TS2012-optimized Class 390 available from 2 February. This will also be an auto-upgrade for all of you who have the old 390. Enjoy!

Class 390 - riding first class on a rainy night.

An update for the Class 390 Pendolino!
Now I hope for other older models to get an update, too.

Heh, that's been sitting around for months, iirc...

Somebody unplugged the pipeline.

This looks like a nice train.
I have to confess that I have never driven a UK train, or even loaded a european route in RW.
WIth all that unexplored content, and new US content that is published faster than I can try it, RW3 should keep me occupied 'til I'm too old to use a computer.
Look for a post from Chacal sometime around 2021 saying "Hey I just tried Oxford to Paddington and it's great!"

I've tried a bit of UK stuff, not a big fan though as it's not what I'm used to growing up around. Hope they upgrade the US chaircars, caboose, and a few other models that are from the original Rail Simulator next.

I can't believe they do not have passenger views in the American cars. And the engine can be heard like it was inside the car.

I dig the modeling of that interior!

Now that's a beauty! (still doesn't match Marc's Chiefs)

For you that don't get to the UK routes, I would suggest a look at the WCML North. Sure, it's a payware DLC but finding a half-price sale isn't too difficult. I haven't done anything with the default UK routes since the first week or so after release but I figured WCML North would probably be the only way I'm ever going to get to Scotland, so I grabbed it at one of the sales and I am not at all sorry. The Class 86 is a b***h to drive, at least for me, but you can always change out the consists with RWTools. RSC does provide a user manual on how to drive the 86 and I have seen posts that it was a lot of fun once one gets a handle on it.

WCML is great, and the 86 is fun to drive! There's a couple of nice videos on how to drive it as well. Just search for driving 86 Railworks on Youtube.

I just ran Civil Trip Pt. 2 on it, as a matter of fact. Chris makes great scenarios for free for the WCML over on UKTrainsim. This freight run is very immersive, with lots of good interaction with AI, exploring some of that out of the way track (which is just as amazingly scenicked as the main line). It's a must have, I think.

I agree. It's exquisite!
