Well, I was supposed to go out to Boonton, NJ yesterday for their Railroad Museum for a Day, but didn't realize the Morristown Line was shut until...

Same, the controls were just so, so bad

It would really depend on the quality and my interest level. Back in the day Europeanbahn had Pageants Field for MSTS that was a pretty cool...

The Metro-North Charger has officially entered revenue service! [MEDIA] I'll be at the New Haven Open House in a couple weeks, I'm hoping they'll...

I'm well aware of the topic of conversation, however, the concept of a compromise coupler isn't limited to a single country or region. If it's...

Are you sure on that being impossible? Wasn't there a GWE scenario where a compromise coupler had to be used to tow a dead HST?

I'm not saying they don't smoke, but the DTG animation looks more like steam exhaust

Oh sure! They get a P42! Why can't we have nice things DTG?! It's starting to feel like the "We have Lego at home" meme with that damn thing... [img]

I'll be honest, I forgot all about it until I just got the notification for this thread lol Did it get any better?

Same, the discount on the bundle was the only thing that really drew me. It really is getting obnoxious to have to re-download everything now each...

I'm cautiously optimistic. As others have noted, it's a little disappointing that the route isn't going all the way to Hackettstown. I'm looking...

That's still there across the street at the old Penn, but it's also gotten a bit of a upgrade, at least the downstairs part. They've redone the...

A couple months ago I had an Amtrak conductor that was able to hook his foot on the boarding stool as we pulled into Rhinecliff, it was pretty slick

That hits

The MBTA in Boston has repainted one of their F40's into a very handsome Boston & Maine heritage scheme... [IMG]...

The Porg! Lol, love it! I hear you on the stuff stored away. Just like my model trains, I have totes and totes and totes stored away for when I...

Still pretty detailed for off-brand

Never underestimate the stupidity or ignorance of another human being

I'll add a little extra to this thread... Do you fine folks prefer the sound of mechanical bells or digital ones? Personally, for me, it depends...

No worries. We're one of the few countries on the planet that uses the damn things, so I can see their usage being a little confusing.

Rules vary railroad to railroad, but it's pretty much a general warning for when horns shouldn't/can't be used. Trains Magazine has a pretty good...

Wrong route

The red Budds have been long-gone for some time now. They would have to back-date the route to reflect their operations. There are only two...

All of the housekeeping and catering are typically done at the major end terminals (New York Sunnyside, Chicago Car Yard, LA 8th Street, Florida's...

The latest additions to my vintage collection... [img] 18 more sets to go. I'm really excited to start building my 90's Lego Town layout once we...

Had a chance to play a little and so far I like it. The strategems are a little confusing, but other than that I'm having fun. I did end up buying...

Hate to burst your bubble, but P42's don't *typically* run into Penn. While they're generally prohibited from the tunnels, they can and do make...

There's a bit more involved with them than that. For one they're designed to run off the third rail whenever it's present, which is the...

The Chargers aren't even in service yet, and there's only two on property right now

I didn't think the TSC version of the Hudson was bad aside from the length and a couple of inaccuracies. It pretty much covered all the equipment...

Nothing terribly exciting, but I did throw a few of my Xbox clips onto YouTube awhile back. I'm not a pro gamer by any means, they were just fun...

As much as I appreciate everyone's love for the SW1000, I'd honestly rather see one of the newer Amtrak work engines like the GP15, or maybe a...

Close-ish, if you're on the Harlem River Lift Bridge and look south, on a clear day you can juuuuust see the Hell Gate. Other than that, it's...

Lol you're good. I just found it amusing more than anything with your rant.

Might wanna check your spelling of the railroad in question...

Did you get your tickets for the New Haven Open House in October?

The ones branded CT Rail are the Shore Line East units owned wholly by the state, the ones with the state seal and Metro-North branding are under...

Okay, let me briefly summarize my argument then... DTG only have to model the P42 once. They do a West Coast Pack covering the routes on that...

I'm not buying that logic either. If Skyhook can do their freight packs with good scenarios for multiple routes in one DLC, then why can't DTG...

Technically CT DoT contracts the MTA to run Metro-North in CT. There's also a pool agreement with the equipment, which is why you see CT...

Very well-said, my friend!

Couple friendly corrections, Crystal... Like Killer said, the P42's on the NEC are far from every service aside from the Acela. You see them a...

I'm glad my past theories in the Suggestion Forum on the route going only as far as Stamford were proven correct. While I understand peoples'...

Will we get Arrow layers for the NY - Trenton DLC?

Haha on Amtrak we get "This train is going to be full! Please leave empty seats open and place your belongings in the overhead racks!" only to...

Same, games like Forza or NFS I always switch to an external and above camera I've had the same comments from instructors for the streetcars...

I'm *usually* not bad. Riding backwards, especially in a car, gets me more often than not, and reading a physical book or magazine in a car on...

I give you props... I've tried doing the same with my laptop a couple of times on the NEC now, and get so freaking motion sick...

Gotcha, I see what you mean now. It would probably have to be something from the IRT or BMT days, or even earlier, but even then I'm not sure how...
