Well written DRS article on Tally-Ho Corner

[Cöunt Eastwood]

I'm (a little bit) surprised there's no mention of it here so I thought I should put that right.

If you don't already know, it's Tim Stone's (ex Rock, Paper, Shotgun) site. Comments are welcome since he'll probably read this at some point.

All I can add is that I didn't know about this game until just now (after reading said article on Tim's site) and it's now definitely on my wishlist! May I ask if it's ever on sale or in the Steam Sales and did I just miss one?

Actually there is one last thing I wanted to add and that's a sincere thanks to ‘Oskari’ for making this game in this style and not tempting to "try making it appeal to everybody". In the words of the late great Patrick McGoohan, he said something once that I think all the best game devs should know:

Trust me, you will NOT regret buying this! It is THE best train simulator out there.

I'm only waiting for the scenery update to finish and release my map :)
You can make one quite easily.
