    I would have liked to view them, but they are showing up as blank spaces for me, noticed this happening with a few things on the forum but not everything

    It's fascinating to see so many trains coming and going.

    Oooooooh looks great, very excited for Acela and more NEC content. Have been getting back into Boston Sprinter this past week and it's been a nice reminder of what a nice blend it is for local stoppers and non-stop high speed, so I am looking forward to even more traffic with the Acela popping in from time to time. Also great as the carriages use the passive pendular tilt tech so should look interesting in the corners close up!

    Yes. It was shown in the preview video I believe and the speed control handle was being used

    I wish there was a tutorial on security systems, now that it seems that it is finally fixed and we will be able to use it. Knowing it properly can be very important for immersion.

    found some info on Wikipedia... according to the info, it has max tilt of around 6 degrees and activates at around 60 mph... some ppl with more knowledge in here also told me that the power cars dont tilt, only passenger coaches :)
