I am getting the game from "Santa" and I have read a fair amount on it and i have to agree with some of the other comments about the diesel engines that are available! They are very limited in turn to steam engine selection!!! This was also the case for RRT2, I like the SD45, and Dash-9 but they made them dogs!!! I can see the same thing happing for RRT3! I was disappointed to not see the SD-40-2, the most popular, best running diesel of all time!!! How about the GP-38? I know it is hard to include a wide variety, but come-on!
I also read another comment about the large numbers of European senerios and I have to agree that I too don't care for them and would like more north american stuff!!! I sure hope they will be included in the update mentioned.
Thanks

In my opinion, The game is great. In my opinon, the game is good as it is, and I look forward to RRT4 The only a few things I would improve. Perhaps more scenarios in the North East, Like NYC. Also, some more commuter activtires liek RRT2. Also, a feture where you can be inside the locomotive cab, and inside the passenger cars. Also, the cars be updated more often, and more modern American. Other wise, it is very good. -NHtrain

Steam is the lead designers favorite locomotive type and it's also where the most "romance" has been to some extent. If all goes well we'll have tools to let moders make new locos and skins. We're also making new maps and have some new locomotives to release soon.

If you look at the "Locomotion" chart that came with the game, the dates the locomotive has been in service are stated. If you look at the Challenger, you can buy the locomotive for your railroad from any year between 1942-1983. For the Big Boy, it's available for any year between 1945-1971.EDIT: BTW, it's a great game. As others have said, graphics are impressive, sound is good, and although this is my first full RTT game, it's fun.MTA Going your way for 100 years. 1904-2004

imho the game is great. Maybe not perfect, but we would wait forever for perfect. I know it must be a difficult process trying to please both train sim fans and strategy game fans in the same package. It seems right now you guys are busy with the initial patches, but any word on a time line for release of the modding enhancement?

Cheers:Looks great. I especially like the dynamic environment (day, morning, night, sun, rain, etc.)I really like the maps and the way you can pan and zoom through them.Also like having tunnels and spanning trestles to work with.Jeers:No more managers (minor)Only one major jeer. It drives me crazy having to cope with ridiculously steep and roller coaster grades everywhere, including areas of low hills. By using a short piece of track in RT2, I could play civil engineer and build a properly graded line. I know about the Post Office/ Bulldoze routine, but that gets monotonous as well as unreasonably expensive for one grid square at a time.I don't know if you can add some sort of in-game track/terrain leveling tool as part of a future patch, but it would ensure the survival of the game's place on my hard drive. One more cheer though:Thanks for taking our commments and/or abuse here, its great when a developer is interested in what their customers have to say about it.Best Regards,Matt

I have the game, and obviously the developer is a steam lover...which is great, but the title should reflect the "historical" theme of the game. It has nearly every steam and electric engine that ever was, but only 2 modern well-known diesel-electric locomotives...that sucks, but I agree with the graphics, great. And I agree with the fact that it has few N American scenarios. My main beef is the AI...its idiotic. Even a well profiting railroad are running steam locos in 2025, and the trains consist of 3 cars, like a grain car, a passenger car and a goods (container) car...totally unrealistic...but its makin money??
And the cities are not represented realistically, Chicago is usually pretty elaborate, but go to Ft Wayne (my hometown) and theres like 3 houses...thats it...now I know Ft Wayne is alot larger than that, and its railroad trackage and RR history is alot more important than the game shows. It would be a perfect "in between" station between Chicago and Detroit. Sure, I could design my own map, but I didnt buy the game to do that! Im stricken with insanity to design routes in MSTS, I dont want to mess around with map design in RT3 too!Overall, the game is nice, the track layin issue about tracks that look like roller coaster routes through hills needs fixed, the layout with supply/demand screens at stations Ive yet to understand, I open station menue and I cant figure out what to hull where cause on the bottom of the screen when you put the cursor over a certain commodity, it says "12 loads availibe" at that station, then you open the station viewer and it says that station has no supply of that same commodity...Ill admit it kinda keeps me from playin much. Thats an important feature and the manual dont explain it enough for me, so I run my RR into the ground while AI runs their 3 little "mixed" trains of utterly nothing with ancient locos and make mass dollars...go figure?
