OT: Do you like trains?

Oh wow I didnt need to see that! I been looking into this for a while. After msts2 went by the wayside I had been hoping for a train sim. I hope this sale goes on for a little bit, as id like to get feedback on it!
 
Hi

Thanks very much for the HU. I have been thinking of getting it for some time so am now downloading :jump::jump::jump:
 
I've downloaded game already, but haven't time to play yet. I'm assembling new bed for my daughter.

I'll try to play in the evening.
 
I noticed they have Union Pacific in there.. Do they have any of union pacifics A-B power lash ups like the gas turbines or the early GE's??
 
If it has a community like ours then the possibilities are endless. I don't know how easy that is though if your running it thru steam.
 
Wonder how long that deal lasts? Payday is next week... :kilroy:
That's really a great deal. I've been contemplating Railworks for some time.
 
It's worth it for that price. I don't use it much but every now and then I fire it up and go training! :D
 
Only like military trains. especially with arty and flak guns like Germany used and European countries in WW2. Having to dodge aircraft must be kinda fun.
 
OK, I've played for a moment with easy settings, and I like it. I'd prefer to play with Polish rolling stock, but there is nothing for Railworks, most of Polish communities are gathered around MSTS and Trainz, which I don't like (I guess I'll have to make my own models :173go1:), but there are many different locomotives in Railworks to keep me busy for a while. Graphics are OK, just lighting and shadows could be better. Here are few screenshots I did in free roam mode. I love that little steam engine :applause:





@Dain Arns - their newsletter says - offers run between 5-14th March.
 
Sadly enough I do my Dad has a massive collection and a 00 gauge layout he spends more than I do on this (I mean flight sim) 80 to 100 quid on 1 train at times, he loves the Hornby class 08 and Bachmann modern stuff, he doesn't like the steam era, I do though , so we've got a massive collection worth litterally 1000's of quid but a board thats only 4 by 3 lol and thats foot not meters!

Unfortunately I cannot get him to use a computer he hates technology and doesn't drive has no mobile phone and won't even reconise a PC lol, he's an engineeer of old and only believes in laithes and hammers lol!

that last shot Embeck is that a PUG?
 
I like trains, but I'm into the old steamers of a century or two gone by now. (1800s ... 1860 - 1865 in particular)
 
really didnt like having to join steam, and their fonts are impossible to read, even on a big screen, but ,, i was bad.. i got it :) .. downloading now.. its a nice break from doing numbers all day i think.. and since i dont have a room or garage to set up an N-scale layout, this will do nicely i think.. :)..

I've been able to locate a community of sorts here .. http://railworksamerica.com/fl/rts.html They have files, models, tutorials, buch of stuff, but its still kinda confusing.. seems they use 3D canvas to create models. Maybe Gmax or Max isnt out of the picture. i dont know,,, Gonna keep looking for other communities as well.. there must be at least a few..
