One of my first simulated routes from the MSTS days. I actually just picked up the Great British Diesels add-on for Open Rails to go with it (I...
I'm fairly certain I have this for TSC and just haven't gotten to it yet lol. Regardless, the Woodhead fascinates me and would make for a welcome...
Does anyone here play D&D? I just started my first ever bard and wanted to see if anyone has any tips or tricks. I usually play as a rogue or...
Some of the MOC's (My Own Creation) I've built using instructions from Rebrickable. If you're a Lego fan and want to challenge yourself (and your...
Hey Everybody, I thought I'd share these with any of you all who might be Lego fans out there. In addition to model trains I also collect Lego,...
Well, I got to experience my first earthquake today and can confidently say I am not a fan....
You see it a little bit with the Genesee & Wyoming's US railroads and Freightliner, and in the past EWS and Wisconsin Central.
I had the discussion elsewhere that EMU's here would look a lot better with some form of aerodynamics or curving on the nose while maintaining...
lol nope, we are very much factor over form. Crew safety and comfort trumps all, in that order. Any styling after that is a bonus.
You don't need to apologize lol. I just think for a loco with coaches and scenarios DTG usually charges at least twenty.
I believe the issue is more security than presentation. The MTA probably isn't too keen on accurately modeled subway networks. Even though the...
I always thought they sounded like boats, and after watching a documentary on them last year I was happy to learn I have a good ear lol. I do...
Certainly makes you appreciate Workshop support in Steam lol. I went crazy this past year trying to remember how to install MSTS freeware. I...
Illegal, but most roads plan ahead for it. This kind of scenario would be close to unheard of here, especially with a passenger railroad....
The US has been extremely strict on who can be in the cab for years. Most units have internal cameras along with the standard event recorders that...
Very nice! I love the Concorde hiding in the back.
We're getting closer to ordering track. I got the rail joiners I'll need, and Rails of Sheffield shipped me the stuff to do third rail and AWS...
I don't see why this couldn't work. Several console games include native mod support, including SnowRunner, Farming Simulator, Fallout 4, and...
I forgot about MS Flight Simulator! Shows you how often I play lol. I'm okay taking off, but when it comes time to land forget about it. Granted I...
My haul from the Walthers sale... [img] I was able to totally upgrade and modernize my freight car collection, although I'm probably going to...
I know they only simulate the Hudson and Rensselaer Amtrak stations; in your opinion would it be worth it if I prefer Amtrak ops?
Thanks Vern and Fighter Command! Do any of you have the Selkirk Terminal route? If so, thoughts?
I really enjoyed 3DTS' MSTS content and have given some thought into Run8, especially their Albany area route as that's my local rail line. How...
No no, those are mine. Clint has enough stuff lol.
lol yeah, no, we don't get rid of things. They're up in storage back behind where we keep our filter overstock, and no one goes back there. It's...
We've got a bunch of old towers at work that I've been given the okay to take. Once my wife and I buy a house and I have space I'm really tempted...
I always feel like I'm going to break something when I work on a laptop lol. Desktops are much easier due to the larger scale and working...
I'm a strong advocate for online safety and good tech practices, especially for people who aren't as savvy or just don't know. I FINALLY got my...
Amtrak & Metro-North's Hudson Line, circa the late 90's/early 00's, with connections to GCT and NYP to simulate pre- and post- Empire Connection...
I recently resurrected my MSTS collection through OpenRails, which has been a huge blast from the past. I would spend hours scrolling through...
I'm personally a big fan of the Samsung SSD's. They're fast, reliable, and their free cloning software is extremely simple and easy to use.
Yo, I heard you like switch stands on switch stands on switch stands... [img] These look like they're going to be a pain to paint and install
Couple of discount codes to share with you fine folks... Rails of Sheffield - 5% off through Sunday, March 24th Code: TREATYOURSELF...
Great photos, thank you for sharing!
That's one of the reasons why HO is 1:87 and OO is 1:76 scale
Just got this dropped into my inbox... [img] Looks like Rails of Sheffield is preserving Hattons' massive collection of online resources. Good...
That 103 is awesome!
Nothing too exciting this update. The Model Centre had a SceneCraft sale, and Atlas released a Metro-North caboose from pre-order. [img]
I plan on pre-ordering a set of their upcoming OO Class 320, but haven't had much experience with them. N Scale seems to be their broader audience.
They had it for the M8's in the TSC New Haven Line, so I'm not sure why it'd be such an issue now. Of course that was however many odd years ago,...
I wouldn't be opposed to seeing a reboot of the Caltrain route, but I think it should be post electrification and feature the new FLIRT EMUs.
If it really is the case that this is an LIRR reboot, I'm still confused as to why licensing for LIRR is an issue. I'm assuming they had to get...
I too am curious to the logic here; nothing terminates or originates at Goldens Bridge, and at that point you're close enough to Brewster.
I love SnowRunner and after watching IGN's review I'm disappointed with what I saw. At least I saved money on not buying it!
OpenRails is the way to go. I recently went through all my old MSTS content and it runs great through OR, which also has native RailDriver...
Out with the old and in with the new! I recently went through my collection and managed to purge a bunch of older, redundant, and just old...
Consider me an anarchist lol
As far as driving quality, the 375/377 Electrostar family is responsive and handles amazingly. For fun, I love the older British diesels like the...
Agreed. Kings Cross would have been a far better starting point; if TSC can do it, then TSW should be able to as well.
Bakerloo would be better if there was AI traffic on the above ground and mainline portions. After watching some of the Video125 cab videos of the...
Separate names with a comma.
