The Bull surely is one of my favourite Polish locos, and along with EN57 it's probably also the most iconic unit in the country, especially in the green livery. In terms of the SimRail update/DLC, the whole release was a mess, but looking at all the details in the loco, it was probably worth the minor confusion! Also, a fun fact about the naming of units in the country; in "ET22", the E stands for Electric and the T stands for Freight (Towarowa in Polish). Of course as you mentioned, The Bull was also used for passenger service, which I always find really funny. Imagine one of the most powerful locomotives in the country pulling just one individual passenger car! There were times when that was pretty much the norm in some parts of Poland. However obviously it feels the best when pulling those long and heavy as hell cargo wagons. Along with the "T", there are some other abbreviations that can tell you what kind of unit you're looking at; E = Electric ET = Electric Freight EU = Electric Universal EP = Electric Passenger/Express EM = Electric Shunting (translates to Manewrowa) EN or EW = Electric Multiple Unit ED = Electric Multiple Unit Express S = Diesel (translates to Spalinowa) ST = Diesel Freight SU = Diesel Universal SP = Diesel Passenger/Express SM = Diesel Shunting SN = Diesel Multiple Unit P = Steam Express (translates to Pospieszna) O = Steam Passenger (translates to Osobowa) T = Steam Freight Although I might have missed a few 😅
Man, if they made a sim with this amount of detail, depth, and quality, but centered in the US, I would buy it instantly. I think Run8 is close, but they need to get better textures and a modern platform. 3 is good, but behind.
They are going other places over time I think. They have to make a full rail network though so it bound to be slower process than say simple route DLC’s like you would get from Dovetail
HELL YEAH THE BULL, god i fucking love the ET22 201E series. Hope theyll also add modernised variants later on like the ET22 - 2000 series and hopefully we will get the EP09 later on too.
probably the most graphically accomplished loco to date. Just very bad how multiplayer works, all the detail is for nothing with jumping in a train set up by a bot.
I think it's perfect how multiplayer works but i'm looking at it from a developers perspective and know that if they don't do it this way it's going be extremely messy. What you want works on private mp server, not on open mp servers. It would mean as soon as someone leaves mid route a train would be stuck there and no longer move. You could say just delete it from track but that means you're taking away gameplay from the people doing switching and their gameplay is just as important as your gameplay. What do you think happens to the schedule when no bots are involved? The there's a difference between something being bad and you just not liking it. In this case you just don't like it but it isn't bad. I don't like Ferari does that make them bad too now?
What? MP works great, it's not tsw, their graphics are great and their MP is a lot of fun, nothing wrong with taking over a train controlled by a bot. tsw is rubbish compared to Simrail.

It’s a superb update
Looks amazing... really want the steamy boi.
Thanks for the ET22 tutorial, great video

Searchlight Simulations is actually working on US DLC in collaboration with SimRail team.
There’s a future US DLC being made by another party for Simrail.
They are going other places over time I think. They have to make a full rail network though so it bound to be slower process than say simple route DLC’s like you would get from Dovetail
Looks good and a good review as always. But no SP save game, so no sale.
they truly cooked it perfectly, locomotive looks amazing, but I myself didnt like the release as a whole
HELL YEAH THE BULL, god i fucking love the ET22 201E series. Hope theyll also add modernised variants later on like the ET22 - 2000 series and hopefully we will get the EP09 later on too.
The great loco!
This game is amazing.
Wow this game looks so much better than TSW bland and boring graphics
This game is to train sims, what Omsi is to bus sims
probably the most graphically accomplished loco to date.

Does this sim stutters like all train sim world sims and have that ugly texture popping out in front of you?
