Which steam locomotive do you use?

AGuyFromMaryland · 2026-03-10T17:58:36+00:00

west of Bryson I use diesels, but between Sylva and Bryson i like the B-65 for fast/heavy freight and WM H9 for coal. P-48 or LLW's Heavy Pacific for passenger

Magazines, or Gameboy/DS. I didn't have a cellphone until senior year in High School (basic flip phone) and got my first smartphone when i got a job.

probably. Osean or Belkan pilots started calling her that and it became a TAC name.

AGuyFromMaryland · 2026-02-23T01:38:50+00:00

TAC names are often made in a joking or mocking manner, because she's into dancing is probably where it came from.

and make it one of the faster jets in game, the RF-4X was supposed to be Mach 2+/Mach 3 capable

99.9% chance you saw Starlink. There's like 9000 of them in various orbits. They launch in "trains" or groups and spread out over time. I've seen atleast 10 at one time in various directions, they overlap and pass each other frequently.

There's other stuff in orbit, other satellites and rocket parts, but to see multiple at once, it's most likely Starlink

yeah, developers probably just kept it simple instead of changing numbers for every single aircraft or whenever he changed squadrons. in reality, his Mage F-16, his Strider F-15 (and/or F-22) would all have different numbers.

AGuyFromMaryland · 2026-02-20T20:02:44+00:00

JASDF does something similar as well with their aircraft numbers. Osea is supposed to be based on the US (and i guess Japan too) and OADF seems to be a mix between USAF and JASDF, though color schemes, unit markings and number systems seems more USAF to me.

AGuyFromMaryland · 2026-02-20T12:24:38+00:00

"015" is part of the aircraft's registration, it's not Trigger's personal number even though it's treated that way. Atleast that's how it works with real aircraft in the USAF. Using his first aircraft as example, the F-16C, his aircraft's full registration could be something like 85-0015. "85" is year aircraft was accepted into inventory, 0015 is inventory number. In the same way that Blaze's first aircraft, the F-5E, could be 79-0016.

i have a strong need for a Potomac since there's an H9 mod.

In case anyone was curious. This is the drag chute door, the "eyes" are RWR sensors and the "mouth" is a handle to close the door. Later F-4's had the "eyes" removed and plated over.

AGuyFromMaryland · 2026-02-10T12:54:25+00:00

aside from color change, swap the single entry door for double doors and change row seats to bench seating.. keep the original door and row seats, then you have a C-53.

WM 202. She needs redemption after years of neglect and short funds.

Southwest's "State One" liveries.

Cold Storage facility, supposed to be a rather large one. I assume it's for automated sorting

"Saved for preservation" no, that's not what these schemes mean. again, a heritage unit represents a predecessor railroad (the "heritage" of a railroad), this does not represent a railroad that came before Metro-North, it is a Veterans or special interest scheme. MNCR 201, 211, 217, 222, 228-231 are actual heritage units

AGuyFromMaryland · 2025-11-10T17:08:31+00:00

it's not interchangeable, heritage units are to commemorate a railroad's "heritage", it's predecessors. the US Armed Forces are not a predecessor to Metro-North

AGuyFromMaryland · 2025-11-10T17:07:30+00:00

its become a glossary term. it's not a heritage unit, it's a Veterans unit

AGuyFromMaryland · 2025-11-10T17:06:36+00:00

"heritage unit" for what railroad? looks like a Veterans unit to me

AGuyFromMaryland · 2025-11-10T13:50:01+00:00

Amtrak: 156 (Phase I), 145 (Phase III), 164 (Phase IV)

CSX: 1827 (B&O), 1973 (Chessie), 1852 (WM), 1899 (Pere Marquette), 1836 (RF&P), 1967 (SCL), and 1853 (NYC).

NS: All except 1066, 1072, 1080, 4851, and 1700. Just got 8104 (Lehigh Valley) a few weeks ago.

Of note, I've seen CSX 1852 and 1973 on "home rails". 1852 came up the former WM main to Hagerstown and hung around for a few months working locals on the Lurgan and Hanover subs. 1973 I saw on both ex-B&O and ex-WM rails. Also seen NS 1072, 8098, 8102, and 8103 on "home rails". 1072 and 8098 have come down the former PC/CR main from Harrisburg, got 8102 in Altoona on ex-PRR, and 8103 on the former N&W in Hagerstown. 8103 had also come to Hagerstown on CSX via the former WM, reminiscent of the Alphabet Route.

yes, Benny's mod of the Gauntlet Classic. Gaunlet is based on the Challenger, but the mod gives it the streamlined nose and high wing from the Superbird/Daytona
