Look at the roadbed in photo in 9g. Now I'm pleased they've given it shape but doesn't that angle look like, oh, maybe 60 degrees? Should be about 30 degrees for the US. Are European roadbeds sharp like this picture?Dave Nelson Aug 1950

In Europe, that inclination is 3/2, so that makes 56,30993247402021308647450543834 degrees precisely.

I noticed that in all of the screens they show, they never show the NS SD-70. I would like to see that.

I'm hoping that steam isn't final. I think it's worse than the MSTS steam.-Jeff

You have to grin, really!The third shot (....9h), where the loco is easing up to the turntable, has the smoke streaming back from the 'stack as if the thing is belting along at a hundred miles-per-hour! No wonder there's nobody in sight!! Bruce.

Re: Steam picsInteresting texture rendering and color usage. Perhaps it's the screen grab software/whatever... but it reminds me of PRR promo paintings from just before/during WW2.Andre Ming

Andre,I see what you mean, and here's why: these aren't "screenshots," they're photographs of the screen. That explains for the fuzziness (the constantly-refreshing monitor), the exaggerated colors, and the blurred ties in #1 where the train is moving at speed. Plus, the title of the page references the E3 expo, and all pics coming from there have been actual camera photography.Looking closely at pic 09i, the DB passenger train, I think I can make out caterary wires - real ones, not the auto-gen stuff in MSTS 1. For all electrified routes, that would be a major improvement. Even better if routes could be only partially electrified.Alex Stroshane

Alex, you are correct, there are Lines in the 9i pic. they are hard to see but look right around the grass area and you can see them..I just hope you can have partial electric, which I think someone said they asked, but I have a gut feeling I remember the answer being no, or atleast at the moment it was....Thanks,

I swear that it looks like the turntable moved 1 track to the right.
In the last pic of the steam loco before the ones of the passenger train, there are 3 tracks to the right of the table, in the last pic on the list, it looks like there are only 2 tracks to the right of the table. I don't know.Later NW 1218 LONG LIVE THE F40C!
