DISCLAIMER:
This content will cover sexual material and is the most serious topic I will have to cover on this subreddit.

As a heads up, and like all of you, I am only finding out the information in real time. Please do not use our subreddit to propagate rumors. We are a community of fans, not haters looking to smear people whenever we have the chance.

Yesterday on Friday, October 2nd, I was made aware to a situation involving a Railroader developer who went by the username MrCSam. Sam was the PR guy for railroader as of recent, but before that, he was the head of the largest modding community of the game called The Western North Carolina Railroad (WNCR). Together, that community released and are releasing some of the coolest mods and assets we have used in the game. From rolling stock to buildings, to other assets, we have seen some really cool stuff from that community.

That is, until it was revealed by the railroader developers that Sam was banned from all projects.

Why?

Sam was listed on a sex offender registry here in the United States for possession of >!child pornography!<.

Our mod team is fan affiliate and we were never in talks/ operation with the Railroader dev team. None of the mods knew about this until everyone else did. As the lead mod for the largest subreddit for Railroader, we do not condone the actions of MrCSam and hold no hard feelings for what happened to him. Our youth is our most precious group and engaging in >!pornographic!< content surrounding them is evil.

To add, “Sam” is not his close to his real name and I will not reveal his legal name or which state the registry is from. The goal of this post is NOT to slander, libel or doxx this individual.

Some have made the joke his name was secretly an acronym for his actions and I must shut this down immediately. To say his username was a code for what he engaged in, or that the railroader devs were complicit in his actions is wrong and downright incompetent.

Lastly, I personally don’t know if this is a recent crime or something he did in the past that has come to light. Either way, we have courts in the U.S. to handle this while we sit behind a screen and judge from afar. Please do not use this post as a vehicle for rumors or more. There might be information I have gotten wrong or that may still surface.

The comments will be locked for this reason.

Thank you for reading and happy railroading.

Hello Railroader! After the release of my latest short-film, A FIRE WITHIN, I have begun the production process for the next installments and currently, I am in need of help. There has been a LOT of additions to the modding community and so much of that has been helpful with getting custom assets, props, scenes and more. However, for the sake of the story, I require certain indoor scenes. After searching Nexus, I have come to the realization that the number of buildings with flushed out interiors are very little or non-existent.

For the sake of the film, I am in need of a bar-scene, and a house. I have been opened to the ASLW DMU mod, which has a cafe-car and editable menu, as well as other passenger car collections that have a kitchen and dining car. Those help with the bar scene or creating the illusion of one, however, I am need of a building that conveys a house. I do not know of any mod to fill this gap and wanted to reach out and ask for help.

To add, I know the station at Ela or Wilmot can be entered, as well as certain industries found on Nexus. I already used this in the series and to avoid repeat scenes, I am asking for other suggestions.

Is there anything to answer this problem? If not, what about using rolling stock to create the illusion of one?

Any insight, discussion, or feedback would be greatly appreciated! 🚂
