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

We have to keep talking it up.

There really isn't much to write home about at the moment. Matt hinted recently that the next preview/stream on Clinchfield would come with...

It's an idea I hadn't thought of. I'm sure I have an old one somewhere. But it's been years and the relearning curve might be too steep,...

Yes, no stars on some winter services on PC, clear, cloudy or snow. The Moon is there, though, so all is not lost. I recall that you've had...

Never noticed that before. I just set all the switches in advance before I start moving and then assume they stay that way. I might check the map...

My wife bought me one of those very chunky Steam gift cards for Christmas. Since I wasn't interested in the 2 high speed routes, it remained...

Yes, I'd almost forgotten this one. It's serendipitous. First few times, the train didn't move or only accelerated to about 10-15 mph. But then it...

The lack of RD support for Arosalinie was a big disappointment, but it didn't stop me buying the route. However, I probably will not play it much...

It does look like the lights are flashing, though.

Yes, good eye. I'd agree with those points, especially the river water. It looks a little too reminiscent of the sea in IoW. But, overall, it...

Well, the speed limits on the stretch modeled for TSW2 don't generally exceed about 30mph. Further south, there are sections with speeds of 50mph,...

Hate to show my ignorance, but, as next generation consoles have more horsepower, and at least 16 GB of memory, can they access these extra layers?

Darn it, stujoy! We were all closet nerds until you just outed us.:D

It just occurred to me, reading your post: are there any routes in TSWx where you see airplanes overhead? You would expect them just about...
