  • 3dTrains ORTS and v4 F-Units now available

    Click image for larger version  Name:	main_products_funits_crr.jpg Views:	0 Size:	6.7 KB ID:	2303603If you're a fan of EMD F-Units, chances are one of the 3DTrains options posted to the Store this week will fit right in with your MSTS/ORTS collection.

    The ORTS Santa Fe F7 pack is designed for OpenRails, including a true 3D cab. The model detail is outstanding, and looks incredible pulling the El Capitan cars from NAVS in the library. A few folks have already told me the cab works great on other E and F units, so it may be worth the purchase just for that added feature and realism.

    There are also 13 v4 F-Unit "SuperPack" sets now available in the store, each with a variety of timeless liveries and ABBA consists.

    These models designed for MSTS include EMD FT, F3, F5, F7, and FP7 locomotives, on a wide range of roads covering Canada to both coasts and just about every point in between.

    The SP sets will get some time on the TrainSimulations "Shasta Route" this week, and I've already taken the Southern Railway set out for a spin on the CNO&TP 3rd District .

    Unfortunately, we don't have a true shopping cart in the Store yet... I never thought the idea would take off this quickly. Until there is, if you'd like to do a single payment for multiple purchases, please feel free to use the Manual Payment option.

    It won't be an instant enablement, but I am monitoring and will get to these as quickly as possible. And I'm sure your bank or credit card issuer's fraud department won't mind, either.

  • State of the Site - April/May 2025
    by eric

    Yep, it's May. And I skipped the April monthly site update entirely.

    To be more accurate, I wrote an update, and then the bot attacks hit (all remedied....), so I scrapped it. And then, well....... as I've found out a few times in life, God has a sense of humor.

    As some might recall, my wife and I bought land in Tennessee last year, with the plan to move sometime in late 2026. In early April, our plans got moved up with very little notice, and we put our house up for sale....

  • Server Instability
    by eric

    I'm sure you've probably noticed some server instability over the last couple days.

    There's no clear smoking gun, but what I did discover digging around is that we saw a huge jump in site access starting on Saturday. By Monday, there was 20 times as much activity...

    I suspect the real issue was the access logs. When you have increased activity, logs grow accordingly.... As a log file size increases, the amount of time needed to insert each new transaction also increases,...

  • State of the Site - March 2025
    by eric

    Geez, time flies. I just realized what week it was.... I really hate forgetting things like an anniversary, and here I just did that.

    As of March 12th, we've been a fully independent site for two years. I couldn't be happier with how the community has responded since "The Split", and how you've all continued to help make this site a fun place to stop by.

    Thanks to the moderators and others who help keep the forums moving along, those who contribute to the library,...

  • New Run8 Route - CSX Savannah Subdivision
    by eric

    HyRail Simulations and Run8Studios are out with a new route expansion to their Jacksonville Region -- the CSX Savannah Sub.

    The new route starts about 50 miles north of Savannah, and continues south another 40 miles, where it joins with the CSX Waycross Sub and ultimately to the A-Line Sub.

    There are two major yards in Savannah, two smaller yards, and some 20 industries along the way. CSX also hosts eight Amtrak movements a day across this line, including the AutoTrain,...

  • Running Run 8
    by eric

    About three weeks ago, I bought a copy of Run 8, as I'd promised Brad (owner of 3DTrainStuff and Run8studios) many months ago that I'd give it a try. This was long overdue, as it's been out since 2012. Now that I've used it a bit, what John Greenstone and the team have accomplished is nothing short of remarkable. They've made significant advances in train handling, physics and functionality, particularly multi-player, that set a new benchmark for what train simulation should be. I intentional...

  • New Hoppers from TrainSimulations
    by eric

    Last night on the way home from work, I passed a freight train with a hundred or so covered hoppers, coming from one of the many DeLong elevators located along the Harvard Sub.

    It's not often that I can recreate what I saw 18 hours ago, but the guys at TrainSimulations just made that possible.

    Two sets of ACF hoppers are out today -- one for CSX and one for UP.

    Each set comes with 24 ready to run hoppers, suitable for a mostly modern setting with some CSXT...
