We’ve had a few questions in recent Roadmap streams around Livery Designer compatibility as part of the Preservation Crew’s work. For this month’s Roadmap, we’ve enlisted the help of Jake, a 3D artist from the Pres Crew, to give you the lowdown on the work involved, and how we get them into game.

Available now, Penn Central Pack 01 brings to Train Simulator a variety of Penn Central power and extraordinary railroading experiences.

Author Gary Dolzall reflects on the ill-stared but nonetheless remarkably compelling Penn Central.

Legendary railfan Roger Puta visited Sand Patch Grade in 1969. We take a look at some of the scenes he captured.

America's best bass fishery? From 1969 to today, Toledo Bend has become renowned for its Lunkers. We take a look at why.

Released last week, and bursting onto Train Sim World 2 in a cloud of steam, Spirit of Steam: Liverpool Lime Street – Crewe has been exciting railfans everywhere. We thought we would look back at some of its most eye-catching moments!

A new developer and a new locomotive are coming to the DTG Steam store! Today we are joined by Carlos from Machine Rail to learn about the Machine Rail Team and their upcoming DSP&P Mogul locomotive.

This month's Roadmap covers some exciting updates for Great Western Express, Spirit of Steam, Northern Trans-Pennine, The Bakerloo Line, and much more!

Can you take the top spot? **Get ready for the next Online Open Series event at Toledo Bend, launching on June 10 and ending after a Championship weekend on June 27. ** (For more information about taking part in our online events, you can check out our forum post here [http://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/online-tournament-information.55435/]) Toledo Bend Need a hand bending the will of Toledo Bend to your favor?

We have had some fierce competition during the last few events, let’s take a minute to look back at the results we’ve had so far! Our debut cross-platform online tournament, the 2022 Online Bassmaster Classic at Lake Hartwell saw Sw1fty86ttv take home the first Bassmaster Classic with UndeadFrog in 2nd and ScoobyHaze420 in 3rd. HarryStankfoot came out swinging at the Chickamauga Lake Elite Series event knocking Sw1fty86ttv off the top spot down to 3rd. We also saw some new names appearing up at the top of the charts (maybe a sign of things to come?) and UndeadFrog and ScoobyHaze420 both still in the top 10. HarryStankfoot makes it 2 for 2 with the win at the Lake Seminole Open Series, a very impressive result! The question is though, do you have what it takes to take the top spot at the Toledo Bend Online Open Series? Rewards Every player who takes part in the event will be rewarded with a participation jersey and the winner will be the only player in the world to receive the winner’s jersey. Keep scrolling to check ‘em out!
