He took my word that I would do what I could on my end to make this happen and well, we both delivered. This is an amazing moment for the Bergen and 3 years of effort to attract all of you to join in the this journey. Right now, today, we can recreate the Transition Era on the former Erie Lackawanna mainline. Something that yesterday was not possible and only a distant memory. Some may say that the content does not suit their proclivity for freight running. That it is one commitment too many, a burden to great. I say to them .. this is not merde! The content here makes possible the most amazing 15 mile run of slopey, tree lined, super elevated goodness you can find anywhere. Every square foot was looked at and I personally guarantee you this. You drive on the New York State Thruway north of Suffern you will recognize every single mile. And in conclusion, to those who wish not to partake ... I bid you a fond adieu. Because I spent 4000 hours of my life to recreate this place with the most exacting detail I personally could manage. And, therefore I can honestly state that the momentary value of my work based on my current salary in this endeavor would be in excess of $174,000. Work you do not pay for, but a benefit that enhances the value of some small purchase you may have made.
Suffice to say that the very first comment we get on this wonderful announcement quite frankly isn't worth merde. My work, my effort, Martins work and his effort stands so high and tall above such triviality that the absurdity of such a statement warrants ridicule. So no route for you!
I appreciate your words.
Every minute you spend behind the computer, you will never be rewarded properly. We only have the feeling of being contributing in some way to expanding the railway world even if it is in a simulator.
It gives me great enthusiasm to know that another person is driving a model that I designed.
The first time to see own product in Steam was a great feeling of joy, fascination and pleasure.
Beyond the economic boom, for the time dedicated, it feels great to help expand the horizons of the railway simulation.
When I find on the other side a person like you, who really values this product with great feeling, I have no more words of gratitude and admiration.
Nobody is obliged to buy or download anything. Only if you feel the need to do so.
Thanks Minerman146 for your perseverance and hours behind the computer.
The route is the best I've played.
