Let me know if anyone else gets a derailment when meeting the passing train at the curve in the tutorial scenario. Its like both of us hit a brick wall at the same time.

Found one more bit of oddness, and am hoping someone else can confirm. Shortly after you start the Horseshoe Curve tutorial scenario you are met by a consist heading in the opposite direction, let by PRR #8510. I was in an external view looking at frame rates when I noticed when you meet the other train, the autonumbers on the side of the cab and on the front signboards of my GP7 changed from 8576 (my engine) to 8510 for a second, then changed back. It did this three times during the meet.

Anyone else confirm?

Maybe a dumb question, but whats the story behind the tubing that runs on top of all the locomotives?

Awesome thanks for the link. Now I can stop wondering every time I'm in one lol.

So far love the add on but only having 5 scenarios is a bit disappointing. Hopefully some of the great scenario creators out there will be adding a lot more play time to this great scenery.

Well during the 3rd scenario coming out of the first tunnel got a derailment. All the railcars just instantly exploded all over the map kinda weird.

Ok started from a save point and this time all went well. Seems that in certain spots if you are just a mile per hour or two too fast all hell breaks loose.

I have to give a big thumbs up! They did a good job of rendering Brunswick Green,not an easy color to model. Way to go team!

I hooked up 8 SD-70's with 100 coal cars in that huge yard and it actually ran! Every now and then I would get a stutter but not enough to notice. I'm impressed!!

Horseshoe Curve is an excellent route with lots of cool new assets. Nicely done RSC! !!*ok*!!

And it's the only route where I can say that the cab sway is realistic and that I like it.

Yup. The exact same thing happened to me.
All cars derailed, all couplers vanished, and half my wrecked cars started sliding up the slope!
And of course you can't save progress in a scenario.
The second time, I stopped my train before reaching the curve and waited for that consist to pass. No crash.
