I'd be happy with either Blue Mountains (for the scenery) or Central Coast-Newcastle (for the familiarity), but just about any CityRail line would...
If making love in an aeroplane is joining the Mile High Club, is making love in a train joining the Mile Long Club?
I love how the Llanfair sign didn't even try and offer a pronunciation guide for the Welsh "Ll"
Hunter Valley region of NSW/Australia, coal central (Newcastle is the world's largest coal export port). The Bowen Basin coalfields (and the...
Not sure how threatened the TGV would have been at the time, considering a) it's electric, not diesel, and b) even the original TGV Sud-Est sets...
The Mars transit pods in the Expanse are kinda cool design too, in that the rails are beside the cars rather than underneath, so you can have a...
Hence why the 91s were called Intercity 225 (for 225km/h, conveniently/coincidentally 100 bigger than the 125mph of the HST)

In the past we've either been "Insert Team Name Here" or "Trivia Newton-John"
Or stick a limb/head out the window and get cleaned up by the tunnel wall... Tube loading gauge is _very_ tight... [IMG]
That's the one, I remember it having Kinder in the name (no surprise there) but just kept thinking kindergarten
Next challenge is working out what train had the kids playground in the last carriage... Sooo many memories from that holiday...
Friday June 15 1990. Left youth hostel in Baden, caught train in to Zurich and then on to Munich. Transferred to overnighter to Copenhagen via Hamburg
Pretty safe to say that any transportation system in any future will only have a passing resemblance to the legacy systems on Earth (because they...
I can get the exact date if required (bonus of keeping a diary) :P Year was 1990 (we were in Italy just before the World Cup), month from memory...
At the start of Y101 you have to manually change the points ahead of you so that you follow the blue line on the map and avoid the oncoming train.
Ok got a bit more info now, as usual my memory had slightly deceived me but most of the core was still correct. Drawing was done on the platform...
Balloon loops are very common here for coal loaders/unloaders
Not sure if it's the same where you are, but here second-hand mountain bikes are a dime-a-dozen on Facebook marketplace pages if you just need a...
The first one is probably the best of all of them too....I didn't mind 1/2/3, but they really went downhill (relatively speaking) after that. I...
I think it counts as "Complete" at 75% full or the like, once the circle goes green you're all good. 100% needs something like 1.6mph which is...
Don't worry about it, the Mastery challenges don't often register properly either so it might seem like you're missing something even when you've...
Fully Loaded is the name of the Mastery, it isn't a scenario. You get awarded the mastery after you have loaded 20 wagons in any of the scenarios...
Pretty simple - the "hoods" are the sections of the loco in front and behind the cab (mainly on American locos where there is only one cab)....
I can only trust the drawing my 6-yo self made, but it was a solid colour (maybe some white outlining), no additional logos/patterns, and more...
Seems more like 65 hours these days (some of the trips go longer due to stop-over excursions etc), but the route is still ~4350km long so non-stop...
Seems like the best place to ask this: When I was a kid (1990), we went on a holiday in Europe. One particular thing that sticks in my mind is a...
Just wait till you see Australia, which has 85% of the population of Texas but is the size of the continental United States. The Indian Pacific...
In Australia (for the most part), the baked good is pronounced "scon" (short o) and the town in the Hunter Valley region of NSW is pronounced...
Did some experimenting, and it seems it isn't as simple as I thought. Did a Timetable scenario on SPG w/ a freight consist and the speed limit in...
Unless something has changed very recently (ie the last week or so), I've definitely noticed SPG handles speed limits differently if you're...
Working for a large multi-national (global Fortune 500) I am painfully aware of how far companies go to protect their brand and image....
Yep, always been able to rev the engine with Gen Field off, was often the last thing that I'd forget to turn on and be sitting there wondering why...
And there it is (for MU at least). Also means that the in-game default setting (ON) for the trail is technically wrong but probably has no effect.
So it is safe to assume that the Dynamic Brake switch is therefore irrelevant in all locos apart from the lead? In the middle of a scenario now...
As I said, as with all the other guides I have read those instructions don't make any mention of the Dynamic Brake switch settings, which is the...
I've never seen the Dynamic Brake switch mentioned in any of the MU/DP setup guides (I don't believe there is an equivalent switch in the GP38 or...
So I've almost completed the SPG journey and am fully versed with getting the locos properly set up for both multiple-working and distributed...
