https://www.strasburgrailroad.com/611-at-strasburg/ I have done some of these events before. If you are a steam fan they have been some of the...
https://www.strasburgrailroad.com/611-at-strasburg/ If anyone wants to experience an American icon of steam for real I can’t recommend this...
Also for any of you 611 fans she’s going to be operating on the Strasburg Railroad in Pennsylvania again from May 22 Through October. Dates,...
Would love to run a J on the mainline, and get her up to speed!
I think an auto fireman mode would solve a lot of those issues. I think the other major issues folks could have is adhesion and wheel slip in some...
I’ve mentioned the same as well in several threads on here, I would absolutely love to have the 611 in game. I have had the opportunity to run the...
[MEDIA] This isn’t from the Clinchfield, but the theory is similar. This is a training video from the Southern Railway, on operating a train over...
I mentioned Saluda Grade as a possible route before, I think Saluda would be a lot of fun! Would love a chance to run the Belmont over Saluda...
I’d be interested in some PRR action as well! Especially steam!
From a personal standpoint I think late Conrail just before or after the NS merger would be most interesting. It has potential for mixed consists...
I agree, I would love to see Horseshoe curve. Altoona to Johnstown maybe? I proposed that as a route as well. Even like GWR could do under...
I play on console, livery editor options seem very limited. I don’t really even mess with it.
My thoughts exactly! Would love to see this.
I don’t think you can build an SD80MAC in livery creator either, or a route. That’s really what I would like Conrail locos and route.
SD80MAC would be great!! I would love to see it in the game. I can remember being a kid and going to Altoona railfest when they were showing it...
Been my favorite scenario in the game so far. Have you tried the night ops with the SD40? They’re very difficult adds a whole different element...
I agree I love Clinchfield exactly for that reason! I think it’s been the most realistic North American route to this point!! The challenge of...
If it is the backing move after you’ve filled the coal hoppers and are backing down to the other cut of hoppers try this. When it tells you to...
Try limited power, and the Nora and Moss branches those have been my favorites so far. Some of the switch moves and grades are quite challenging.
In most places at that time in the US helper sets were manned at that time I believe. Even today helpers are typically manned. DPU’s are another...
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the branch lines on Clinchfield so far. If Cane Creek is done as well I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully...
Has anyone else noticed train behavior and physics seem very much improved on this route as compared to other North American freight. It may just...
Keep an eye on your brake pipe pressures. WIth the F7 first service is around a 5 psi reduction. You can then go to service and bring it back to...
If they did this route it would be very cool if they extended the route south out of DC a bit. It would be cool to bring one of the services from...
I think they knocked it out of the park with the Clinchfield. I am really enjoying the route!! It has great scenery challenging terrain, and a...
I really enjoyed this scenario as well, I thought the switching moves and loading at the top on the steep grade were very challenging.
Does anyone know if the refer cars in this service are weighted? I opened one and they appear empty, however this train should be fully loaded...
That statement pretty much sums up Amtrak, Lol
I on the contrary think this would be a lot of fun. Still a challenge to bring a passenger train over the grade, and you would be able to run...
Oops my bad.... got my routes mixed up, Was thinking of the Zephyr routing today as opposed to then.
I really hope to see the project come to fruition, I’ve donated to them a couple times. They’ve funded a lot of parts already I believe the boiler...
Reno to Sacramento via Truckee and Donner Pass would be a lot of fun! I’ve ridden the Zephyr through there beautiful scenery! That would be cool...
I’m hoping for Norfolk and Western 611 but I’ll be happy with any mainline us steam. I’d like 611 or PRR T-1 5550. I realize UK rail-fans may not...
Yes at least pre-Covid they did. I know they plan on it again they have a 4-6-2 Pacific #425 and are almost done restoring a reading T-1 2102. If...
In the USA Strasburg Railroad would be a very viable option. I personally would like a large mainline steam locomotive. Specifically the Norfolk...
The MP15 by far. I really enjoyed the Amtrak SW1000R on the previous version of Train Sim.
It seems to be working a bit better for me now, I’ve been using 20-25% on the vacuum brake and then just tweaking the dynamic to adjust speed...
Saluda Grade in North Carolina was the steepest mainline railroad grade in North America at 5.4%. Think Arosa but with a long heavy freight train....
I know it won’t be in the route, but for the folks on here that find it interesting and want to watch some cool train videos. The Clinchfield has...
The restored EA unit looks amazing!
When I was a kid they were just short stories as part of another show on US public access channels called “Shining Time Station”
That was mine too as a kid, my Dad and I would always get excited when we started catching these on trains as they got phased in.
I have many great memories of rail-fanning with my Dad. We spent a lot of time traveling to all the Pennsylvania hot spots when I was a kid....
I didn’t know that’s what you were supposed to do lol, I actually brought it online and used the main locos as helpers, and then used it as a...
[ATTACH] Norfolk And Western J-Class #611 That’s me at the throttle! I think she is one of the finest locomotives ever built in the USA.
Ive been playing the log mission a bunch and it is driving me crazy they really need to make a cut out for the safety system and not make you have...
Anyone else play the log scenario, and it wants to give you emergency break applications every time you pass a red regardless of weather you’ve...
Very interesting indeed. I don’t know how much you know of US excursion locomotives, but one of the J3a class in the upper left was in operation...
Very Cool!! I think an Alstom consist very similar to the Alston train in the Wikipedia article is also being tested at the Pueblo test track for...
I’ve had the opprotunity to both fire and operate steam locomotives. I’ve run the Western Maryland 734, and Norfolk and Western 611, and I’ve...
