Trainz Tragic since 2002
Phil --
Don't think of TRS19 as "another incremental advance". There are a goodly number of us who honestly think it's more of a great leap forward. It's significantly better. When I compare my videos made in T:ANE with those from TRS19 I cringe at how primitive T:ANE now seems. Check for yourself -- youtube / philskene.
This is but one example. You could never ever get these effects out of T:ANE.

Always enjoy your videos Phil. I have a G-scale model railway in my basement, and appreciate your model layouts.
The original Trainz totally blew me out. I had been previously playing around in MSTS, but the ease of route building in Trainz was a revelation. Since then I have always enjoyed each (and every!) new Trainz release. But none has had that same impact as Trainz 1.3. Hence my use of the term "incremental" for subsequent Trainz improvements. I do not mean that as a criticism. I am grateful that NV3 are around to continue to "incrementally" move Trainz forward. As for TRS2019.... I am excited by the possibility of improving near track detail (PBR), and adding 3d to the crops which are a feature of my route. If it does turn out to be a great leap forward I will be here on the forums enthusiastically confirming that !!!
Also have to explain that the "incremental changes" line was an attempt at humour directed at Tony, who made a comment related to that following an earlier thread response of mine. I suspect he thought me guilty of "damming with faint praise". That was never my intention.
