The new (extremely rare) rainbow weather effect added to Medway looks so friggin' good. Makes me wish it wasn't so rare and there was a guaranteed way to trigger it lol.

Really love having this super unique train in-game, and getting more BNSF stock (especially in the older paint scheme) is really nice. The details on this thing are really top notch, and I've been having a lotta fun driving this old survivor of the Super Fleet.

I'm quite excited to get some more info about the Santa Fe version of this loco. But finally getting the H2 paint in-game is scratching a nostalgic itch for me already.

Can't wait to see the rest of the responses! Guess I'm not moving forward tho, oh well.

Only done a little bit of running on this route so far, but my is it stunning. I'm enjoying it more than Carlisle, just because it feels a lot more busy, with a lot more going on. Yes, it is significantly shorter, but that also helps keep the route digestible. You don't need to spend an hour if you just want to run a service with the 86, for example. Also just all the branches are.... so good. Adding Bickershaw and Fiddlers Ferry just add such a nice variety away from the electrical roars of mainline traffic, and allow for a much slower pace, off the beaten path.

Anyways, back to the title lol. I was curious how far into the Liverpool City Region scenery would be modeled, and was met with a very quick "not very" lol. The one exception is the Silver Jubilee Bridge raising high, and just BARELY visible from the WCML. I kinda love that the last time we got the bridge, construction on it had JUST started, and now it's just poking its head out in the distance, teasing the edge of the city of Liverpool JUST beyond reach. Friggin' wonderful worldbuilding, imo.
