I can relate. About half the reason I stopped doing much on our MRL was because one of the original guys insisted on using Marias Pass for a bunch of the assets and I was constantly being asked by others to redo it taking them out. Yeah right with over a hundred miles of track with scenery. Anyway it might get me pumped up to go back to work.

Not to get off topic but you’re the guy behind the Sechelt and North Coast right? I still look at those pictures from time to time due to how fantastic your scenery creation work is.

I’m glad they finally got this sorted: I used MP for the Thurmont and Branford without realizing that it wasn’t available outside of the US, until now.

I guess they will just "switch off" US only and roll out them a few at a time warts and all.

I suppose locos made by third party developers the likes of DTM that were not available outside the US will become available worldwide.

I remember the day they announced the route was going to be released. Man, I was the happy person you would've ever seen. That route brought back so many memories back in the Trainz days. Ran it so much I almost know it like the back of my hand.

Yes, I was over the moon when it was first announced back in about 2012 as I drove on it lots of times in MSTS.

Stevens Pass now released.
The release of Marias Pass just before Christmas and now Stevens Pass also enables we the ROW crowd to access Adriana County, Majestic Falls and other great routes previously off limits because of their dependencies, great times for the hobby. Now we need the GP9 pack, the Dash 9 pack, the SW1500 packand the SD70 V2 pack plus a few Marketplace bits and pieces. It's a brave new world.

Does this mean that they are retroactively applying BNSF logos if you already own non branded content? Was your original purchase a ROW version?
