You know, I think the patch has finally reach that situation where it does
everything I had ever hoped I could do with only 1 exception (I just wish
the scale was 256 times bigger with towns only about 20 times bigger, ie
cities having suburban services, and plenty of space for nice big junctions
and long realistic running lines! <me dribbles whilst daydreaming>). For
trains, there's so much you can do now to imitate the prototype so well that
it's hard to imagine any leaps and bounds that might turn up in the future.

I really just want to say thank you to Josef and the whole patch team for
their splendid work in developing what has to be THE ultimate computer game
patch of the world. There can't be many others out there that have kept
totally fresh a game that is now a decade old!

Well done all,

How about new sound effects, and train running and steam puff sounds ;)

Who knows what the future will bring? Not me...

It's not something I or anyone else is working on, due to the insanely
large amount of work involved.

And something is only impossible until someone does it, eh? :)
