    Its worth noting UP still has those trackage rights, as it's still the only way to get to their line that connects to the BNSF mainline just East of Barstow that goes to Las Vegas and Utah, just that they go into the Palmdale Cutoff on the pass. But DTG forgot those trains existed when they made the original Cajon Pass in TSW3.

    Uhhh did you forget that the db red 363 is £11.99 which only includes the train and a wagon.
    So no I don’t think this is overpriced for value, hell going off your local the scotrail 158 and scotrail 380 are overpriced

    The 380 is an entirely new loco so your comparison is totally illogical. And I didn’t even mention the 363 or 158 in my original post so I’m not sure why you’ve brought them up. At the end of the day, a tsw gameplay pack has never cost this much and it’s concerning that this time it does.

    Pricing for gameplay packs seems to be all over the place and it's very difficult to see where the prices are drawn from.

    You have something like the 380 pack which had an entirely new model and timetable at $26aud.
    The 158 pack which was arguably a reskin/remodel and at the time a single timetable for $24aud.
    Then you have the cargo line packs, each at $16aud iirc.
    Thomas the tank was almost $30
    The XC/WMT Class 170 was also weirdly priced competitively.

    I guess what I'm saying is that the pricing has always been a little whacky so it's not exactly new to this gameplay pack. Maybe the developers of the DLC has some say. JT for their class 86 for example, or HIS for this pack?

    7 liverys and new timetable (2 train and 5 wagons)

    Basically my point was this is great value for money compared to the 158 and 363, and other loco packs

    timetable packs are normally more expensive, so what’s your problem?, like it’s £3 different from another loco pack, it was never going be £10 pack

    That's the thing. It's entirely different gameplay. Instead of managing timings on a commuter route, it's managing braking and speesds to prevent disaster. Different but equally fun for different people. Some German routes have enough grade to be interesting, but most UK routes are pretty tame by comparison.
    Different styles for different players.
