TRS has dynamic braking, they just dont make dynamic brake noises.
When you switch it on and notch up, it sounds like the train is throttling up instead of whining like they should sound.

Trainz has dynamic brakes, but they do not work.

Here are a few freeway shots from my Rural To City route.

 

[gmfishbowl]

where can i get the rural to city route on the DLS what do I search for?

 

[knifeswitch1]

I'm sure if it was available on the DLS you would search "Rural to City".

 

[gisa]

Wow! I like your final attention to detail! It looks so real!

I look forward to seeing it when it's finished.

:wave:

Did you make those highway signs yourself? If so how'd you do it? That brings a lot of realism to the routes when you have signage that is the same as the real area...

Thanks.

It won't get onto the DLS as it's over 80 mb, and isn't finished (and may never be, as I'm continuously enlarging it), but if you want it now I can send it over Skype (http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/), which allows unlimited filesizes.

I rekinned them with Paint.net. The originals were made by Maddy25.

Not my usual fare, but I'll give it a shot:

(no pun in-ten-did, btw )

 

[WCL]

Now that is a SWEET shot .....Very nice

The Ocean rumbles across the junctions outside Toronto Union Station with some...unusual power on point as a GO train uses the parallel ladder track to enter the station. The CN tower makes for quite an imposing sight in the background!

 

[gisa]

Nice With some LRC cars and stainless steel cars, that shot'd be perfect. Someday...
