Thanks, Connie; that's much more interesting than the list available at DTG's support site. I still wonder why DTG stopped producing user's manuals and whether they intend to ever issue them for DLC that don't yet have one. I certainly am not claiming that the available manuals contain complete information, but something would be better than nothing.
EDIT: Fixed heading Regarding missing manuals, maybe some locos are covered in other route manuals? I've asked a few times myself in live streams to make manuals for all their dlc. The in game training isn't detailed enough for newcomers, and so unless you've played around with a few British, German and USA trains, a detailed manual is definitely helpful to read before getting into the game/route.
That may be possible, but you can do it on your own. On the right side above your first post there's a link named "Thread Tools", select it and than "Edit Title".
User guides and manuals have been "in production" on the Roadmap for quite some time. Some manuals for TSW 2020 were pretty good, and the original one for "Heavy Haul" ( SPG) was actually very helpful, for example. Why they stopped? I seem to recall something about the person who was writing them either moved on or was reassigned, but I'm not sure. Sam has often mentioned the subject of user manuals on the streams as something they want to do.
That's a good idea, although extant manuals sometimes lack important information they're better than nothing. I may start compiling a list of existing manuals and the engines they include -- or would you rather do that yourself?
Thanks for asking, but I'm busy with other projects. I know from owning and having bought some DLCs for TS-2021, the manuals always seem to have more thought/attention to them, than TSW I'd be interested to see the 'list' of locos that you find though.

I think this train can be identified/labelled as: Isle of Wight Class 483 I'm in my 50's and can honestly say that I have never heard that saying.
Well, Connie, I'm in my 70's and heard it long ago from my mother -- maybe it was a St. Louis thing, or maybe a Catholic saying. In any case, I don't think it's a variation of what Crosstie suggested -- not that it matters,
I may as well ask here: "Will we be getting an updated/new TSW2 Game manual from Rush Hour?" I think it's important to cover the new controller immersion features, pause screen for the gradient, as well as the tweaks to the 'white dot' and addition of TrackIR and how it works/what we need. Plus anything else new or changed, coming soon with the update.
You may wish to trim the list for TSW2 a bit. Routes that work in both games are being listed with two different manuals; however, they are both the same. Look for instance at the CN Hamilton-Oakville route. The "TSW2" manual is in fact from TSW2020. Limit the TSW2 list to those that did not exist for TSW2020.
