It's the Mallard's sibling! LNER A4 Silver Link, named after a poem by Walter Scott.
>True love's the gift which God has given
>To man alone beneath the heaven;
>It is not fantasy's hot fire,
>Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly;
>It liveth not in fierce desire,
>With dead desire it doth not die;
>It is the secret sympathy,
>The silver link, the silken tie,
>Which heart to heart, and mind to mind,
>In body and in soul can bind.

Is the Japan Rail Pass over? As of October 2023, prices nearly double as pic related. You don't need to understand Japanese to see the old price on the left hand column, and the new price on the right hand column. JR press release:
https://japanrailpass.net/pdf/JRP_pressrelease_230414.pdf
My local JTB (largest Japanese travel agency and authorized Japan Rail Pass retailer) told me it's possible to buy one on the last day of Sept, wait the maximum 3 months to activate it, and then use it to my heart's content. Japanese nationals must show permanent residence outside of Japan and demonstrate they've lived at least 10 years out of the country.
I've bought it twice before about 15 and 10 years ago. Where would you go if you could go on any JR line? Touristy (nee Joyful) trains are so much more popular now and they're delightful to see everywhere in the country.

I want to get back into Train Simulators. I last played MSTS back in the days of Windows XP. I've since falling of the gaming wagon, but am ready to get back on. However Microsoft no longer makes Train Sims.
Help me out though fellas, what are the best options for someone who's looking for realism, and wants to play American Trains, not Euro.

What about board games?
There are of course:
-Ticket to Ride, seems to be strictly casual.
-Then there's Age of Steam, appears to have more focus on building and operation.
-And the mammoth that is 18xx, has the focus on finance.
Is there something notable that I'm forgetting here?
If you actually are a hobbyist, what's best version of each series?

Um. I should have removed that terrible "One Way Ticket" adaptation.
(It's the same in Finnish - "Menolippu", the expression 'ticket to ride' was rendered as such.)
Anyway, almost a year has passed and in the meanwhile I have slowly been edging towards the 18xx series. I'm now in an online game of 1860 and in a week I'll shove this thing down to the throat of of a friend physically.
As of now, I'm essentially playing against mr. Morgan and mr. Vanderbilt here so I'm just going to explore the mechanics of the game and cause general havoc on the board. I'm thinking of pump and dump on the IOW... The only question is when; should I take my money out now as I have tokenized all the important eastern stations and made the company useless in the long term or should I buy a "3-train" and pay more dividents for myself and then dump right before my 2-trains rust? It is a dilemma, currently I'm broke yet I'd need some capital to place my real winning bid in a timely manner.

I feel good about the future of amtrak...
More competent people are working at
Amtrak then ever before
Amtrak has actively renovated/replaced
Their rolling stock,making them more attractive
For new users
There is a renewed interest for train travel
Among the youth
Amtrak is better funded then ever
Private HSR projects will probably benefit Amtrak

In realms of fascination, wondrous gleams,
Resides a mind, attuned to vibrant trains.
With passion's fire, a love that brightly beams,
Autistic spirit thrives, where knowledge reigns.
The rhythm of the tracks, a joyful beat,
As timetables are etched in memory's keep.
Each train and bus, a tale that's bittersweet,
Unveiling worlds, in journeys vast and deep.
In vivid focus, details come alive,
From engine's hum to tracks' melodic sway.
With dedication, schedules they revive,
A symphony of routes, both night and day.

"Great British Railways" intends to implement the recommendations of the Grant-Schapps report, but stops short of full renationalisation (which the Conservative government are trying their hardest to rule out). By all accounts the government seems to have lost interest in actually going ahead with "Great British Railways" and the GBR "transition team" have produced very little other than buzzword-laden LinkedIn posts.
