Steam Sale - speculation and conjecture

[deltic009]

The hardest bit is the waiting. I don't get paid till Friday and I've nothing spare before hand so I have to patiently watch and hope none of the prices get revised before the 19th.

I've changed my wishlist to be just stock now, no routes as they still take a big chunk, especially compared to the Challenger&Big Boy twin pack at £4!!

Well I have to confess I swallowed my pride and forked out for the V2 class 66s. Have to admit, so far I'm quite impressed with them

[Stanlow]

Went and got the Challenger, Big Boy and Sherman Hill bundle last night. Seeing a Challenger trundle through Kingmoor is hilarious

The ICE 2, Class 465 and Class 377 didn't see much of a decrease in price in the sale. Are they worth it at the current sale price, or should I leave it and hope Thanksgiving/Christmas sale they fare better?

[smarty2]

I got the BR423 & BR232, I was after the ICE 2 but I'm not paying the price, wish they would do it at 50% off.

Well my very nice wife let me get the class 150, 325 and the Bristol to Exeter add-ons
So I one happy bunny
Dave:)

P.S. Is their any chance someone could do the tunnel occlusions for the Bristol to Exeter route please?

[smarty2]

JT are working on upgrading the route with all the spanglies.

If you are planning on buying Hamburg - Hannover the ICE2 is probably not worth buying as it looks like it might come with the route. Otherwise I'll wait until the sale price comes down.

Okeyday Holz thanks for the advice.

Same here - so far, all I've bought are the BR232 and BR423. I bought the ICE pack in the last sale, which represented good value even though I already had ICE 3.

I thought long and hard about items to buy in the Steam sale.......and then bought the SSS 7F Enhancement Pack!

With at least 32 paid-for routes (including core) and I don't know how many loco downloads in my collection I still have many activities I haven't even attempted.

I did about 800 hours in my first year (RW2 days), but still haven't doubled that.

Funny, I used to want everything I didn't have and now I have more than I get time to use.

Anyway, some good deals there for those just starting out...

Been a good sale to flesh things out a bit, at least for me anyway. Now to find more time and piece together some scenarios. Two done and on the WS now, another languishing, one promised for a mate who loves the ECML...need more hours in a day!

A long time ago when I was but a teen I went to a store and they had accidentally marked an entire display box of trading card packs as the price of 1 pack.....not being as ummm civically minded as I am today I hurriedly purchased it, without correcting their pricing error, and half ran to my beat up ole first car. I might have felt worse, save I knew many people who had worked there and been treated pretty badly, the business went out of business as it was pretty bad company all around. Still I remember that feeling of wanting to click my heels, as I ran with my purchase. It's that feeling when you know you made out with just an insanely good deal....this time at least I have no guilt. I made out like a bandit, and it's completely legit....! I do love the Steam sales..... now, to explain to the wifey....

My one and only purchase was the London to Faversham less 80%, which by the way was the top seller. No regrets as I already had everything I wanted.

Well, as a relatively new user of TS2013, I picked up a fair bit of new content. Targeted mainly at what I needed to run scenarios (lots of units, which I'm not really keen on), but also some of what I wanted in the stable

Routes - WLOS - only 40% off, but the £14.99 was acceptable to me
Locos - 31, 33, FL66, 86, Jubilee, B1 and J94
MUs - 156, 390, 325, 158, 101

Would have liked the Jinty and 2MT, but they would have put up the bill significantly

That little lot should open up a large number of new scenarios!
Hopefully my TS install wont now do a meltdown...
