we should be relieved that the project is still alive, though I'm not overly sold on more Cajon Pass scenarios. In any case,...

Good spot. Now I'm thinking that a Metra license would be a great reveal. Would open up a part of the US which has not featured in TSW.

With a couple of exceptions ( F59PHR, Class 86 ), the Reveal Season has been somewhat underwhelming so far. We need something exciting to whip up...

If Oakville were in any other group, I would probably have chosen it. It's a favorite of mine, especially because it sports the GP9rm, the best...

Then OOM errors would be inevitable for the " S " for recent routes, I would imagine. You really need 16GB dedicated to video. DTG does kinda say...

You can be certain that, if there were no planes flying overhead, the route would be panned mercilessly.

Agree 100%. And there are other more deserving routes, such as SPG, BML and Penn Corridor.

How much Vram does the series S have, may I ask?

If you don't develop steam and freight locos and routes on a consistent basis, you cannot call yourself a true train simulator. TSW has become...

Pretty straightforward for me too. Don't have Boston- Worcester so have to go with Providence. Plus LIRR, Clinchfield and, of course, SPG.

That silly barber's pole when you're loading passengers. I don't know if you can call it a bug, but it's certainly bugging me. It really has to...

And one reason for the failure of Clinchfield was the glaring omission of banking coms to control helper locos which made much of the content too...

I don't buy that argument. It's too convenient. More of a rationalization, I think. Anyway if " nitpicking " were a reason not to develop,...

Once again you're discounting the vast amount of research data, visual and otherwise that DTG has accumulated over many years of building US locos...

Unless it's a major core change or the return of steam and/or freight or a groundbreaking new route with new locos, it will be a disappointment.

I'll take a wild guess and say it's going to be something North American. ( Well, I did say Wild. )

Is this what passes for an update these days? How about some real information and some WIP screenshots..... If there are any.

Source? Evidence? Numbers?

As I and others have pointed out ad nauseam, DTG has a large back catalog of North American routes, locomotives and rolling stock. They have...

The " Reveal Season " is losing its luster for me. We need something big to pick it up the rest of the way. Like a new US freight route!! :D

Yes, on a run from Euston to MK, it was thick fog all the way. Not a fun drive. There's far too much of the misty stuff in WCMLS. Can't be normal....

There a very slim to none chance. But only if you post this in the Suggestions forum with a lot more detail.

Yes I'm not having any gameplay issues and the route does seem busier. But you can't unsee those tunnel walls, looks like the wallpaper is...

Hey, that gives me a brain wave. Wouldn't it be great if one of the reveals was a complete overhaul of the save function?
