The cab equipment of the two engines included with the Oakville Subdivision route feature one gizmo I've never seen before: a meter that measures...
The major focus in and train simulator is driving trains or riding in them and when you're engaged in either of those activities what difference...
It seems obvious to me that the two engines included with this route are used for switching as well as line operations. If I'm wrong about this,...
Caro Riccardo, actual voting is only possible in response to a poll, but you can "like" any post in a thread or declare it "useful" by clicking on...
Excellent work! Many thanks!!
"Plenty of freight services," yes in terms of numbers, but the few that are not simple, repetitive long runs varying only by time of day or night...
One more note: this route can be pre-purchased at a 10% discount, which reduces its price by $3 to $26.99, but the Caltrain Switcher DLC can only...
Yes, I just noticed that as well; however, repeating the same service multiple times with the only difference being that the time of departure...
"150 extra services are added to the route." I do own Main-Spessart Bahn, but haven't looked at it in a while; if memory serves, the freight...
Thanks for calling everyone's attention to an announcement that I, for one, had missed. However, that announcement makes no mention of freight; if...
I've just looked through the Class 31's user manual, which includes the engine's "Quick Start Guide"; according to those instructions, the brake...
I thoroughly approve not just of switching activities, but especially of those switching activities that involve loading or unloading commodities....
I sincerely & completely agree! Knowing that someone -- not just from DTG in general, but someone who we "know" is associated with TSW or TS has...
Was this thread really had a great past?
Does all of this blathering really beat actually driving simulated trains?
Don't say that out loud in Canada!
Well, that's an intriguing hint.
nne4229 claimed that all freight cars are unloaded; I countered with a screenshot of loaded centerbeams; neither of us made any statement...
This is really getting pathetic.
What's that mean, Anthony, and how do you know it? Using the simulated scales again?
Oh, yeah? While driving the 4918 Flank Road Loading session yesterday, I spotted those centerbeams in the distance carrying two different loads....
So far, the only add-on I have not purchased is the LIRR route, but that's enough to turn me against subscription buying.
Switching! Switching!! Switching!!! I'll willingly second the call for a German switcher, but this is a definite move in the right direction. And...
Yeah, like those, but r-a-n-d-o-m, so an activity isn't always the same each time you drive it, which takes me back to my previous question...
The CN Oakville Subdivision DLC includes a methane loading tutorial and a number of services that involve loading -- well, sometimes. What I mean...

Thanks for the tip, ragn05, but I did indeed have the MU-2A valve set correctly in both cabs -- that much is covered in the scenario's...
Do you mean the MU-2A valve? I followed all of the scenario's set-up instructions, but don't remember just off hand whether that was mentioned or,...
The first steps in this scenario proceed as they should: coupling to some autoracks at the Oakville Assembly Complex and coupling to more...
What on earth does the BR 155 have to do with the CN Oakville Subdivision route?
These forums just keep getting more and more weird.
Like HuggernautNL and others who have used this thread to praise the CN_Oakville_Subdivision, I am enjoying this route tremendously and am...
Interesting? Some scenarios and sessions have taken me past passenger platforms, but I have not seen any passengers on them. Can you provide a...
Since this route does emphasize switching (hooray!), long freight trains appear mostly as walk-ons (AI trains, that is), although there are trains...
Just for the record: In the new Oakville route, some (perhaps all) centerbeams are loaded. My guess is that most freight cars are empty to keep...
Just to provide a bit of counterpoint here: yesterday, I drove the TT G86921-05 Aldershot-Oakline service yesterday. After arriving in the...
I've written it before and will do so now: not all DLC for TSW store pages include a link to the user manual!!!!! While waiting for the Canadian...
Yes, that would interest me as well, but how do you foresee such tasks being carried out in TWS? At present, a simmer can walk, run, climb steps...
Well, gee, I've just never been skilled at reading what a writer meant to write.
Come on DD, railroad sims require multitasking! I'm perfectly happy handling all jobs in TSW: driver/engineer, 2nd man - conductor - switch-man -...
Okay, who is Anthony and where sis Well, it's been possible to open the "lid" of tank cars since their first appearance in the first route, CSX,...
Thanks -- I've thought that a Journey consists a number of Scenarios, Sessions [now called "Timetable", which makes no sense to me], and even...
I've missed the mention of "loading tank cars ..." -- where did that appear?
Didn't "someone from DTG" write the article?
Happy to see your problem was solved. By the way, is this a scenario or a timetable activity? I couldn't find anything called "Maintenance...
Is there a manual for the CSX GP40-2 Loco Add-On?
After having ignored CSX for quite some time, I opened it yesterday and am prepared to swear that it now offers several switching scenarios that...
Olaf, Could any of this training be added to TSW routes. The current "training" modules have always struck me as extremely elementary: not even...
Regarding Matt's addendum to Anthony's message: low-poly rr cars have long been available for TS, thanks to Michael Stephan -- could they be...
That's reasonable, but not to everyone -- especially those who seem to use these votes as weapons against their supposed enemies. As ol'...
