From a dev's point of view, the proposed passenger pack would involve a lot more work. The 140 can be derived from the 110 (the originals were...
It's a great idea, but I'm not sure DTG would stretch as far as two all-new locos for an expansion pack. Perhaps more reasonably, the 140...
It would be unsurprising, since the 103 was from an engineering perspective a bigger, badder 110: same thing, just more.
In this era the IRs were generally always pulled by 103s, sometimes 110s.
Well, in fairness, most places won't let you crawl all over their valuable locomotive with cameras. DTG made a deal with some particular museum or...
I wonder which preserved locomotive was the model they used? There are 17 preserved. But this one predates 103 216, since it has the original...
That's a bit of a slander, I think. Say rather that US lines are for the most part unfenced, there is an appreciable risk of livestock or wildlife...
The problem with having the vacuum brake set is that there are sections of the line that level out, and the vacuums don't release fast enough to...
I would argue for the 140, because the 150 would essentially be a one-trick pony, whereas the 140 can be derived from the existing 110, and be...
Dang, that looks gorgeous
Don't touch the friction brakes except to stop. Those Ge 4/4s were built with insanely powerful dynamic brakes, expressly for the purpose of...
I got the impression that on the stream they had visual quality turned down, probably to keep the framerate up.
I had a small update on Steam today, but it only modified the core; SFSJ hasn't been modified since October.
:D
Not so.
The produktfarben coaches were fine (I especially like the IRs' two-tone blue), but unfortunately they came with Orientrot locos, which to me was...
I certainly wouldn't object to them appearing in ocean blue and ivory, which IMHO was the most attractive livery DB has ever used (not counting...
There's your problem. The right .ini settings can ameliorate the stuttering quite a bit (it isn't affected by draw distance or antialiasing...
That's entirely possible; goodness knows there were a lot of blue-beige survivals in '97! And I have definitely seen pics of a few cobalt blue...
I can't agree there; the D-trains were using m-Wagen, but they were painted mint green like the Silberlinge were and so I think the current setup...
Still trying to sell the myth that 3 stutters more than 2 did?
Or TSW2 route
I am mildly disappointed, but not surprised, that there isn't a realistic diversity in the built landscape, which is a great part of this route's...
Agreed. The 101s came from the factory in traffic red; they've never been any other color.
In fairness, the routes themselves aren't generally soulless - although SKW comes close - but the rolling stock is, except for the 612 and the...
If DTG do another 90s route they're going to have to take on the IRs; the era isn't complete without them
Because an all-traffic red loco (with a completely different cab layout) is obviously blatantly wrong, while a white train with a narrow stripe in...
I have to say, the trees on the hillsides are rather sparse- not as bad as MSB (still yet Arosa!), but still, IRL those hills are heavily...
I spotted the donkey!
No. Using the 110 as a freight locomotive is just... wrong.
Myself I'm rather mystified as to why the GTEL is considered "iconic" in some circles. It was a bad locomotive, which UP got rid of as soon as...
Amazing. We finally after six years get our first and only 20th century German route from DTG, and already the plastic-train set are demanding it...
In either case, the route would have to get a full makeover for the vintage era in question.
I'm not suffering economic hardship, but only very rarely do I buy DLC at full price. I generally always wait for the sale, with the exception of...
No need to get insulting. In DTG game-speak, an "L" code applies to anything with its own motive power.
I see on the IC cars they replaced the outside PIS screens with the old-style card holders. This is a model, but I couldn't find a real 107 pic...
And we will finally have a mainline German diesel locomotive.
But then they would call attention to themselves as unfinished. Having some sort of text, any text, creates a different impression. On modern...
I am not as bothered by the 401 as many seem to be. As an AI "scenery" train twice a day it's pretty unobtrusive, and when it whooshes by at a...
"Put in ETCS." Y'all do realize that Greece is broke?
The ones I hate are those that 1) Are practically invisible, like fallen logs and holes in chain-link fences 2) Are located out in the middle of...
No, he isn't The Boss. Or at least not The Big Boss. Matt has to work under the deadlines and budgets handed down to him from above.
Interestingly, the Köln-Aachen route is home to no fewer than three ocean-blue V 60s in private hands: this one, and a 261 and 365 operated by the...
Even by the time of the re-engining, it had been ten years since the change from blue to Orient red. Besides, if a loco goes into the works for...
Please. This crash was down to one thing only: a failing journal bearing (hot box), not detected by the trackside sensors until it was too late....
Props to TSG for doing the 365 instead of just cloning the 363 (didn't exist until 1997) yet again. They're subtly different beyond the...
They could have layered in local freight with the BR 204, which is a dual-purpose engine. Unless 97 is too early for an ex-DR shunter to be seen...
Tragically my German isn't good enough to understand him.
Depending. They could work with older coaches with axle generators, but since they didn't have a bus bar (HEP) they couldn't supply the newer...
There are plenty of release windows, the excuse being proffered for the eternal delay- but new releases (= cash) plus patches for the new...
Separate names with a comma.
