Well, looking through all the goodies, some on sale, i get more and more confused. Some loc addon seems interesting enough, but reading the 'small' print often indicates tha you have to buy a whole route as well. Of course at a price ... Anyone accidentally bought some bagged cat not knowing that?
Not entirely true. Most of the German cargo engines can be used on any German route, regardless of whether you have it "homeport" installed or not. (EDIT: Apart from RT, which has no cargo services) If yes, the fault is on them for being too lazy to read.
That's me .... especially remembering what i read too. A checklist about what is needed would be useful, and on the website on checkout of course.
Maybe something like on the Steam workshop: When you subscribe to a workshop item that requires another item to work, a warning pops up, Hey, subscribe to that too please! You'll need it!" Not in these words of course. For TSW, if you want to buy a loco for which you don't have the route, a similar warning. "What the hell do want with another LIRR train if you don't even have the LIRR route? Huh?!" Again, probably not the most marketing-friendly wording but you get the idea! But that would probably by Steam's responsibility to introduce, not much Dovetail can do there...
