Can't believe the CN GP9 isn't winning hands down in the freight category. In terms of physics, sound and modeling it's the best in the game. I...

It's hard to understand why, with the apparently good relationship DTG has with Amtrak, that all we have are two electric locos from the NEC. A...

Well, it depends on which routes you're comparing them with. I see you're a fairly recent member so you may not have or be aware of the early...

Followed by a vote of no confidence, the fall of the government, a general election and a victory for Thomas and Friends, a new cabinet led by...

Well...... there is that whopping anticlimax/let down on December 20!! But I think most of us are over that now, certainly only one person seems...

Oh I hope not. This lull between Christmas and New Years is kinda dull. I've played with all my new toys, worn all my new socks and underwear and...

Here's one idea. Resolve to require every DTG employee, including producers, community managers and moderators, to go back and play Sand Patch...

Buy it on sale for the loco just to add traffic to WCML. But the route itself is just like driving a bus, slow speed limits, stops twice at every...

Oh I'll second that. Plus resolve to use the words " cool " and " awesome " every 20 minutes instead of every 5 minutes in all DTG videos. (I...

I agree that using the save feature as I do is kind of cheating. But I have so little playing time compared to most that I feel it's justified.

My version of this is to " save " about every 10 minutes or so during a scenario/service. That way I'm never too far along that I can't correct...

Yes we were looking forward to freight layers on NYT right up until the last minute. I think I recall that Joethefish had put them in only to see...

Yes I've learned not to engage with that poster. All the best for 2025 Vern.

This might be valid in a marketplace with numerous, roughly equal suppliers. But with DTG being, at least currently, the major producer in town,...

Did you guys really want to resurrect a >3 yr old thread? Better to start your own.

Can't disagree with any of that. I would also add to resolve to deal with passenger behavior which is currently very amateurish. I would double...

That's a really tired old cliche. I assure you I'm not childlike in any way, although I keep having to remind my wife that driving virtual trains...

It is very convenient and I believe that it's being used as an excuse for not releasing new freight content. DTG seem quite content to insert...

Not suggesting that DTG shouldn't cater to children. I'd encourage that. Just not in TSW. Create a separate game with all the cartoon characters...

" When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I put aside childish...

Fascinating stuff. Great thread. I think it's good that we are reminded that gender equality is still not firmly established even in Western...

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...
