JustTrains releases Class 60!

The long awaited Clas 60 locomtive pack from Just Trains is here!

The Class 60, introduced between 1989 and 1993, is the last mainline diesel locomotive built in the UK, and 100 units were produced. Class 60s are still giving sterling service, providing raw horsepower on services where more modern locomotives struggle, and the Class 60 is now viewed as something of a classic.

These locomotives can be used to haul heavy freight in any RailWorks or Rail Simulator route, and this add-on includes a set of scenarios for you to drive on some of the default RailWorks and Rail Simulator routes.

Class 60 is supplied in 10 authentic liveries and is modelled with exacting attention to detail, all the way down to small features such as grills and vents. The realistic cab features accurately modelled and correctly placed controls, and you can even use the windscreen wipers and move the individual window sunblinds up and down to aid visibility when the sun is low in the sky.

The distinctive sounds of the Class 60 were recorded from the real locomotive and include the unique engine start-up sounds and horn.

Manners

It has come to my attention lately that the lack of manors within the Rail simulation community is lacking.

bossing and shouting at people will likely result in PEOPLE IGNORING YOUR POST, Its not nice for staff either when you back chat them or make them out to be stupid because they asked a question you can't be bothered to look into.

No manners? then a forum is not the place for you.

Staff and contributors (other members) help because they love rail simulation. Staff do not get paid for this either so abusing staff is effectively you writing your own grave stone.

Please and thank you goes a long way in a community and in real life too.

RailWorks is GOOD!

I am tired of seeing the constant Faults being picked with Rail Works because of Steams Involvement. STEAM is a perfect way of delivering product updates securely to everyone at the same time! and quickly too and more frequently.

That's all the complaints are about is about the fact you "HAVE" to be connected to the net... Balderdash, you only ever have to Activate the product via the Internet ONCE, after that you can set your Steam app to offline mode.

Fair enough some of you may not be able to have a Internet connection or a broadband connection but Whats a few pence to connect to the Internet the old way (Dial up 56K?) to Register the Sim initially and then perhaps once a month to check for updates?

Rail Works Is the future and I fully Support decisions form the guys at Railsimulator.com Steam Doesn't restrict what you can do, it may be a bit of a pain in the arse having to "re-instate sound packs of modifications made to default files, but there are ways around it.

Sorry but I'm tired of Rail works is Bad because you have to have a Internet connection, Get with the times, or stay with the old school like MSTS.

Rant over.
