Thanks for responding@ I am a big fan of the workshop, and both HSC and Ohio Steel have ample scenarios on the workshop. The problem with it is, that often, you need a loco - or - scenery package in addition to the one (HSC, for example) that the scenario is designed for. LOL, guess that is just more reason to spend more money!

Well, along with the Woodhead Line, I also got the B1 pack.
Which add on next?
Remember: UK or USA, must include steam, and the one most said will be chosen.
Also, I would prefer it if you didn't suggest addons I already have.

Do you really think anybody's wrote down a list of what you do have, so they don't make duplicate suggestions?
You'd be better off posting what you do have so that information is available in one spot rather than expecting folk to trawl through the whole thread to try and work out what you have.

I like the German Routes especially the high speed ones. Just Trains do some good stuff and when on sale are a lot cheaper than when Steam has a sale.

I'll vote for Ohio Steel 2. Portland Terminal also quite good, and Settle-Carlisle as well. By FAR, WLOS is THE best though. Close seconds (IMO) are Sherman Hill and Cajun Pass, but you have those.

I've played every route payware and freeware (mostly) ,except US routes which I don't like, or the Dutch freeware routes (yet).
Many are very good but it's hard to beat WCML North and second Three Countries Corner. Some freeware routes beat everything.
However, both need a lot of downloads ,payware and freeware, to appreciate the large number of scenarios available.

I like anything but an electric (or combination) throttle. Just doesn't work with RailDriver, but I keep my eyes open for anything else. I'm getting quite a collection, but always have room for more.

Well, seems like there's no clear choice so far.
Anyway, before I forget, I also have Flying Scotsman.

If you like steam, get this bundle :

If you can afford the sound pack too it makes it even better:

Just trains have a few other good steam locos too.

OH yeah, in another story, there's a side deal: occasionally, I can use my own money to buy a non-Steam addon. But right now, can we please focus on addons from Steam?

You mean Pacific Surfliner? If so, I looked on steam and a price is still listed.

Well, got the Pacific Surfliner addon via that free offer, but I'm still not sure which Steam addon to get when July comes. Any ideas?
