Considering that this route is the better part of 4 years old, and if DTG have invested a significant amount of time in a better, fuller...
Actually, the British brick looks a lot more substantial and safe than the one I'm looking at now, a great heavy thing plugged into the wall with...
Ah yes, it's what we over here would call a power brick, which might plug directly into a wall outlet or be a separate ac/dc transformer.
Is that one of those monster UK 230's?
Agree wholeheartedly. Although I'd be pleased to see a revamp and additional services for LIRR, the M9 is not very exciting. My TSW collection is...
Not really. The women who fought for the right to vote in both the UK and US were mostly white and middle class and many were also involved with...
Biggest disaster is still NYT. Could have been so much more, the definitive US mixed passenger/ freight route but now pathetically abandoned....
Finally got around to watching the preview stream for this route. Positives: Very good modeling overall, which, after 7 years of experience, is...
I'd be surprised if this were true. This poster has much better grammar, spelling, punctuation and paragraphing than the other guy. So, unless he...
Would be happy to see a Welsh Marches route with BR47, 43 or Cambrian Coast with 1st or 2nd generation DMU.
Yes I got it in the previous sale ( for less than half price thank goodness ) and had the same reaction. That prison cell view coupled with the...
Shaking my head and rolling my eyes in disbelief.
I feel very much the same way. For me, TSW is shrinking fast to a level where all that's available is and will be modern commuter lines which lack...
German routes: 2 UK routes: 2 US routes: 0!!
Always use my Steam Wallet for purchases. Feels safer.
Sounds good. I'll give it a whirl. I just hope the save function is working well.
Well I have great respect and admiration for those who create mods, but I don't use them myself because I believe it's up to DTG to improve their...
Well all those golden oldies like NTP, TVL, SPG and GWE could benefit from a refresh which will unfortunately never come. But I'll take them as...
Nah, you're good. And some octos are a little confused and confusing to be sure.
Easy my friend. I'm getting close to that milestone and I'm as sharp as a tack or so I'm told. No need to cut an 80 year old any slack, despite...
What could possibly be " off topic " for this thread? ;)
It doesn't matter how well Goblin is built, there is no way that a 13 mile A to B route with one emu can possibly match the route mileage and...
If the EP and members of his team are so passionate about steam traction ( and freight for that matter ), they should go out and hire people with...
If you really read my post, I made it very clear that this POV was my personal opinion and that everyone feels immersion differently, and I...
Immersion means different things to different players. The most immersive for me is being in the cab of a big American diesel with lots of...
Yes, as I suggested in another thread, everything else in the universe is expanding while TSW is shrinking. No more steam traction, no more...
I think that route mergers, networking and terminus sharing along with the ability to add branches to existing lines will all come about...
As others have pointed out, it makes no logical sense for DTG, with all their resources and technical experience, to abandon steam traction and...
Good luck with the Lake Shore Ltd. It's only just a little over 1,000 miles. And, as for " high speed " the journey time is only 19-20 hours. Will...
The notion of " console only " anything in TSW is arrant nonsense.
Yes, I haven't commented on this wretched situation wrt US content, because I'm basically speechless. If anything ever materializes ( beyond...
Well, somethings definitely gone awry with TSW. They're not doing steam traction anymore, not doing US freight for the foreseeable future,...
Yes, I watched a cab ride and monotonous it is. And it may be short but it takes forever to get from start to finish. Most of it was at 30 mph.or...
The amount of extra work involved would justify it as a new and separate route. Or do you think that routes should never be done over? If LIRR 2...
" lighting that recreates the suburban atmosphere after the sun has gone down. " Is this to prepare us for black as coal night lighting again?...
Chances are slim to none that DTG would extend any current routes. However, there's nothing to stop them rebuilding a route with a built in...
Widely known only to you I guess, along with Marias and Donner.
If you're talking sales, I already suggested that such a train set would likely be very popular this side of the pond and maybe the other side...
You're very fond of telling us how things are " hard work " or " too hard " for DTG to do. As if the folks in Chatham are terminally tired and...
True. The hassle of flying, even domestically, means that routes like Chicago to Milwaukee, St Louis, Indianapolis and other Midwestern cities are...
If DTG were to make an Amtrak trainset that would run on TSW's current freight routes like Cajon or SPG, I'm convinced it would sell like hot...
Rather tired of reading the words " can't do " or " can't have " in relation to TSW. I've always preferred a " can-do " attitude myself.
The Preservation Team was quite small, as i recall, just 4 people including Adam, the team leader. A 4 person team dedicated to bringing existing...
As would Sand Patch.
Well congrats! You've managed to be fawning and condescending at the same time. No mean feat. I'm not denigrating Matt's efforts in any way....
Perhaps you're right. There have been so many promises deferred ( to use the kindest word ), it's hard to know which of them should be...
What list would that be? I didn't realise we had to choose which promises will be kept and in what order. Anyway, I'll eat every hat in my closet...
It's not meant to be " true ". It's a metaphor for small changes in one area leading to major problems in another. Like someone at DTG solving...

Actually, ditch lights on North American locos date back at least to the 1960's. The FRA made them mandatory for mainline locos sometime in the...
