Don't forget the two hour refund policy. It should give you plenty of time to make a decision on a loco and car release.

Is that two hours from the point it is installed or two hours from the time of the order? I'm lucky if my purchases are installed by the next day. I purchased four items on Friday evening it was Sunday afternoon before they were available.

I have no idea however if you exit steam and then sign back in it will show if you have things in que. If you do you can tell it to download now.

It's 2 hours of "play time," not from the time of purchase.

You’re in OH right? If the above is the case, it’s way past time for you to find another ISP.

My ISP is just fine. Steam is the only site that I have issues with in this regard.

Whatever. There is only what a hundred horns in the library? Or do you just enjoy complaining? My biggest complaint with this offering is the train is empty of people.

Go find a quality SL4T recording in the file library. Protip: you won't. I get what DTM was going for, but they could've used one with a higher bitrate than 64kb/s (or so it sounds anyway). Holding developers to a low standard just sets the bar for low quality content that the community has to fix (Read: DTG).

So quit complaining and go record one yourself. Come on. You are not on Trainsim.com.

Again, it sounds like it was made with a synthesizer, not recorded from a real engine.


this sound sourced from BNSFdude, and he's probably the best guy to know how to make proper sounds

Sometimes I randomly changing download region, and after few attempts, it eventually works
