! Well, Steam lists DTG as both developer and publisher.
You've seen the light! This is what I and others saw ( or rather didn't see ) in BCC. We really need someone from DTG to come here and explain...
Well, not to sound cute, but now you know how we all felt when Yankee Stadium ( among other landmarks ) was omitted from Harlem even though its...
Thanks for that. Watched and not impressed I'm afraid. Just like BCC and Cathcart. I don't really understand the UK routes at night. Over here...
What I'm reading so far indicates a well- modeled if rather mundane route and decent 323. Short but sweet. But then I read about a series of...
Logically I should just pass this up, because it's another boxy electric train A to B/C offering. Seems almost like a placeholder. But the...
I watched the stream ( except I skipped the photography lesson ) and I didn't see any depot or service moves, just A to B and C. Of course, it...
Well, I don't really have a dog in this hunt because, though I play UK routes a lot, my knowledge of which trains run on which routes is very...
Since the definition of an " Ambassador " is a representative or promoter of the host company, you can't really claim to be objective. The few...
MP mentioned on the stream that they have whittled the list down some and he has to go through the remaining names to ensure diversity between...
Strangely enough for an American, I have a distant memory of Blackpool: lights, trams and towers and the sea, of course. And great fish 'n chips...
I'm trying to think positively, but what could be remotely interesting about a route from Preston to Blackpool? Just another placeholder while...
When the Enterprise finally visits Earth, Captain Kirk will utter the immortal words: " Beam me up, Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here. "
Just saw this thread and I was aghast to read that there's any debate. There isn't any drinkable American tea so I have to buy imported. I've...
Just had a look at the stream. Once again the route looks well- modeled, DTG know how to model track and field, as it were and they know how to...
Oh absolutely. The halcyon days of NTP, TVL and SPG are looking like " the good old days " compared with the current output of simple AB routes...
Amtrak BNSF Union Pacific Canadian National Norfolk Southern Caltrain MBTA ( Boston ) CSX MTA ( NY ) NJT Might be more, including Fallen Flags.
I haven't seen the stream yet, but that sounds very ominous. Is Manchester suffering the same blackout that afflicts Birmingham?
Many thanks. That's quite impressive.
Mea Culpa.
Is this the forum policeman? Well, Consternoon Aftable. :D Don't be so fussy, Vern. I mean it's not like it's gonna be a long thread or anything....
I would add that electric traction is not always the most cost effective. A couple of years ago, Freightliner in the UK reportedly began replacing...
The cost of electrification of the 90,000 or so miles of Class 1 trackage is estimated to be about $500 billion. Current infrastructure funding...
Only governments can afford the infrastructure investment needed to electrify a country's railroads. American and Canadian railroads are in...
Can you be specific about AI layers for this route? And which other routes are needed to see all layers? It isn't very clear to me at this point..
Yes, it's a largely unfinished and unloved gem, including the best NA loco DTG have produced in the GP9RM. The Baby Bullet is supposed to make an...
And yet the Roadmap lists a " huge " update to Oakville in the works.
I'm having a hard time with some of your initialisms, solicitr. TTBOMK ?? Took me a while to work that one out. Is there a dictionary I could use,...
Agree with that. I don't know who at DTG decided to reinstate them, but he or she was seriously misguided.
Actually, the emptiest areas of the US are in the northernmost states. Central Maine ( where I have lived ) is extremely remote from civilization...
Yes, I agree, but, for what it's worth, I think that the highlight color should be more of a puce or cerise rather than gray. Of course carmine...
3 step would usually include also both the independent and automatic brakes fully engaged and, as Sharon mentioned, gen field off, reverser...
Well, Amtrak couldn't produce new locos out of a hat. They had to take what Penn Central and other roads left behind. They had to make do until...
I've never been to the Training Center.
Yes, Metro North uses a " bottom contact " 3rd rail, presumably for safety reasons. The LIRR, however, uses a standard top contact shoe and rail...
Amtrak's GG1's pulled Amfleet cars in the 70's and NJT had a few until the early 80's. A " legends " pack might be fun, if they threw in some...
Well, much as I would like to see Harlem extended to Southeast, DTG have said that extensions In and of themselves are not financially viable. But...
Well, the Steam Summer Sale runs across the Independence Day holiday (6/29 thru 7/13 ), so that half of your wish will likely be granted.
Well, everybody knows there will be a sales tax added at checkout, so no mystery there. And not all merchandise is taxed at the same rate. Food...
I'll go with: 1. NA. Completely revamped and refurbished LIRR ( improved timetable, sounds, signaling and scenery.) 2. UK. Newport to Shrewsbury....
Well, at least that tells us there'll be 3 routes this Summer! :D
And it's worth a reminder that the " Racetrack " in TSC came with BNSF freight ( branded only in the US as I recall ), and Amtrak's Southwest...
Yes, it does seem to have extraordinary acceleration for a diesel powered train. I start the train in notch 6, which is probably wrong, but it...
Ironically of course, the Metra service from Chicago to Aurora ( Racetrack ), is operated by BNSF crews under a POS agreement. And BNSF owns the...
It seems to me that DTG are pretty much ignoring the " Suggestions " sub- forum these days. Just going with the easy stuff, A- B, one train,...
And a Midwestern thing.
On commuter trains they go hand- in- hand with the bell when approaching and leaving a station stop.
Exactly my feeling too. At less than $30, it ought to be a certainty, but I can't unsee the apparent post- apocalyptic Piccadilly and the rather...
Yes indeed, as they were 20+ years ago on MSTS.
Maybe SHG could add in Yankee Stadium to this route since DTG chose to leave it out of Harlem.
Separate names with a comma.
