Using a bit of magic with scenario planner and the creators club, I was able to put together what this loco DLC should of looked like at bare...
Going thru some more research, ATSF 347C, was restored by the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1980's for the California State Railroad Museum. It was...
Seems like DTG based this F7 off 347C, which is currently preserved at the CSRM in Sacramento. And that loco has had that marking since the...
Anyone who owns a certain TSW3 route should know where I was today..... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Bigger, longer, heavier, slower, tougher.
[ATTACH] Construction crews work on daylighting one of the 2 tunnels on Cajon Pass sometime in 2007 in preparation for BNSF addition of the 3rd...
The Warbonnet paint on the F-Units is so iconic, it even somewhat made it to Austria. [ATTACH]
I wonder why that would be? Lots of players, as least from what I've seen would prefer older US content to modern stuff. People seem to like the...
Union Pacifc used to have their E-Units, as well as 6936 pull some of these, but they've since stopped doing it, I have no clue what's with the UP...
Those are OCS trains, or Office Car Specials. Usually each class 1 retains a handful of passenger coaches, so that the executives and higher ups...
They need to fix the pathing for scenario planner on Cajon Pass 1st, since every train in each direction uses Track 3 on the Pass. Also, your...
More work could of went into this pack to make it better, but it seems some corners were cut for reasons. There were formations for the ATSF F7s...
Shh, you can't say those 2 words...
Especially since this pack is supposed to cater to new players, but if those new players are possibly hardcore railfans, them looking at the F7...
Locomotives can run without ditchlights on modern mainlines, but they cannot exceed 20mph. There is times at a local grain elevator where the UP...
Man, I though we had some dirty locos here in the States, but that takes the entire cake, as well as some cupcakes too.
IIRC someone in the TSC discord they didn't do them cause research into the cars would of required a trip to the US.
So you don't have to turn the locos around in a yard at a wye, you just switch cabs.
IIRC, there is an actual limit of how many B-Units you could theoretically have controlled by a single A unit. Not sure what the number is, but...
No, before the introduction of HEP, power was provided by Steam Generators, either in their own car, or from certain locomotives. The F7A and F7B...
This is a B-Unit, not a crew wagon. [ATTACH]
Crew wagon? Are you talking about the B-Units? [ATTACH] The B units are basically cabless units, controlled by the A units. The amount of them...
It depends on which car they were going to model. I'm pretty sure not much, if any, of the El Capitans Budd Hi-Levels are owned by a private...
Not to mention it pulling modern stock.... Model Train Sim World.... EDIT: So from what I'm hearing around is that Passenger acars were planned...
The Santa Fe only had 20 SD40s though, so not much on that roster, and the SD40-2s were built starting in 1972, and by that time the ATSF started...
That SD80MAC somehow rolled into the turntable pit at the Cumberland Shops, though it would be interesting to post since Cumberland is in TSW
The problem is that track isn't supposed to be there, there is no track there in real life, that entrance isn't for locomotives. Why DTG added...
Updated the roster for Cajon Pass
So with the ATSF F7 being a bit of a disappointment for a few of us, here is an idea for something that would be more appropriate for the...
Ok, why are there a bunch of new members liking my posts?
Yeah, the Superfleet paint would of made a nice change of color from the H3 paint of the ES44s on mainline runs. The C40-8W patched or worn.......
I think this is just an oversight by the freight car substitution system for Oakville, since whatever car at the end will have the EOTD that is...
Granted would personally still be annoyed with that, but it is what it is. EDIT: Also, alot of us NA railfans are pretty stingy when it come to...
Because it could of been done better All we ask is DTG make something at least somewhat realistic with these packs. There isn't anything wrong...
So what if it drives or looks different. It's still way out of its era and timeline for what DTG is trying to accomplish with it. Should of held...
Those are technically not true ATSF F7s. Their actual heritage is from the Southern Pacific, one is a SP unit, the other is a TNO unit (TNO was a...
If you can't tell the 2 apart, then someone needs their eyes checked..... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] If they wanted to do something like that, why not put...
Imagine if they did put that effort into an SD70ACe, especially a Whisper Cab Variant with the headlight on the nose, then we could use the...
Easy fix, don't do a modern route. Lots of good locos to pick from before the 2000's. EMD F3A/B FP7A/B F9A/B FP9A/B GP7/B GP9/B GP30/B GP35...
The F7 feels more like something you would see on a model railroad layout.... A historic loco with modern cars on a modern route? Alot of us hard...
For Union Pacific The SD70M, which they roster a ton, for BNSF, they have the fleet of Ex-BN Executive SD70MACs, as well as the rarer SD75M and...
[ATTACH] Since opening in 1939, Los Angeles Union Station has been the terminus for long distant trains, mainly from Chicago. Trains such as...
Don't forget the SD40-2 and it's cousin the SD40.
They did run like that later in life though.... [ATTACH]
I already said what I said earlier, and Ill keep my stance, much more better options that this... And now it doesn't even come with period stock?...
Wow, the F7 is even worse that I thought, you guys at DTG couldn't even give it proper rolling stock to run with..... The only nice thing about...
Imagine if a future US route had a realistic cold start for a steam locomotive.....
At this rate they might as well cancel it, what's the point of having a contest if they cant even run it properly.
VRC included the rusted C30-7 due to it being part of a career scenario, its a shame they are no longer around to develop good NA Loco DLCs
I mean in reality, not every train is taking track 3 down Cajon Pass.
