Still had enough in the Steam kitty from the last sale to get the BR 101. Plus Portal 2 for $1.99! Awesome bonus.

This makes me happy, because I've been wanting to dive into Peninsula but have been holding off until the (it seemed) imminent preservation pass...

A search for vintage railroad on YouTube turns up quite a bit. For example, the Steam Channel has this playlist:...

I see your point, OldVern, but like the others above, I just see it the same as the litter you'll find alongside the tracks--part of the...

Agreed. In period-appropriate dress, of course. I especially want to see them in the steam route with giant 1958 flash cams.

This is really impressive.

With only the one font, how do you do this kind of lettering? Adding shapes to make serifs? And 2400 layers? I thought the limit was 300.

Yes, this was talked about by Matt in (I think) the Sherman Hill stream. He suggested ignoring the higher speed limit and staying to 30 mph when...

The BNSF license came out of nowhere and was something many people expected would never be doable. I expect there's always silent background work...

I got three. Did you look up top of the Steam client in your messages?

I couldn't really justify buying more after spending too much on the winter sale, but I still had enough left over in Steam to buy the 465 for $5.

I just did this one again the other day and got a score of 7600, which is the exact score needed for gold. Possibly speeding might be the issue...

conniethunder has compiled a pretty extensive list of manuals and guides:...

As long as SPG is being discussed, I've just finished replaying the journeys on PC (Steam), and noticed some sound issues. The windshield wiper...

I'm at a loss to think of something that better demonstrates the futility of trying to please everyone than people actually complaining that a...

Kudos to you for owning it, but don't sweat it too much. If only the worst mistake I made at work was missing a checkbox....

Just saw Joe's post in the other thread. Good to know!

Matt said in the stream that the real 612 has ten services. The timetable he showed has what looks to be a complete workday for it, with eight...

DTG has said that derails/crashes will never happen, period. The licensors don't want it and DTG doesn't want to do it.

I stand corrected--I've never played this service. I had assumed it was one of the many shunting services in the Journeys, but Y108 and Y109 are...

I just did this again the other day with no issues. I seem to remember another pair of locomotives sitting in the yard, but they weren't in my...

I've started doing that, too (though I don't always remember--ow). But I would also like the headphones themselves to last as long as possible;...

I kinda wish the opening cinematics would use the in-game volume settings so my ears don't get blasted on startup.

I got home from work about 15 minutes after the stream ended :(. Watched it and was successfully sold on the 363. I wish there was a...

Hear, hear! There's no doubt that the people doing the work are working hard, and it shows in the impressive complexity of the product. A thank...

Cool! Gotta echo what others are saying about taking care of yourself, though. If you want to do a stream, because being sick is boring, then...

If there's something(s) that didn't make either top ten that you're especially fond of, play it and sell us on it.

Okay, went into the Steam sale with a $100 budget and picked up the following: Routes: Tees Valley, Clinchfield, RRO, LGV, HMA, Oakville Locos:...

On one of the high speed lines, go around to the rear cab and drive the entire service backwards. Would the game let you do that?

Thanks much for the informative replies! The potential buy list is getting kinda long, but I'll throw the 155 and 20 on there for starters.

I've flagged Heavy Freight for $4.99, Oakville for $2.99, and RRO & Tees Valley for $7.49 each as easy slam dunks. Seeking opinions on the...

Freight train bisected by one of the Kentucky tornadoes. One train car was dropped on a house 75 yards away. [ATTACH] Full story:...

That's a cool idea. Seconded. One thing I've been thinking I'd love to see is a TSW version of the Discovery Tour feature in recent Assassin's...

NQuarter If you want to confirm that the banking comm is working, you can look in the window of the rear lead loco with the camera and use your...

Second this. A lot of effort showed on the screen there. Spectacular job.

Re. 15: How fast you were going? Matt stressed in today's streams that 30 mph is the sweet spot, and faster especially gives diminishing returns.

Oh, duh, seems obvious now.

9. What in the world is that thing on the left? 11. I think Matt was talking about this when he said in the stream that it wasn't working right...

My guess would be it's the result of the legal team covering all bases. Points for a quality clickbait headline for a collection of logos, though.

Some 1940s Chicago railyard pictures. https://www.bygonely.com/chicago-rail-yards-1940s/

Whoa. Not much you can do there but climb onto the loco and praise the sun. [ATTACH]

How does this compare with the Epic store's policies?

Thanks! Looking forward to it.

The video is still up on Twitch, which is kind of a hole in the suppression conspiracy thing. Plus, problems are brought up and discussed on...

Not a question for the stream, but just to double-check: Is the start time actually 22:00 and not the usual 20:00 as also given in the schedule?

Oh, good to know. Thanks for setting me straight. I grew up in a house right next to the C&NW (now Metra) Union Pacific North Line and would...

Makes sense. Maybe my train was mostly empty. I don't think I've ever seen a train that big going through the city proper before. If a train is...

A few years ago a car I was in stopped for a freight train heading into Chicago that had two locomotives pulling a bit over 200 cars. In the flat...
