Looking great, so looking forward to seeing this

One thing I hope is looked at; I think the tender logo lettering could do with toning down. White lettering on a steam locomotive lasted only a trip or two

Love the NG !*drool*!

At long last! I’ve been waiting for this one to be done. The RGS is legendary. I’m hoping that enough of the height map is included that the line can be extended the 26.5 miles from Placerville down to Ridgeway as this would complete the northern district including the RGS a facilities at Ridgeway (which is the northern terminus - not Placerville as indicated in the article). Thank you Milepost!

!*drool*!

So looking forward to getting hands on this! Love the NG. What would be interesting would be a Goose. It is just a shame though that they didn't get into Durango. Having the interaction between the two roads would have been amazing.

Bring it on...

!*cheers*!

Do you think the Baldwin 2-8-0 included with the Clear Creek route could pass for a RGS locomotive?

Don’t forget the Britkits NG assets (http://www.dickyjim.com/page12.html) and those of the previous Milepost Clear Creek route.

Looking forward to tweaking with some AP weather to provide some good snow conditions. Haven't touched TS for more than a year, but this will be a day one buy for me

I bought it! I have a new desktop,and it downloaded and installed so fast. I saw there are four reviews already on Steam,somewhat mixed. But I am very happy so far. It is very likely someone will expand the route. I would love to see it reach Durango,Ridgeway,and Ouray. Separate extensions I know. Also,it will be nice to port the K-27 over to the Durango and Silverton,so we have a cab-view. First word of advice as an engineer on this route. Apply air brakes sooner than you might naturally. I am loving it,so far. Joe

The trolls over on Steam are never happy with anything. Same bitchers all the time. Reminds me of the reviewers on Trip Advisor. A restaurant will get all fours and fives then some person will give the place a one or a two. You go look at their other reviews and most often they are complaining about something everywhere they go. These must be pretty miserable individuals.

Been waiting on this for a long time, and personally I think it worth the wait. The scenery looks amazing and really captures the look and feel of sw Colorado. That said, the sounds do really let it down. It is not as though there aren't any operating K27's. Unfortunately these are just regurgitated generic steam sounds. Hopefully somebody can look at these.

Definitely a buy, even as it is

I believe these are the same k4's from the Durango and Silverton route that used to hosted on G-Trax (no longer there as of today). I think that I purchased this in 2015 originally.
