    A favourite of mine was the Milwaukee Road (MSTS and OR). Would love to see that route in a graphically-updated Run 8.

    One of my favourite of the old SIAM Traffic Simulation was the MPKS, essentially St Louis to Kansas City with the split at Jefferson City to either run via Sedalia or the River Sub, Marshall, Boonville etc.

    Or that old favorite from Trainmaster 3, Etowah to Corbin.

    I can't speak for Eric, but I would love to have the BNSF metra line on Run8. I think it's the busiest metra line and the dispatch operations would be really fun, as they often have trains racing head on down the middle track. Also the commuter schedule is published so it'd be easy to replicate the morning rush hour in a server setting.

    My wish list, go back to creating the longer and connectable routes. More diversity in loco and rolling stock packs (types not liveries). Do something about the god awful vegetation. Fix the loco's and rolling stock not having any collision properties. Simplify the joining cabs and using external views (one key stroke for each).

    Mike.

    I'd be first in line to buy a locomotive pack w/ the following EMD sound: https://www.reddit.com/r/trains/comm...t=share_button

    I've asked several times; but...Crickets.

    Okay, thanks Mike. I wasn't aware that the crest was from BR....thought it was a Welsh symbol.

    Eric: Disney doesn't own Warner, apparently.....it's part of the Time-Warner conglomerate.

    Here's an excellent coverage of Disney's assets.....amazing what they control!!

    Hahahahaha, no i don't think so. I haven't dropped Wales buddy. My avatar was the British Railways roundal crest Bruce.
    Always liked Mikey from when i was very young. Just something iconic about his image.

    Mike.

    Yeah, I know Yogi was Hanna Barbera but I don't think the other bloke did.
    Certainly I remember Micky in the Fantasia movie but I'm curious as to why, after so long, you've dropped Wales in favour of Mickey??

    Sorry, but I'm not familiar with any connection between Disneyland, Mickey Mouse and Jellystone. Yogi Bear wasn't a Disney character.
