Steam is having a train game sale for the next week and I figured this would be a good place to ask for recommendations.

I really liked Truck Sim and I played a similar game called Train Life: A railway sim but that game has been long abandoned.

Are there any other recommendations for train games? I prefer the more simple/arcade like sims where you don't really have to mess to much with the controls or shunting. I also own Derail Valley but I don't know it's not really clicking for me, though I think I need to give it another shot.

Anywho train video game discussion and recommendations thread.

Is this a real problem though

I am currently using a xiaomi smart band 9 to track my rides (so thats GPS from phone + HR from band), I start and end the ride from the band and the app automatically transfers the route, speed and heart rate to strava
I am wondering if I should upgrade to a bike computer cus I am not worried about how much calories I burn nowadays, as I got the idea of it. I just want to know how far I went and how long it took me, and to keep track of cadence so I learn to ride optimally
I have been looking at XOSS G2+ (pic related) with 2 sensors - one for cadence on crank and other on rear hub for speed (rotation)
my questions about bike computers in general are:
>do the bike computer accessories (cadence, speed, HR) connect to it, or to the phone
>does only the bike computer connect to your phone and stay connected constantly, or only to transfer data to strava or an app once the ride finishes?
>can I just get on my bike and ride, and the bike computer will then automatically upload my ride to strava once I am done?
>can I still use my xiaomi band 9 to measure my HR? will I be able to see my HR on the screen? or the bike computer only connects to HR sensors and not other "smart" devices
>should I get a bike computer with an actual screen to show maps/route?
>should I even get a bike computer to begin with, I am riding actual gravel and trails, basically exploring my region on weekends and driving 2-3 times to work a week, will the sensors and shit survive the rough terrain?
>will my mechanical watch (8 year old skx007) get fucked by the vibrations from the single/double track?
Thanks

lol, Big Boy caused a "mass casualty event"

https://www.readingeagle.com/2026/07/03/delayed-big-boy-arrival-106-degree-heat-lead-to-mass-casualty-response-in-berks/
>Several thousand spectators — plus more than 900 excursion‑train passengers — converged on the station at 3501 Pottsville Pike for Thursday’s appearance of the historic locomotive. But as the Big Boy’s arrival was delayed more than an hour, temperatures climbed to 106 degrees, creating hazardous conditions for those who had already packed into the viewing area.
>With more than 100 people requiring on‑scene medical care and 35 transported to hospitals, unified command declared a mass casualty incident to bring in additional resources. One patient went into cardiac arrest and was successfully resuscitated before being transported.

The only way you can have RPM and speed measured by the same dial is if the model is locked to a specific wheel diameter. Different wheel diameters have different relationships between RPM and speed, and you need completely different gauge markings.
If it didn't claim to display RPM on the gauge, I might not have noticed, but it's 100% non-adjustable/tunable.
>5,000 m / hr divided by (400 RPM times 60 minutes in an hour) = 2083 mm per revolution
>2083 mm per revolution = 66.3 cm wheel diameter or about 26 and 1/8th inches
Hope that exactly matches your bicycle and you don't care about things like tire wear or inflation pressure.
>>
>>2078014
i don't care about rpm if it's the wheel's rpm. now if it can somehow measure the pedals's rpm (cadence) that's a different story, it would be like the rpm gauge in a car.
>>
>>2078015
im like 90% sure these are just third shift/b-grade qa fail units off of motorcycles

they probably work fine but after looking into them myself a few weeks ago it's a lot of cabling and weirdness that's probably not worth the SOVL of a mechanical gauge

if you dont want a battery operated thing you could try to figure out a stator/rotor setup to do it without needing a battery like engines use for their timing and tach but that might lose you enough energy to magnets that you can feel it

>>2078014
good models have a tuning screw and you can probably just replace the faceplate with the actual numbers on it. it should always measure RPM accurately (that is what it is actually measuring, with a little spring loaded clutch thingy right at the axle) but you can figure out that function for RPM to actual wheel speed and sharpie in new numbers on a piece of paper you stick to it

>tire wear
you're losing max like 2.99mm before your tire is unserviceable junk
>inflation
just keep your tires inflated??

Ocean liners are inefficient because they're designed for luxury and go too fast. A proper modern ocean liner would be a few times more efficient than taking a plane, but only for people who can work remotely while onboard. You have to think of it as a real form of transit and not a vacation.
>but they have to eat
They have to eat whether they're on the ship or not.

Now that wider tires on road bikes are the default and you can barely even find a rim brake bike for sale anymore (other than at the antique store), how long before Big Cycling realizes there's no more upgrades to sell and if they want to continue selling bikes now they have to promote thin, high pressure tires and turn of the century frames as an improvement (complete with convincing-looking data presented by convincing-sounding "engineers")
