Railworks America

I just opened Steam and discovered that as of yesterday I have spent 6000 hours of my life running Railworks in all of its various reincarnations. Does that give me any bragging rights around here?

ouch and I thought I had it bad at 1000............

I have 4600. 2,000 are building the NERW.

Are those hours based on what Steam shows, and if so, doesn't that only reflect the time based on when a person is logged onto Steam. If my thinking is correct and offline mode doesn't add time, then potentially you'd have even more hours assuming you run TS offline and my analogy is correct.

I'm over 8000. I need to get a life.

1243 I'm with Buzz.

Forget Railworks, when I grow up and get a job I'm going to work on a REAL locomotive!

And I have 1,258 hours... This sim is better than I thought.

When you apply do not tell them your a train nut. You won't get the job.

I have 3,000 hours a year at my day job. My hours in RW are over, 5 years or 4 , I don't remember when we got Railworks 1.

And try not to do anything stupid now, so you do grow up. We need good strong smart youth to keep this country going.

lol, I'm in the process of becoming a conductor. The course actually begins in May, and I have stuck to this idea closely. I actually asked the instructor 2 years ago (therefore he doesn't remember me from then) what their take on train fans are. "Well, are you a foamer?" was his response, "if so, then I would suggest not coming, simply because foamers like to challenge the instructors." This is actually what he said to me. It's pretty crazy. For gosh sake, you aren't there to test your knowledge, your there to learn how to be in a profession. Obviously the instructor, who is in his 60's, has been working on the railroad since he was 15 - he is going to know a lot more than you. You're just there to make this your career.

Anyway, getting back on topic, I have only 92 hours on record, but really, all I ever do is mod the dang thing. I have pretty much only spent my time testing out my sounds. Though lately, I have been building a small route (to test sounds and route building skills) and completed my first 4 scenarios (yup, first 4).

FYI: I never run TS offline.

Bob, what took you so long, I built the Montour in 960 Hours Of course I also use to run Rail Works in off line mode, so my true time maybe 3 times that amount

I work 10 hours + a day at my day job so I only really had the weekends and holidays to do it. I also went too far from the tracks with trees and scenery. I never even tried to do offline, no clue how it even works, don't want to know either.

To keep it technical I've got 10^3 hours under my belt - so to speak.

1.782 x 10^3 for me!
