Nice videography and review, Nick. Also liked the music!
Everytime time I see a top notch RW route, makes me wish they would get their physics more in tune with reality. Hard to beat the visuals found in RW.

Great vid, Nick. But no matter how many videos I watch of it, I've always felt RW lacks the umpf MSTS offers.

I'd have to agree with you Jonatan, it's a spectacular looking sim, but there's just so many little details that detract from it. However, the empire builder does look amazing. That said, you'll not see me putzing around driving that train until somebody finds me an RW-compatible GN S1 class 4-8-4 to replace those unholy abominations on the front of that consist..:oldstry:

Even a steam freak can't call a F7 an "unholy abomination".
