Train Simulator 2021: B&O Mountain Sub - First Look
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- The latest North American route is out for Train Simulator. Back to the east coast via the Allegheny Mountains in the form of Baltimore & Ohio's West End Mountain Subdivision, set in the 1970's featuring old standards (TS and otherwise) such as the GP-9, SD35, GP40-2 and SW series switchers - from Grafton, West Virginia to Cumberland, Maryland.
Join me as I take a look at over 100 route miles from end to end as well as the rolling stock that comes along with.

1:29:50. This is one of the best places in this route to screenshot. I love how the main art for the Mountain Sub has this bridge in it. It really adds to the scenery and feel of the route.
NEED some new Rolling Stock! Another DTG cash grab. Nice route. 140 miles makes for some great runs. Thanks for the review buddy. As always, an honest, well narrated and enjoyable to watch. Thank You. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.
Indeed we do, if it weren't for the likes of a few payware devs and freeware devs I'd prob be on to somthing else.
I just dont understand how these same old devs keep churning out the same msts quality stock and expect ppl to be ok w it.
@@schnauzahpowahz I'm sure there are others like myself who are especially starved for Chessie content - so, immediately our dollars get thrown at these (Hanover, Retro pack, Washington/Baltimore,WVN). Regardless if they are 5-star or 1-star :)
Hey look at the bright side. This bad boy is long. I dread Dovetail Game's sloppy work myself, but well, it's better than nothing. Besides, some of their work is fairly decent.
I totally agree with you the graphics on the equipment are carbon copies of the old stuff . Same sounds same interiors in the cab . I think they should just focus on the route which is very nice but their rolling stock needs some improvement . Just have to use Jointed Rails stuff on the route like always ! Thanks for the review.
Damn impressive route especially for today’s standards. Looks like the 567 sound pack will be due for an update for the GP9 included with this route…
This route is garbage
Noice. Def would be. Some old E&F's be cool too.
@@schnauzahpowahz i have long term plans for support of all the F units but E units will use a different mod because of the twin 12-567s they’re fitted with. there already is an E unit mod applied to the TRS CNW E8, the engine sounds just have to be ported over to everything else.
yay!!!
@@colebeck6506 Actually, the route is pretty impressive considering it's made by High Iron Simulations. You can't say a route is garbage if you don't have a reason to say so. You clearly have ZERO taste in TSC routes my friend. Maybe try making your own route some time. You might eat your words.
Seeing the Mountain Sub remade in TS is amazing. I live by the line irl, about 5 mi from Grafton
1:03:30 Graveyard Curve us just west of Terrs Alta. There's an old graveyard on the outside of the curve, hence the name
Not to cause a War between anyone but B&O wasn't the first railroad in the United States, Wikipedia says it is when that's false info as DC Congress Library fire insurance land title says Honesdale PA is the first all working railroad in the United States, B&O may have laid the first stone but Honesdale Ran the first Steam Locomotive in all the United States on their 9mile line, used at the time to transport coal from the mill to the river barrages in 1829. B&O didn't start running any locomotives until 1832
Thank you for sharing this with us
Fist class review mate. Your a sucker for detail! I was waiting to see a Minerman Jeep parked up.
Lol
Thanks alot. I was struggling towards the end. Im thinking i shdve made it a 2 or 3 part thing 😆
Graveyard Curve is BnO's version of Horseshoe curve........
The pipes were once from the towers to the switches at one time in real life. Cannot remember what time though, if it was Armstrong levers or not. Out in that part of the world, there is lots of cliffs and rocks in the rivers and creeks thus creating rapids that they obviously tried to recreate. Not sure where you are from, but I have been up there on that Subdivision once to see that area and it is rugged like that up there.
Slamming my keyboard against the wall over the terrible quality control…
😆
As a North American TS user, its good to have backup monitors, mice, keyboards etc
I live in grafton West Virginia. Looks amazing
Mountaintop removal mining has destroyed some beautiful scenery in West Virginia!
Well done for covering all that. While its not as good as Hanover Subdivision, it looks far better than a lot of the US routes in TS.
this route isnt bad i love the new sd35 and the b&o gp9 hope the 567 sound mod gets compatible with this gp9.
That thumbnail is impressive!
I'm from Grafton you did a good job
CSX still running on the Mountain Subdivision today.
Although they still run, they have degraded the Mountain Sub exponentially.
@@MattsTrainArchive Sure thing, thanks.
My home railroad live about a mile from the tracks. Still sees a fair amount back of traffic day and night.
They could've made ANY B&O steamer to go with this.
Except this is DTG so of course they didn't, what, did you expect NEW stuff?! lmao
A Good honest review
I like the route from what I’ve seen just disappointed that’s there’s no Passenger services that come with it.
The route was modeled in the 1970’s when they stopped passenger services.
Yeah sadly the incoming of amtrak in 71/72 killed privatization but a few B&O passenger svcs like the Shenandoah ran thru Cumberland, there may be some stock in TS to use for is. Just have to dig around
I'm gonna get this tomorrow so that's cool
I couldn't fight the temptation. Got it and love it since I really like that area and B&O. However I will with the rest of you on rolling stock. It would be nice for the era on the "Trailer Jets" esp. to have some 89' flats. Amtrak believe it or not ran the route from 1976 to 1981 with a train called the "Shenandoah", so it would be neat having the Amtrak trains in there. I am new to all this, so I don't know if it's possible to add more to these as they are purchased or not.
How do you do the pass over in your video for the tour? I want to tour the simulator on my own at certain locations without actually having to use a scenario using a train (if it's possible). Also, do you have to use the 32bit or can you use the 64bit RS2022? I cannot get it to load in 64bit. Thanks for any help!
Looks impressive but you lost me at scenarios. It’s no Run8
@Schnauzahpowahz Is it possible Dovetail Games would make a Pro Range CN GP9rm for Train Simulator 2022? I really would love to see that as a TS22 dlc.
I have no clue, releases are pretty darn random
@@schnauzahpowahz Oh don't we know that. It's weird how SDs seem to be the new norm, but Geeps are just left to bite the dust. Two Pro Range GP20s are what we got so far in terms of Pro Range Geeps, but we'll see. Maybe some tp dev out there might come up with one of those.
thanks for the amazing review the route is definitely nice but the rolling stock is recycled and outdated. Greetings from Spain
Damn, YT is takin forever with any other qualities besides 360p.
Tell me about it. YT is taking ages checking and processing. The internets been just generally wack the last few days. Steam has been weird, hell even my network where i work
I'm okay with the old look of TS routes, but the pricing is insane! I just can't justify spending $40 on a DLC that looks like this. (Horseshoe curve 2.0) It's worth about $5 in my opinion. If they want more money, they need to update their game engine to a somewhat modern standard. $40 is a whole, brand new videogame, not one super dated DLC map with a few recycled vehicles. It's ridiculous. Also, I don't get what people do with these huge yards, if you get an OOM error every 5 minutes while using the editor. On a 32GB machine. Ridiculous. So if I'm unable to explore or use the map, why should I buy it in the first place...
edit: The video is great tho. No intros, no begging for subs, what a gem lol
Haha thank you, and I totally agree. I'm holding out hope for SimRail. Best option ftmp in TS is to wait for sales because the fact that we get the same garbage rolling stock time and time again isn't work 40 alone.
As far as subs and likes, I figure if people enjoy the content they know what they can do - I feel the same as you, can't much stand stuff like that
all entrée, no appetizer 😉 (def not fancy restaurant entrée, more like Burger King or something lol)
@@schnauzahpowahz I think I was a bit too harsh, because the Mountain Sub is one of the more valuable and complex routes, and I'm an Eagle Dynamics customer, haha.
SimRail looks like the average low budget indie game, if you ask me.. :)
I think it's impossible to make a solid base-sim without some serious $$$, from a big company like MS. I kinda lost faith in all those indie/low budget games. It takes dozens of people and 50-200 million dollars to make a serious sim these days. With all the licencing, translations, research, documentation
So I'll stick to good old TS classic and Run8, until someone comes up with a "AAA train sim" with decent US content.
Is there a way to turn off the brake notification boxes every time I move the brake handle?
No, buti feel your pain. I believe someone made a mod for a few of the locos. Come to think of it i believe the developers added an option as well 🤔
@@schnauzahpowahz Well, I'm tired of seeing a brake notification boxes every time I move the brake handle.
As good as this looks from a distance, up close and personal the mistakes and poor attention to terrain and asset planting is glaring. Not to be a negative Nelly, but like you, these things drive me nuts. I don't see myself spending 40 quid on this but I do want some of those assets for my project. I'll wait 'til it's on sale.
Yeah true. Im convinced Hanover Sub was better, cleaner
@@schnauzahpowahz It's unfortunate that, especially given all the names you listed in the beginning who helped create this, what could be a truly decent route on a Minerman scale, didn't have any QA before release. I would spend hours if I were payed to be their QA guy. to hunt down every floating thing, fix the textures and terrain in certain places and have a blast doing it.
@@daviddryden8088 Not to mention the superelevation issues that make the route unplayable when running from Grafton to Cumberland
Spot on review I was excited about this pack bought it and it makes me absolutely throw up and now I can happily say I'll never buy anything for train simulator ever again at least after the searchlight simulation SD40 Dodge 2 BNS F
I got a question, I have struggled with free roam on train sim 2021 for a while. I know how to set one up but my confusion stems from after placing some locos, rolling stock, etc. and I play for a bit and want to add more locos and rolling stock I lose all of my progress and have to start over. Any way to keep that from happening?
Hit f2 in the editor to save
The route itself looks incredible, but how do you feel about the locomotives? I really hope they updated the physics lol.
Oh boy I just saw the SD35 interior. Sheeeesh....
Smoking rocks
@@colebeck6506 Like the devs?
Nah sadly it's the same old sad ass rolling stock. The route itself is nice. Its abso massive. I barely scratched the surface, i was wore out by the time i was done w the vid
@@schnauzahpowahz Just wish they had better stock. Ruins the route for some.
What keys are you using to move around like this?
8 key/free cam and directional arrow keys on keyboard
@@schnauzahpowahz ok. Thank you very much. I will try that.
Another hard pass. I like 140 miles but that's about it.
Where do you download it from?
