I believe the Dash9 probably has the most scenarios available.


Too Late :P SD75 I chose.

Since the sale was later than usual and I haven't spent any money on games lately I went ahead and bought Horseshoe Curve (which I had initially planned to wait until the 75% off day), and after playing the first few scenarios all I have to say is man, what an absolutely gorgeous route. The sounds of birds chirping and stuff like that is a very very nice touch. $15 gladly spent. Now I just need the SD70 Vol. 2 and Dash 9 packs and I'll have a good variety of NS power and then the SD75 for a wider array of rolling stock, but those can wait until the 75% off day (if there is one anyway, fingers crossed). I'll be plenty occupied for now with just the 50's stock *!lol!*

Seriously, people, it is the BEST steam locomotive you can buy.

You know, I'm really not into the steam loco's, but everytime I look at the K4 I think "Man thats a beautiful steamer". I think combined with the fact that it has scenarios on the HSC, I'm going to break down and get it along with the Dash9, NS Highnose, SD40-2 Widenose and the SD75. Railworks definitely has money coming from me. *!greengrin!*

When you get the SD70 Vol 2 pack do yourself a favor and get the "Horsehoe Heavies" scenarios from FooteForward. $9.99 well spent there as well. Combined with the new updated SD70 lights and sound mod, it makes for a flatout gorgeous route. Plus you get to ride on some of the lesser used side rails on the route.

I went with what I said I would, London-Brighton and the E18 loco. Both are very nice, and I love the animated airplane landing at Gatwick on London-Brigton.

Okay I decided I'm going to buy the P42DC Genesis and the SD75 today, then hold out until the end of the sale to see if they go to 75%. If not I'll buy the rest of them on the last day !!*ok*!!

The Genisis and those beautiful Superliners is a great pack. Rick Grout (G Trax) made the engine, and Lord Mannu (Cesar) made the Superliners.

Steam, did someone say steam? You gotta get the Big Boy, Challenger, Berkshires. I think I have every steam loco, probably every diesel as well. The F7 Chief is just amazing. And those SD70 repaints from Xdriver. Dang! !!*ok*!! !*salute*!

Well they just got $12 from me, broke down and bought the SD40 HN and WN since they're pretty inexpensive to begin with *!greengrin!* Gonna wait to see if the K4, SD75 and Dash9 go to 75%

Now install these :
- SD40 new sounds by simer4 - RWA search tag: simer4-RWEMD16645E3v1
- SD40-2 weathered repaints by roinuj RWA search tags: roinuj-CN_Zebra_Pack, roinuj-Ex_CN_Zebra_Pack
- SD40-2 CN Wide Enhancement pack by Doc (Machinist) Lisboa - RWA search tag: Machinist-CN_SD402W_Widenose_V1
- SD40-2 CN Wide new physics by Kali (not sure where from)

Now swap any SD40-2 in a scenario by a repaint.

Well I gave them about $30. Picked up the Class 67: Diamond Jubilee pack, Ohio Steel 2 and last but not least, the Genesis pack.

So do we know for sure what the end date will be? I want to hold out for a 75% off day but I don't want to miss the sale completely by having it end before I've had a chance to buy anything.
