I, frankly, am a little confused about all the angst surrounding the announcement of the release of TMR. You prefer prototypical virtual trains? Great - you've got TANE. You prefer model railroad virtual trains? Great - you've got TANE, and the coming TMR. Personally, I prefer BOTH (but usually not at the same time)! And let's not forget, those hardy souls that wouldn't think of using a newer version of Trainz than 2004, Or 2006, Or 2009, Or 2010, Or 2012! And what about those great content creators who have never run a layout in their life, unless you consider a simple loop or a piece of straight track that they use to test their content, a layout! All of us are trainzers, not better or worse, just different. Different things give us the pleasure of virtual railroading. Let's stop beating each other up over the things that give us enjoyment. Or worse, say that if you don't play (enjoy) the game my way, I'm going to take my marbles, and go home. I want you to enjoy Trainz the way you want to, and I would appreciate it, if you would want the same for me.
