Haven't got the latest Trains (TRS22), but this route looks amazing, great if you like US freight. The detailing is incredible. Anyone have it? Tempted to buy TRS22, route building looks like a nice experience as well. Great looking foliage assets.
It's been quite a long time since I've dabbled with Trainz, and while I don't have that particular route, I can confirm that the route building tools (called 'Surveyor' in Trainz) are the easiest to use out of all the train sims on the market. As far as the driving goes, don't expect the same immersion or physics as DTG's products (or OR for that matter). It does have realistic and simple control schemes offered, but it's not quite as good as the competition. The only reason I really don't use Trainz any more is that the collection of content I amassed from the older editions of the base game no longer function without extensive texture and model reconfiguration, which I don't have the time, skills, or patience to mess with.
This also looks really nice as an addition to the new route and is a nicely done promo in itself: as does the whole catalog of K&L Trainz' steam locomotives.
I have never played a Trainz game (except for mobile) as I’ve never had a PC and the want for a game like that. But the P&B has always been something I’ve followed since Approach Medium started the series back in 2016-17 (I don’t remember) I loved watching the detailing and the mini stories he would include while building the route. I believe I have watched every P&B episode he’s uploaded.
