Initially I pre-ordered TSW5 Standard Edition for 66AUD but realised I could have the Pendolino and the Vectron and get pre- release access in the Deluxe Edition for 1USD less than just purchasing the Pendolino separately for the Standard Edition.
I refunded the Standard Edition (66AUD) and purchased the Deluxe Edition for 99AUD. It took abut 8 hours to download the 290 or so Gigabytes. First impressions are very good. I'm running this with no mods until the official release date and make a decision then (18/09/2024).
