    Yes, They are excellent. There are quite a few where you can join them together providing a long, memorable and enjoyable experience. No sale at present.

    They have a different art style from others. Whether it's to your tastes is something only you can decide.

    Newer routes have better vegetation than older.

    All give you lots of mileage for your money. They tend to be frame rate easy, especially the older routes. Medium to distant rural views can look much more convincing than DTG's

    Track has ballast shoulders that are too high and steep. Super elevation is pronounced. Vegetation can be a bit lurid.

    Any of the Salzburg to . . . routes would be a good introduction to them.

    any route where track is just plonked down on grass is immediately disqualified by me

    I am a big fan. The visuals are not fantastic - I think DTG probably does a better job in-house with those - but the design of the route is really well done and the appropriate care is taken to get the signaling, track work, and magnets right. Unlike DTG’s early offerings you won’t get dinged for an unsigned speed restriction or pass a yellow that clearly was not supposed to be yellow. That’s what I really care about and that’s what they get right.

    I do wish there was more variety in rolling stock especially for scenarios. The default OBB 1016 isn’t great. I do however like their design of the Talent EMUs (4023).

    I suggest purchasing from RSSLO directly instead of through Steam which will give you access to updates and (I think) better scenarios. They have flash sales fairly often which are announced via email newsletter and also on the sale thread on this forum.

    Read the title of this thread - everyone else managed to work out what he was asking.

    RSSLO routes are ok... yes, they all have similar look to them. Passau-Regensburg is good, I also like the highspeed line out of Vienna.
