you think you will get away with turning on deadeye when i didnt press the button? and to put the bow away when i was using it?

This DLC should not work. But it does.

They took Thomas with his cartoon eyes and gave him a baby-friendly throttle, then dropped him into a sim with full-fat brake pipe dynamics and 100-ton creaking metal wagons. It’s like putting a plush toy in DCS World. and yet somehow, nothing breaks immersion.

The controls are simplified (hold forward = go, hold back = reverse), but under the hood it’s still real steam physics. Throttle fills the steam chest. Brakes obey actual pressure curves. You feel the inertia when Annie and Clarabel grab hold of your frame. It’s adorable, but it’s also real.

And then there’s Diesel. Diesel doesn’t just accelerate. he chokes the environment. His soot plume is a carbon insult. He exists to contrast Thomas in every way, and I love him for it.

But the real miracle?
They made a realistic model of Sir Topham Hat using the TSW passenger rig. and somehow it doesn’t look cursed. He’s just… there, talking to you, calmly instructing you to be a Really Useful Engine like it’s a totally normal part of your day job.

This is sincere. It’s playful. It’s competent. It’s not trying to be ironic.
It’s Thomas the Tank Engine, fully embedded in a serious train simulator.
It’s the duality of man.

this is the most fun i've had with a game in years

accurate simulation made by a very dedicated and humble developer

wasted time with this just to be stuck with bugs over and over again

only criticism i have about this game is that the quest descriptions are completely unhelpful. i never know where i'm supposed to go and what im supposed to do there

the setting to turn off the music does not work

this game is showing ads every time you enter the main menu

the control mapping is super janky and the input filtering cannot be customized.

therefore the game is unplayable

also the performance is poor, with occassional freeze frames

the developer deliberately and intentionally broke the pathfinding
