LOL, I already have all those except NEC, which I don't plan on buying yet. !**duh*!!

The Genesis with the Superliners is really, really good. Rick Grout (G Trax) made the engine, and Cesar (Lord Mannu) made the Superliner coaches. Superb! !!*ok*!!

I'd like to add Ohio Steel to the list of routes I haven't time to play.

It all depends on whether or not there's a 75% off day during the sale or not. I've got 12 addons in my wishlist. If there isn't a 75% off day for Railworks stuff, then I'll probably pick up the Northeast Corridor and West Coast Main Line North. If it does hit 75% off (fingers crossed), then I'll most definitely be purchasing everything in my wishlist, and will probably add a couple of things to it too. :)

My full list is as follows:

Northeast Corridor
Edinburgh Glasgow
WCML North
Glasgow Airport Rail Link
The Woodhead Line
Settle to Carlisle
Settle Steam Specials
Falmouth Branch Line
Acela Express
P42DC Genesis
Challenger Pack
SPS Northerns

Can't wait for the sale, but will wait until the last day of it in the hopes we'll see a 75% off day. :)

I'll definitely get London-Brighton. That, and probably some of the GermanRailroads stuff (Is the ICE any good? What about the E18?)

They come as a set, the engine with the coaches. I just run them on Barstow/ San Bernadino, there are several scenarios that come with the Genesis for that route.

Probably the Dash 9.

I have nine things remaining on my wishlist. I'll get them all if the sale is like their Christmas sale, at least 50% off.

Then I'll just have to sit and wait for new DLC to be published.

Yes, that's right, I will have EVERYTHING once I buy those nine items. I cannot believe I bought the whole thing.... *!greengrin!*

I still have 14 items on my wishlist, but I doubt I can get them all even if it's 75% off! lol
I really want the SD75, so that will probably be the only one I get for now.

A 50% sale would cost me right around $80. I'd eat beans and rice or mac and cheese for a week or ten days to complete the collection. *!greengrin!*

Of course then they'll just publish new DLC, such as Sherman hill, and some new locos, and 3rd Party Developers will keep putting out stuff (I have most of Just Trains and IHH and Golden Age of Railroading and G-Trax etc etc etc) and...and....

Crap, I'm never getting out of this addiction, am I? !**duh*!!

Not sure when it's going to start. There was a rumor that it was suppose to start yesterday because the last two summer sales have started on the Thursday before the 4th of July, but that didn't happen. I'll take a wild guess and say either this weekend or sometime early next week.
