AW - very good 331 and 333 both great, Florida - ok - locos are good. Nurnberg is framerate hell. ICE4 is good. DB BR440 crashes to desktop if you ahve AI Conductor turned on. Freight Hauler needs more time in the oven. Live Weather only suits local players playing at the current time of day where they are. Epic settings and DLSS/DLAA are a total game changer.

This is silly but fun. Not too grindy. Days go by well. Treating the postal truck like your own personal GTA vechicle is perfect. I keep finding awesome places to launch it from.

Quite hard to master and while I am still learning this game is fun.

The tanker model is visually excellent. There's a couple of mistakes on the controls that Skyhook will fix in a future release. The services on Manheim Kaiserslautern are ok but really I would like to see it running on more routes. The scenarios just come across as services with no story. I think on this one wait for a sale unless you really need the white tankers in your life.

This version of cargo line includes a class 20 one of my favourite UK locomotives because I've driven a real one. This one is fairly close to reality. The nuclear load gives you a rush mindset to avoid it being captured. Fun in your own mind.

Lets start with the positives. The route is really nice by TSC standards. It evokes feelings of Colorado. The rolling stock is the same that you get with Clear Creek. It looks decent and has a spot of weathering. Not really enough for gritty narrow guage where no one spent any money ever on anything. Now onto the negatives, as per past releases this is the same broken B4D we've had before. Brakes are terrible. Steam physics are terrible. To get it to go up hill it just loves 100% throttle and 80% reverser. This much draft would launch your fire into orbit and use all of your water not to mention give your fireman a heart attack. The B4D is the bigger brother of the trains I fire IRL. The B4D would easily pull a 100t train up a 4% gradient with the reverser about five notches off the end and 120 pounds in the chest, but no we have to be rediculous about it. To keep your train moving you often have to run with the sand key pressed nearly all the time. There are times when it will run with 56% reverser up the hill which is a lot more realistic but it won't reliably do that. I would really hope that MP fix the B4D because it makes a good route quite disappointing. I ran it on a live stream which you can watch here https://youtube.com/live/EUrKdvL4zVA?feature=share where I talk about the good the bad and the ugly. If you want to fix the B4D with ts-tools then consider this route, otherwise I would wait for a sale.

Its cute. Takes a while to get through the stories but at least you can fast forward. I changes as you progress from a light hearted puzzler to become dark learning of the death of a beautiful young woman. Both a sad and happy ending together. It is cool that Makato and Shiro find each other in the end.

Quite a bit of fun and more importantly it does not feel grindy. You can see nice visual progress. You can see my full playthrough of the demo at https://youtu.be/cTMLV68b-gY?si=-wIy_OzbDlrUiSVz

I've put in a few hours and I really enjoy the graphics and train sounds. The train accelleration and braking is excellent. The limited routes and services concern me for long term play options. Hopefully additional routes will come. Fake routes and trains don't really worry me as the umistakable feel of Japan is there which is the main element. I'd love station jingles and more ambient sounds from outside. I would really like to get Raildriver and TSC-X support or at least generic joystick support.

I get most people seemed to like this, but for me the mechanics worked but were not interesting. The game play with the little mini quests did not interest me and after nearly two hours of gameplay I just quit. It isn't my cup of tea clearly.
