If you like to run prototypical trains Run 8 is really the only choice. Each player is represented by an avatar dressed in a road construction crew vest. When working yards or switches, setting up a team of power you get outa the cab and virtually set the train up. In Multiplayer you have a conducter work with you. Combine team speak and the other players and its a great time.
Every time We log onto the dams server there are at least 10 ppl there and this weekend I ran 2 organized sessions with atleast 15 ppl. You have a human dispatcher, and people conjugate in roughly the same subdivision
Was on the Dams server almost constantly for a couple of months and was a member of the CS & W, and been on many sessions with over 20 people or more. All my comments still stand. The other issue is the apparent attitude of the people that own Run 8. The Dams forum and server are the biggest proponents of Run 8 and of their sim, and despite that, Run 8 decided to ban Ralph, the owner of the Dams server from the Run 8 website, and they took all mention of his forum and his server off their website. In order to get current content so that he can continue to run sessions on his server, he has to have someone else purchase it for him, because they won't sell anything to Ralph. At one time Run 8 had a forum, and if any customer of theirs made any comment or suggestion on the forum, that they didn't like for one reason or another, they would ban that person from the forum and wouldn't deal with them either. This is the main reason that I held off getting their Simulator, but thought after a couple of years, and with the existence of the Dams forum which was very friendly, I thought that things had changed at Run 8 , but apparently not.
