One question though - why isn't the discount showing that was successfully applied during the checkout stage for the renewal price?
Shane
yes, but along with this subscription, you get discounts on items. Once your subscriptions end, you still can play with what you have purchased, just not the "free" stuff

As does our system... from the FAQs
Gold Class provides all the benefits of the Silver Class membership, plus a number of extras:
- A 25% Trainz Store discount on digital items
Of course there you had to buy an Xbox to use the extras, here you would either be able to use TANE for any TANE DLC purchased, or you would need to purchase TRS19 to use any TRS19 specific DLC.
Could you link to where you read that?Again, this is not the whole truth. When your sub ends your access to the game ends and the DLC you purchased is useless.

We'll need to check that out, but I checked your sub and it is showing a $2 discount until Feb 2019.
Good point. As Tony has mentioned, the subscriptions are in addition to the standard methods already in place. Since I spend most of my time in Trainz in Surveyor and only using Driver to test what has been created, the subscriptions with all of the extra stuff has little appeal. As a consequence didn't look that closely into what happens down the track if a subscription is stopped or suspended.
In past versions of Trainz, I have looked at the built-in routes as well as some on the DLS. Good for inspiration but was never attracted to run most more than once. Thus all the extra DLC being touted is not attracting me.
Therefore I think I will probably be going to get TRS19 directly. Already have a lifetime FCT which is enough for my needs.
you also can't drop and damage a virtual train... I can buy a lot of other things for $70. I could buy real model trains instead of, well, a game I can't physically touch anything in.
and what are you going to do with a few pieces of rolling stock unless you've already spend a lot more $ for all the other parts needed to actually use them.I am talking about new and used model trains or accessories for less than or equal to $70. A single piece of freight HO rolling stock new is about $25 - $40 which means I could get about 2 cars. The other option would be to buy a used one which is anywhere from $5 - $20 for a used car depending on quality and condition. Most are $10 - $12 and have metal wheels and couplers already on them! That means I could buy about 7 used real, physical HO cars for my model railroad in great condition or 1 video game that looks amazing, not completed yet, and will set me back a lot.
Okay Tony, so you get to pay more money to buy this product than ever before... because it includes more content and looks better than the Versions before? Two of these "new" routes are slightly revamped versions of older freeware (Niddertalbahn and Cornish mainline). Kickstarter County is II is a slightly revamped version of a newer version of a really old route (highland valley) and collumbia river basin was payware in TANE. The rolling stock for the Niddertalbahn , the Cornish Mainline and Kickstarter County is at least partly recycled freeware older than trs 2010 not even updated for pbr, as far as I can see. Sebino Lake is a little italian branch line usually operated by stadler GTWs, not an orient express! I still remember it being announced as payware for TANE a while back. Edinburgh Dundee sounds interesting, but I still have the terrible junction spaghetti of the ECML in mind. Honestly, most freeware routes are much nicer than any Trainz builtin or payware, for me, builtin is just a nice extra , not a reason for a higher price, seeing as many builtin objects often come from freeware developers who never see any money in the end. Second reason: if trs 2019 should be so expensive because it is better than TANE, we'd already be at over 100$ by now. The gold subscription is a total rip-off. The payware never was worth its price, sve for a few exceptions. Most freeware is much better. I also never needed a permanent FCT. But subscribers will lose the game the moment they unsubscribe. It's sad that probably the best train sim on the market ruins itsself by its own pricing policy.
You do realize that the subscriptions are optional?...

All in the eye of the beholder. Since I rarely look at the builtin and don't really do payware, it is all rather moot for me but brushing them all off seems a bit much.The payware never was worth its price, sve for a few exceptions.
