I can understand totally the 'feel/sound' of brakes to an ex driver.
Great you enjoyed the run anyway robmerlo.
Cheers

Hello my friend i have enjoyed the run i just cannot get used to the brakes on these trains just cannot get the feel or the sound believe me sound is a very important guide when applying and releasing them

Hello arktiem.
Great you feel a little better - and a lot better emotionally ha ha.
It is not surprising the big difference it can make, if the age of the props are altered backwards or forwards in time, to help the 'feel' of a scenario. I used to do it a lot for my needs, then realised I could do it a lot more seriously and use it for a collection.
To be worthwhile, I decided it was best to use one scenario to upgrade the complete route, and then clone the scenario for the collection.
Most routes do NOT allow adding or changing too much, but I can add as much as I like to this route, and it is fine. Example: the winter one needed a few bushes near some rock outcrops, as the rocks were just too stark and white (not quite realistic). They looked fine in autumn. I am now working on the 5th in the collection.
I was an artist/technical illustrator in my past, so it is like I am painting or airbrushing.
Regards and have fun.

Hey there, my friend. Thank you for your warm wishes... they meant a lot! Physically, I am still not doing so hot, but at least the queasy stomach stopped. Emotionally? I am feeling soooo much better after running the first in this series. It was excellent! The SD60E has the power needed for hauling large loads, but it also has great dynamic breaks, so you always feel in control. It's funny... I have run other scenarios using modern equipment on the Horseshoe, but it never felt right. This is the first one that felt oh so right. The additions and changes you implemented, subtle as they are, made all the difference. Great work, my friend. And so... thank you so very much for everything and onto the next one! :choo::chooo::choooo:

Hello blacey4.
I've only just bought the SD60E. I think it is a great locomotive. The sound of the cars that come with it is excellent. I am pleased you were able to enjoy this route again (me too). It has been a few years since I did.
Thank you for your feedback.

Well done. Very enjoyable run. Good dynamic braking on the SD60E. Hadn't been on this route for a good while so thanks for sharing.

G'day matey. Well that was great to hear. It sounds like you really enjoyed it.
Took me a while I can tell you - but worth it at the end. The next one is the Amtrak service 'The Pennsylvanian', from Johnstown to Altoona following the official timetable time of 09:05:00.
Cheers
