>>10738871I warmed up a bit to the loco now that we've got clearer pictures, and I like it in the sense that it's supposed to be more of an Emerald Night 2 than any particular Orient Express locomotive. I'm gonna at the least mod on some smoke deflectors and make it more like pic related. I'm also fine with no Power Functions compatibility being built in since I was probably always gonna just make a powered luggage car for the thing. Figs are cool and the dark blue train doors are sexy. Overall very pleased with how it turned out.
>>10738873The thing with Train Simulator DLC is that you're not supposed to buy all $10000+ worth of DLC that's out there, you buy it piecemeal based on what trains and routes you like. Someone with an interested in British steam isn't going to have any interest in a DLC based on a modern day diesel route in America's southwest. There's also $10000+ worth of DLC only because the DLC from 2010 is still compatible with the newest version of the game in 2023 instead of making a new edition of the game every year like FIFA or Call of Duty do making you rebuy everything.
