    What's everyones ORTS wishlists?

    There may have been a similar thread to this, but if there was I cannot remember which (if there was sorry for repeating).

    Honestly, for me, I'm really just wishing for new modern EMD switchers (MP15ACs, MP15DCs, MP15Ts, SW1500s, etc) and newer dash 7s of any type.
    Route-wise, I just wish for a newer version of the D&H bridge line (or anything D&H really).

    What's everyone elses?

    Easy answer for me. First, the completion of the Sherman Hill route. Beyond that, I'd love to see some newer/current use GE Class 1 engines. I'd also like to see an update to the Cascade Sub.

      My wish is for more people to learn modeling.
      If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!

        I'm really just surprised that it's been almost a decade since the EMD SD70ACE-T4 came out and despite that nobody has made one. Really all we get now is 80s and 90s stuff which is cool, but tons of people are really just screaming for more modern items.

          Ability to populate a route with cars and engines outside of a fixed activity scenario. Like in explore mode.

              I wish the physics would stay as they are now. Between Trainsimulations and Erick Cantu, those are the best physics available with the most realistic train handling, weights, etc.


              I'm also pretty sure we had this topic already..

                Yes, Sherman Hill is also a route I would like to see fully done and realesed to OR, maybe one day... I heard somewhere we might get Tennessee Pass in a future. And also I always wonder, how far can the OR engine game be pushed in terms of details/grapichs, I mean like a direct comparassion with ETS/ATS engine.

                  I wish we had really good New York Central steam models. The NYC had some really neat steam locomotives, such as the Mohawk, and even the Commodore Vanderbilt Hudson.

                    We could use a really good New York Central route to run them on.

                        Can we wish for more free time for projects? Is that a possibility?
                        unfortunately Starfield from Bethesda came out, so that kind of got me using up most of my free time. Haha.



                        In regards. My personal wish list has been the same.

                        Finish my Maine Central route. Finish my Vermont Rail System route.
                        Have some of the newer models such as the SD70ACe-T4's, some GP31-ECO's, some MP15AC/DC models.

                        Edit: GP31ECO


                        Some newer scrap gons, such as the ones that are pretty popular for AIMX. I believe there are other railroads that have these.

                        Edit: I believe the gons are built by NSC, at least some of them..


                        More variety with propane tank cars. Right now there are only two, and not much painted of either one, but also the latest ones with the newer end platforms that allow conductors to stand on the ends.

                        Edit:

                          I believe I've seen cars of this type during my short trip to the new england area, but not sure if they are the exact same model.

                          I agree with the new ECO, more modern stuff from anyone would definitely be appreciated.

                              A updated version of the Florida funnel and a newer CN dash 9 model.
