I might allow myself to purchase one route this month and I tend to prefer passenger train scenarios (Euro, US, doesn't mater). What has been your best one so far?

I have:
London-Faversham High Speed
Munich-Augsburg
Northeast Corridor
Cologne-Duesseldorf

I think that's about it. Plus what came with the original purchase a couple of years ago.

Hmmm, anybody tried the KwaZulu-Natal Corridor yet? South Africa sounds interesting!

I like the small local tracks (hope there will be a German 1970s add-on featuring the Uerdinger Schienenbus), and think the Isle of Wight add-on is very nice in this regard.


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Thanks, Legend! I wish I had more money or that Steam would have a big sale right now. But since South Africa is totally new to me, I went ahead and bought it.

Looks beautiful so far (only did one cargo scenario so far), but it looks like there are plenty of passenger, cargo, and combination scenarios already with the package; enough to keep me busy before I look at the Steam Workshop content.

By the way, I am so used to the pantograph already being up in scenarios that I thought I had a broke scenario when my loco and cars kept rolling backwards no matter how I tried to finesse the power! I guess it's nice that someone thought to keep us on our toes!

Just wanted to point out, for some reason the KwaZulu-Natal Corridor does not appear under the "Drive" -> "Standard" option when in-game. So I've been accessing the scenarios from the "Career" option since I don't mind low scores. biggrin

PS. KwaZulu-Natal Corridor is accessible through "Free Roam," but I have not tried that yet so I cannot report on it.

The very north of Germany
My favorites are:

Western Lines of Scotland and the Koeblitz Mountain Route (not available on Steam, it`s a fictional German route and has some issues in track-laying, like switches being too narrow, but very atmospheric).

edit:
Hamburg-Hannover ain`t bad too, better track-laying than Cologne-Duesseldorf f.e.

Norfolk Southern Coal District is a great looking new line from DTG

Western Lines of Scotland is also a well done line but I get an glitch on one of the viaducts, maybe it was because I ran something a little heavy over it that the bridge collapsed under the weight...


The Settle Carlisle route tho has to be my favourite and with the 1975 extension to it from the workshop giving you a run from Skipton to Carlisle that's the icing on the cake for me smile
