    I'd love a few more routes, and of course any engine with a 3D cab is an immediate yes from me.
    They don't have 3D cabs.

      I agree with Eric here. I have the Circus Train, The Christmas Train, and the new Halloween Train I recommend them all highly

          Willamette Pass, But then, I'm partial because my Father Grew up in Klamath Falls and went to school in Eugene for awhile. ​ That and Soldier's Summit. I'm a fan of the old Rio Grande.

            I would pass on Willamette Pass. It dates from the early days of MSTS and it is "primitive," to say the least. Because of the computer limitations when it came out, it looks almost nothing like the prototype. Willamette is a route that could be a gem, but it needs a top-to-bottom remake. Compare it to TS Shasta for OpenRails--and just how primitive Willamette looks is quite evident. Soldier Summit is much better--I still run it often. I bought Willamette when it came out--I haven't run it in over a decade.

              I agree that the Willamette/Cascade route could definitely use an upgrade. Tons of potential there.
