After finding trainzeasternroutes.com, and looking between MSTS and Trainz, I recently purchased classics, figuring it was the newest version. Without reading all the reviews, I blindly ordered. Now what I've discovered is, the 'giant online community' (which you can not access without having a trainz serial number) has 90% TRS2004 and 2006 engines, locos, and routes, with no backwards compatibility because of the numerous 04 and 06 KUIDs that are not on the station.
ive entertained myself making my own route, and downloaded what is available from the DLS for classics, but is this really the route auron chose for new converts - advertising a large online database of content that they have excluded because of no longer having the dependencies.....
for instance.... i just want a conrail, or even better, B&LE SD series. it's impossible.
who would want classics besides someone who already had 2006?
If i'm just not finding what I need, please post. If i've stumbled upon the truth..someone please tell me, so I can spend my time elsewhere.
