I must admit I too am having a hard time understanding the relationship ( if there is one) between the streams, the roadmap and the updates. I was...

I believe the "donut" was invented in the Netherlands, so maybe one of our Dutch members can settle this very important question.

I have two rules. 1. Keep all games on their own internal drive. 2. Keep all games on a different drive from your Windows installation.

Appreciate the effort, but projecting that far ahead is a bit pointless. In any case, all the dates are wrong. Tomorrow, for instance, is 4/6/21.;)

That's exactly what I've always done when held up by a red light. On a single track road, it should happen if, for instance, you are late or too...

Amazing what those guys have done in TS20XX. Close to TSW2 in terms of functionality. Kind of gives you a clue about the learning curve for...

Yes, an SP GS4 "Daylight" would be very nice. Would need a new route, though.

The 101 is becoming one of my favorite trains to drive!! Amazing because I spend most of my time on American freight. But the Raildriver makes it...

You can see the prime mover and other components, but it looks a bit skeletal. And I don't see any cab access. Don't want visitors trying to climb up?

Oh, is it ever!? It would be a fearful task to model the fully functioning cab of a Challenger, for instance. Even the exterior of one of those...

Ah, OK thanks for the correction.

Yes, and, of course, the greater power was why CSX eventually switched to AC locos (AC4400CW and SD70 and 80MAC) almost exclusively, for coal...

Good find. And what were the 2 pushers? In game, they would have to be SD's, I guess, but in reality, probably a couple of Geeps?

I'm not sure but I think that by 1992-3, the C30-7's were pretty much replaced by Dash 8's. I suppose there might have been some still hanging...

I know we're all looking forward to the F7, and I'm no exception. But the CRR had a very diverse roster and I still wish we were getting at least...

I've been doing this very thing for years. I also ask Santa and other close friends and relatives to give me Steam cards for Christmas and...

Yes, that is a standout feature of the TSW version. Apart from the Haysi branch, the TS edition, though very good, was pretty much a straight run...

Yes, I have the same headphones, the wired version. I also have high end speakers. I made the choice to go with the headphones for TSW2, so I...

Well, as you toned down your initial post and your second is a reasonable one, I say fair enough, let's wait and see. By the way, being delayed by...

Do you have anything positive to say or do you always assume the worst? The route hasn't even seen the light of day and you're already trashing...

Sounds like a connection or electrical problem. I disconnected my subwoofer after a short time because I didn't think it really added anything to...

There's also the Hiawatha service, which has 5 stops between downtown Chicago and downtown Milwaukee. First stop is Glenview, about 22 miles from...

Do you mean a "General Discussion" forum like they have next door (in TS202X)? Might be a good idea because, right now, if someone has a question,...

So we have the transition lever, the MU valve, the unit selector and the dynamic brake, all of which are modeled in some fashion. We can be quite...

Thanks, that's exactly what I meant. Unfortunately, I'm American, so English isn't my first language.:)

The EMD manual does say that manual transition must be used in the lead loco unless all of the trails are automatic. However, my understanding of...

I don't think it was ever a problem to lash up any EMD locos, including mixing F7's and F3's, for instance. There must have been a way for, say, a...

I believe the F7 had auto transition series- parallel, though earlier F units had manual controls. Somehow, it was possible to lash different...

Hallelujah!

I've always assumed everybody did this when reversing a train. How else can you see what you're doing through switches, signals etc.? I never back...

The only problem I recall having with this service was that, after running the hoppers through the tipple, the objective would not advance because...

Oh dear. I'm ashamed to say I'm only in the 60's. I guess I have a life. :)

I'm pleading the 5th.

Oh, yes that's right. So my fact checking was a little off. Apologies.

You may have a point, but, if memory serves me right, the TS202X version was also set in the "early 80's". However, the initial article for the...

Excellent idea. I bought the "Diesel Legends" pack partly because I wanted to encourage this kind of add-on. I hope it's selling well. The split...

Great article, Gary. This route has so much potential, especially if we ever get to make our own consists. It hasn't changed in any fundamental...

And me! Just about word for word. Are we bad? :D

I too have largely avoided steam engines in TS20XX because I couldn't get the hang of driving them, running out of water or stalling on gradients...

I enjoy all the switchers I've driven so far, the363, MP15 and the 08. They're all a little different, quirky in their own way and full of...

And that's fine with me. After the coal loading services in Sand Patch, which took forever, I'm like, "been there, done that". Delivering empty...

That might be a while, seeing as it's over 2,000 miles. Bit of a tall order for TSW2.:D

Gone eerily quiet on the Clinchfield front.:(

Your wish has just been granted.

Well, Raildriver is actually a pretty hefty piece of equipment. It can be abused and misused, of course, like anything else, but there are plenty...

Have to agree. Very few people in the forum know how to write poll questions with objectivity. That's why I ignore most of them.

There's no mystery about using the dynamic brake on a locomotive. If you've learned how to use it effectively on, say, Sand Patch Grade, it...

I took my first full length trip down from Arosa to Chur and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. After reading all the criticism of the...

Thanks for posting. The more buzz Raildriver gets the better. Keeps it on the front burner for TSW2
