If you have Sherman Hill, set up a run in Scenario planner with the SD70 Ace. I know in SPG, I can sub this loco into the timetable. The improved...
The 185 and 146 are good locos for learning PZB; they display restricted speed limits on the dash. Have fun and let us know how it goes!
I have been less engaged with TSW over the holidays, but did I miss a list of top 10s somewhere?
I completely agree; driving a good service with PZB is the most enjoyable and engaging task in TSW2 for me. And I never would have anticipated...
Or gone for a wander at a busy station and then realized that you can’t remember which train is yours.
So many complaints on this forum, but so much fun to drive can be a recurring theme for some of the routes and DLC here. SEHS is very impressive...
I just ran (and enjoyed!) this one again and it worked for me. Plenty of adverse signals and some 1-2 minute waits, but nothing that didn't...
Such nice horns! And I love the lapped brakes in the F40PH.
Both routes are quite enjoyable as is the ACS 64. The combined power handle of the ACS 64 provides minimal braking and is mostly used for fine...
The 101 runs on Hamburg Lubeck are very enjoyable and a bit challenging.
From a gameplay point of view, I think TSW2 made great strides last year. It wasn’t too long ago that it was quite difficult to find an adverse...
I am also a bug fan of the Javelin. What a great cockpit. I wish I could run it in the chaos of the BML timetable!
It was a year that saw the release of my 3 favorite locos: the 465, the F7, and the DB 101. The complexities of the BML and DRA timetables were...

Nice set up. I love hearing AI sound the horn. A great chaos run and a chance to run a nice route that I had not thought about in a while - thanks!
Working the Capitol Limited into the SPG timetable would be great. I enjoy running the new SD70 and its physics package on SPG now. Having mile...
These are really nice liveries! Thank you!
I would also like to ask about performance updates to Sherman Hill relative to changing the grass asset to improve frame rates. I love the route...
I recognize all these shortcomings and look forward to TSW loco's with all those features. However, I must admit to really enjoying the SD70ACe;...
More Track 3 Action on Sherman Hill: The 12:20 Hermosa to Laramie run takes a very heavy ethanol train down the steep grade on track 3. It is...
It does not affect frame rate, but it does prolong the transition as scenery in the distance appears and makes the pop in not so obvious. It is...
This is what does it for me. I also had to turn it off for Sherman; even then the grass vexes my GPU. r.ViewDistanceScale=5...
Not to go to far off-topic, but I think it’s important to remember that pre-pandemic, Amtrak covered about 95% of its operating costs while...
I really like this route, but the grass is taking my FPS down into the 10-15 range, even with foliage setting on low and no ini mods. My PC specs...
Sherman Hill Cheyenne Yard to Hermosa Intermodal at 16:38 It is a nice run up the hill into the sunset and moves over to track 3 at Hermosa for...
Sherman Hill: Racing up the 3 Track Start in the 10:37 automotive service Larmie to Hermosa. This service goes up Track 3 where the grade...
An SPG run, already recommended previously by solicitr , but even better with the SD70ACe which subs in on SPG. The 11:30 G089 Grain train from...
Thank you for that reply. It is exactly what I am experiencing. I’m glad to know that it is not an issue with my PC. Hoperfully, a performance...
Thanks for the replies. When I adjusted the foliage slider, I didn’t see a change in frame rate at that specific location. When I get home, I...
I bought a pretty beefy PC 2 ½ years ago – which likely delayed when I can retire! I got a Dell Alien with the following specs: NVIDIA GeForce...
One other interesting thing about Saluda is that there was a runaway train diversion. When you reached the start of the downhill grade, a spring...
I enjoyed her voice overs on Boston Sprinter and will be starting out on Sherman Hill soon. Thank you for the bonus stream last night - enjoyable...
Two more DRA runs before I fire up the SD70 ACe. The 13:49 freight run from Rodereau to Dresden. [SPOILER] The 08:04 Meißen Triebischtal to...
Excellent video! I haven’t opened up Sherman Hill quite yet. I have a few more DRA runs I want to try first. Are the minimum reductions at just...
Do you remember the service? I would love to drive it.
There is a great Trains magazine map that Blacknred81 posted on the first page of this thread. Magnify it and read it. It is full of useful...
What magnificent horns! With two different varieties for each loco and access to a number of prototypical North American horns. This bodes well...
So the western end of track 3, which serves the cement plant, is included. Excellent! The article also mentioned Borie cutoff. Will there be AI...

A quick update with the recent BML, WCL, and HRR additions. Recommended Service Runs as of 11/11/21:...
These are enjoyable quick services, 1Z32 in particular. I went to free roam at Redhill, enjoyed the traffic, and took over the 12:22 service...
The Gronk Shuffle on West Cornwall: The 09:30 Pilot Loco Release service with the Class 08 is a veritable ballet of locomotives coming and going...
I must admit that I am enjoying thrashing the diesels up and down this roller coaster of a route. It is quite a challenge to stay smooth and on...
That was a great run! The Gronk even sounds the horn as AI. The 3C24 mail service looks like fun as well; next on my list.
I haven’t driven the route yet, but I think I remember from the stream that hitting either of the buttons that opened the doors will close them.
Freight on the BML - as recommended by Joe: 7V00 Newhaven Day Aggregates to Acton TC with the Class 66. The loco is a beast, but doesn't exactly...
