A pack that contains all my camera mods in a single mod, TSW 4/5 only.
Aim is to have a realistic driver's viewpoint. Some other small fixes like light adjustments are included too.
Known Issues
Only one minor issue: The scenario "Down The Line" on Great Western Expressway will not remove the driver NPC from the driver's seat as you take over - it is rooted in the way the scenario is set up. This NPC is placed in a non-standard way in this very old scenario, and it seems it is tied to fixed coordinates. If you want to play this one, disable the mod.

changed
- Class 323 and 158: for those preferring the default camera view, I've made it optional. Switch to the old cams by pressing RightArrow. Additionally, I raised the 323 cam further to reflect the real position better, which now gives optimal view through the wiper field.
Update v1.50 (2024-06-25)
Full compatibility update for DTG's UK and DE core updates, all files revisited and replaced with current versions. Hence the version jump as many DLC were affected. This should only need another update in case DTG push out another fix.

Comments
JBViper 5 Oct 2023
The BR 110 is finally playable in rain and snow :) Thank you for this mod.
Spikee1975 6 Oct 2023
Thanks :) The Brake key is hidden behind the E-brake handle, but that's a price I'm willing to pay, just move the brake handle a little to reach it :D
JBViper 6 Oct 2023
Yes, excellent compromise. You can also activate it while standing, so no gameplay concerns.
Spikee1975 6 Oct 2023
Exactly :)
FOURPACKBECKER 8 Oct 2023
Awesome mod, any plans to do the ES44c4 from Cajon? The camera sits high and the wipers are small, so when it rains you cant really see infront of you as the wipers dont clear that much.
Spikee1975 8 Oct 2023
I'm on it.
There you go. :)
FOURPACKBECKER 12 Oct 2023
your the best!
oct197 8 Oct 2023
Have you made the es44 in horseshoe cab view higher? if not I think the view needs to be higher as it seems too low. thanks
Spikee1975 9 Oct 2023
No, if you raise it you'll have a bad visibility in rain or snow. I've actually moved it back a little, but the position is still a bit higher than in my modded Cajon Pass ES44C4. Normally the driver sits about in the middle of the side windows.
It's probably the high control stand and the towered displays in HSC's ES44 that leads to the impression you're too low.
oct197 12 Oct 2023
That makes sense. Thanks for the info
OleDre 16 Oct 2023
Embrace the 13 :) And thank you for making these mods for us all to enjoy and have a better gaming experience.
Spikee1975 18 Oct 2023
Haha, was just making sure nothing goes wrong there.
Thanks for appreciating!
OleDre 20 Oct 2023
Y'all are very welcome, I Fear Not The 13, it's been in my life and my family's life for many years. As well as here again after checking the updates here, just this one mod showed me three updates, with a total of 16 and after clicking each one, I ended up with :)
More updates to go through.
I couldn't add an image to ya reply.
Spikee1975 20 Oct 2023
:) Next update is in the pipeline, adding the Class 150 and 158.
I think it will become a bit more quiet then, got all cameras that annoyed me adjusted now.
OleDre 20 Oct 2023
I Look forward to it, do you have the 187? some tried to give a few touch-ups, but it still looks like ya are sitting on the desk, that is if it can be changed. I tried searching for any that may have given it a once over. https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/search?query=br+187
Spikee1975 20 Oct 2023
Nope don't have that one as it is apparently not worth the money.
If it's on sale I might get it for the layers, and certainly include it here if I don't like the default cam.
OleDre 21 Oct 2023
Yeah, I saw and heard that sometime after getting it. all is good though, figured I would ask.
Spikee1975 31 Oct 2023
It will be included in the upcoming patch, got it for €7 in a bundle.
Hand92250 20 Oct 2023
Good job !
Spikee1975 20 Oct 2023
Thanks!
Myron 20 Oct 2023
is the ICE 3 viewpoint based on the enhancement pack by Nagiphaaa or a bit different? and if I understood it right, if I rename this to be sorted above the enhancement pack, the ICE 3 from KWG will then use the viewport of your mod instead of the EP because it uses that first?
Spikee1975 20 Oct 2023
I don't know that EP, all my cameras are based on the latest TSW4 default files, and my own preferences. (Lots of editing, starting the game, closing again, editing, starting the game... :D )
You'll have to try renaming the files yourself, maybe put a "!" in front of the filename of my mod and see if it supersedes your other mod then.
Myron 21 Oct 2023
yeah already did that and it worked fine but thanks still. :)
Spikee1975 31 Oct 2023
Update for compatibility with today's TSW core and DLC update is in the works, please standby
Mod should then work with TSW3 too, though I cannot test that at the moment.
Spikee1975 31 Oct 2023
DTG rolled back their update. Mod still requires a workaround that prevents it from being used on TSW3.
Spikee1975 1 Nov 2023
This mod is now fully up to date with the latest DLC patches from DTG. If you are using an older version of the mod, the updated Vectron might not work correctly. Always use the latest version of my mod :)
Minako 3 Nov 2023
please share instructions on how to change the location of the cameras in the cockpit
Spikee1975 4 Nov 2023
Join the TSC Discord - I won't do a tutorial here :)
Luke Barry 11 Nov 2023
idk why u keep updating this every few days its starting to get to the point of having to get rid of this mod because of it i feel its not worth using
Spikee1975 12 Nov 2023
"idk"? See the changelog. Adding new stuff, staying compatible with DTG's updates.
You don't have to use the mod if updates annoy you for whatever reason.
Btw, next update is coming to stay compatible with the latest DTG Vorarlberg update ;)
Luke Barry 14 Nov 2023
yeah not for me sorry as a modder for ATS & ETS2 i dont do every 2 days updates
Spikee1975 15 Nov 2023
It's your choice. All you need to do is overwrite the pak, but if that's too much feel free to delete it.
I'm also modding ETS2 (just for my own use though).
Ironically just because modders don't update their mods the Steam forums are full of bug reports that are due to outdated or badly maintained mods. :)
Boomaglev 14 Nov 2023
The rotem camera rework was really needed, i was so tired of looking down to setup the cab. Many thanks!
Spikee1975 15 Nov 2023
You're welcome.
By request, I've also adjusted the Amfleet Cab Car, will come in the next update. (And the new Blackpool 47)
jmsimulation 16 Nov 2023
Great mod!
Can you also do it for the Ge4/4 Rhb?
Spikee1975 18 Nov 2023
You can adjust the seat height as you like already on the Ge4/4. :)
Smokey 16 Nov 2023
When I have T menu with instructions, zooming works too, can you disable that as in Vanilla game?
Btw, nice mod!
Spikee1975 18 Nov 2023
No, not possible. That's core game code. And what you are describing has nothing to do with my mod.
Smokey 26 Feb 2024
But without that mod when "T" menu is toggled zooming camera is disabled. So it must be your mod thing.
Spikee1975 27 Feb 2024
Nope. That's the effect of GodMode's Zoomier Zoom, not my mod. :)
Padruig__ 20 Nov 2023
Excellent pack, you'de made the ICE1 usable now! Well done for the improvments to all the locos. Is there a way for some trains to not have the adjustments, the 323 and 158 i liked the prevouis cab view. Thanks!
Spikee1975 21 Nov 2023
Not really, unless removing the mod temporarily. (or just renaming it by changing the .pak suffix to something else like .bak or .inactive. Or use the Mod Manager available here.
Why do you want those extremely laid back cameras back, making the window view too narrow, instead looking at the whole cab?
The point of the mod is to have a view like you were actually the driver, and the default 323 and 158 don't give me the impression as I feel I can't reach the controls.
If someone doesn't like a particular cabview, that's nothing I can address other than telling you to disable the mod when playing a certain route - as the mod contains 90 cabviews I do not want to upload and maintain each one separately.
Spikee1975 21 Nov 2023
Another update was necessary, as I just received a Steam update affecting Edinburgh Glasgow and the 385. Mod updated to v1.27 to reflect the changes.
Nippur 27 Nov 2023
I found a problem with the 385, windows are almost white and can't see the exterior.
Spikee1975 27 Nov 2023
Are you using other mods? The issue you are describing cannot be caused by my mod, as I'm not editing materials, only coordinates.
Nippur 28 Nov 2023
I tried removing all mods except this and godmode, also removed all ini settings but when this mod is active, the Class 385 has white windows. All the other cabs looks great.
Spikee1975 29 Nov 2023
I cannot reproduce what you are describing.
Maybe redownload the mod and try again.
KCRCRailway 5 Dec 2023
Was it possible to find a way to make it compatible with https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world/c19-patches/i4045-reduction-of-the-intensity-of-bro-br-425-red-lights?
Spikee1975 6 Dec 2023
I am currently working on my own 425 fix to include here. In addition to the tail lights, I will dim the marker lights too.
Edit: Done, v1.30 uploaded includes the 425 light fixes.
KCRCRailway 6 Dec 2023
Seems like I still got the nuclear tail light after using v1.30 with no other mods included, any clue what I should look at to figure out the issue?
Xander1986 6 Dec 2023
Me the same it doenst work!
Spikee1975 6 Dec 2023
Then you have selected the Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr 425. I have not changed that one, as it is a ToDv3 vehicle.
BRO is using ToDv4 which uses completely different light emissive values.
Can't be done for both, it's just due to the switchover to a new lighting system with TSW3. They had copied the Rhein-Ruhr 425 to BRO without adapting the lights, which I did.
So make sure you are using the BRO425 on TSW3/4 routes. I've double checked - it works.
Xander1986 6 Dec 2023
Eh no! Thats not the case.... You now writing that I am talking about the 425 from Rhein Ruhr, but that is not the case! It's really about the BRO version
KCRCRailway 7 Dec 2023
Same as Xander, I used the BOG one that only run on BOG
Spikee1975 7 Dec 2023
I don't know. Probably another mod you are using is interfering with mine.
KCRCRailway 7 Dec 2023
I'm testing with no other mod but this one only (still have custom .ini)
Spikee1975 11 Dec 2023
Todays winter core patch needs the mod to be updated, hang in there. Will go out tonight.
Myron 12 Dec 2023
v1.30 is what we needed for the recent BRO 425 headlight fix mod which probably had a compatibility issue with this. even though I don't own BRO I miiiight buy it at some point, and a TOD4 425 would come in handy anyways (idk why though lmao the TOD3 one works well enough) but thanks!
Myron 15 Dec 2023
will the BRO 425 light overhaul also be available for the NRM 425?
Spikee1975 16 Dec 2023
Not needed. NRM 425 runs on pre TSW3 routes, so no action needed.
BRO 425 was a special case as it's a TOD3 vehicle on a TOD4 upgraded route.
But, never say never ;)
And the top marker cone is irrelevant on NRM, as there is no volumetric fog for old routes.
Poedem_Poezdato! 17 Dec 2023
Hello, dear Spikee1975! I really want to draw your attention to the fact that when the light in the locomotive cabin is turned on, when viewed from an external camera, it looks completely unreal! The cabin windows are usually too transparent, the interior lighting or the cabin textures themselves are too bright, and the camera's appearance looks unnatural! Is there any way to fix this? This is bad taste or incompetence due to the lack of an artist in DTG, but they will never fix it, so many locomotives have this bug with lights and cabin windows.
Spikee1975 17 Dec 2023
Which loco are you talking about?
Also, might be worth checking out other modders (JetWash has fixed the saloon lights on the 700 for example).
Poedem_Poezdato! 17 Dec 2023
I mean, most of the locomotives in the game. There is 1 locomotive with good glasses Cajon Pass BNSF SD 40-2 look at what kind of glass it has and what the interior looks like from an external camera through the glass and what transparency there is and compare it with all the other locomotives in the game and you will understand what I'm talking about. Thanks for your attention!

While tracking down a mod or mods that would cause TSW4 to hang in a forever loading loop when trying to load several different scenarios, actually there were three so far, Two Vest mods for CSX and NS DLCs. As well as a sound mod for the class 155 working with the mod author it was worked out, I understand this may be TMI, but as I was putting the mods back in one at a time load the gammee and test & so on. I then ran across the issue as you see in the images, this only happens when CabCamFix mod is installed, and this only has happened with the class 166, when doing the "Down The Line" Scenario and when choosing either of the services on Platform 8 Slough & Platform 10 Reading and Platform 14 Hayes & Harlington doesn't have an NPC in the seat, this not an issue.
I un-installed every mod from the game and started all over again and I only have "CabCamFix" installed, I did not un-install the ini mod, I never heard of an ini mod that would have this kind of an effect on the game. Up til now I never had any issues with the CabCamFix, this is very odd. I tried to make the images smaller but still be able to see what is happening. And I will remove them to keep the thread cleaner looking if that is what you wish.

I've seen exactly the same thing and haven't got as far as testing it mod free, but I suspect it's yet ANOTHER bug with the game. The NPC isn't disappearing when you sit in the seat and I'd be very surprised if a mod that simply altered camera co-ordinates could prevent that happening. It only happens in this one scenario and if you look in the external view there are two characters in the seat. It maybe that this mod has unmasked a bug that is hitherto unseen because the player has always blocked out the NPC. It’s a PITA but all I can suggest is remove the mod to play this scenario and put it back in for everything else.
OleDre 21 Dec 2023
The scenario is playable :) But I would not be surprised if it's not another Game Bug, nevertheless, I figured Let you both know what is happening as I see it. And yes it's not that much of a hassle to remove the mod to do one or two scenarios.
I just noticed that I neglected to mention that the choose from the list that pops up was screen-capped from TSW3 as this doesn't show up in TSW4. Thanks for getting back to me. But it is kind of funny when ya think about it, no sense in crying :) Oh yeah If y'all want me to remove the images let me know.
JetWash 21 Dec 2023
This is entirely Spikee’s mod, I’m just an interloper. Did you say it works ok when the mod is uninstalled? Maybe Spikee could take a look at it.
OleDre 21 Dec 2023
With the mod removed, No Eye & Tongue :) took a few screencaps.
OleDre 21 Dec 2023
OleDre 22 Dec 2023
Things happen, it's the life of modding, as for the second man I will have a look-see and grab a few screencaps, let me know if I should take the images down to keep the thread clean. This was not the game being buggy then?
I was going to do a scenario like the two-faced guy :), I wanted to ask you first because I don't want to do ya wrong, would rather promote the mod and I would have a disclaimer saying all was fixed and show it. Merry Christmas.
Spikee1975 22 Dec 2023
testing... hold on...
I have checked my mod and my initial suspicion was not true, I don't see any error.
When do you see the two faced guy? Service on P8?
OK, he's on P10. Wait.
That's weird. Using my mod, the driver stays in the seat and you're on top of him. Without it, he disappears as soon as you take a seat. (Secondman has nothing to do with it, it's a driver)
I'll need some time. Because the 166 is set up a little different. The camera coordinates are not relative to the seat, but to the loco centre. This must have something to do with it.
If it only affects this scenario, I'm gonna leave it as it is. If I can take over any service on foot, then it's not worth the effort.
I'm not sure how this old scenario is scripted. But it seems the way the NPC is removed is different than normal...
If I take over any service, it works. It is just this one scenario that works in a different way.
But I will see on which coordinate it depends, maybe changing the X a little will resolve this
Nothing I can do here
The driver change in this scenario is somehow depending on the coordinates, if I change the camera just by 0.1 it's not working. This one is pretty weird... the NPC is not placed in the vehicle like a normal NPC, it seems he is tied to fixed coordinates that are related to the driver CAM not the SEAT. As these coordinates have changed, he is non-existent for the game and doesn't get removed. So the bug is in the design of that one scenario. (which is one of the oldest TSW scenarios.)
I won't remove the 166 from the mod just because of this one scenario, so I'll leave it at that.
OleDre 22 Dec 2023
I hear ya, and it's no biggie, I didn't expect you to go through all this, sometimes it's just not worth it, and hear ya and can understand. The mod can be deactivated when doing either of those scenarios on Platforms 8 and 10 and I just did some of a timetable service with a 323 and took over from the AI NPC with no issues at all. There is something that is just off with the 166 and "Down The Line Scenario" The pop choice of routes to take does not show in TSW4 & Yet in TSW3 it does most times the is. I appreciate what you have done and the time you took to make this mod, not to mention troubleshoot it now. Heck, you have done more than you need to with this one, and if I could tip all y'all modders I would, I can live with it as is.
Spikee1975 22 Dec 2023
The introductory scenario on GWE was also broken for years, not recognising you taking a seat. It seems they are set up differently.
OleDre 22 Dec 2023
So it would seem, and TSW4 is just helping to bring the issues to light even more so on this one, that is a shame I kinda like the 166, the way it sounds and rides. so much more could have been done with it. Who knows if they released the source code like a few others have, well then maybe. Wish I could have stayed with modding but life had its way and those days are way beyond me now. That is why I try to give back what I can in my own way.
Spikee1975 24 Apr 2024
You're a good spirited nice chap Dre.
OleDre 24 Apr 2024
Thank you, I do appreciate your kind thoughts, and I try my best to be.
CTSL Railfan 25 Dec 2023
is it possible for you to lower the caab view for the mbta cab car? it's way too high up when compared to real life.
Spikee1975 26 Dec 2023
You mean the CTC-3? I've worked on this already, I think it has good view. If I lower it, you can't see the cab-signalling displays...
Khonsu 27 Dec 2023
were to install this mod on the TSW4 from gamepass?
Spikee1975 28 Dec 2023
I don't have that, so I don't know. I'm using the Steam version.
Khonsu 29 Dec 2023
ouch
Nuwanda 14 Feb 2024
On the gamepass version, each DLC has its own folder. By default it should be in C:\XboxGames. For e.g., I have mine here: C:\XboxGames\Metrolink Antelope Valley Line\Content\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC.
Spikee1975 18 Feb 2024
Nuwanda, does the mod work with the Gamepass version?
Stexred 1 Feb 2024
the West Somerset Railway update breaks the class 33 (window view is bad now )probably other trains on that route too did not check the rest
Spikee1975 1 Feb 2024
New update is just being uploaded :) (WSR Class 33, 47 and 52 affected)
Stexred 1 Feb 2024
cool :)
chalismaximus 14 Feb 2024
Hey I dunno if this mod already does this but can I get a driver POV cam while an AI is driving the train?
Spikee1975 18 Feb 2024
Not possible. Sit in the secondman's seat :)
YamadaRyo 26 Mar 2024
If convenient, can you provide version v1.29 again?
It runs well on my TSW3, at least working on CRR SD40
The latest v1.37 version will cause issues with my game, such as CSX GP38-2/UP SD70ACe/UP SD40-2, which will disappear after entering the game
If you don't understand what I'm saying, feel free to ask me anytime, because my native language is not English
Spikee1975 29 Mar 2024
Hi YamadaRyo,
the mod is based on the TSW4 files, so it's not intended for use with TSW3.
Making it TSW3 compatible would require me to reinstall TSW3 with all DLC, extract all the needed files and basically redo the mod from scratch.
Sorry to say but I'm not interested in supporting TSW3 any more. It's double the trouble.
Rayne 9 Apr 2024
I'm on the discord so I can reach out if preferred, but I was wondering if this effected, or on request, might be able to include, the Underground '72 stock? It'd be nice if the speedo was within the default field of view.
Spikee1975 21 Apr 2024
That would only require you to look down a bit, no change of camera position. I'll not make changes to the default rotation, you're always looking straight forward.
Smokey 22 Apr 2024
Hello, yours new version of mode is crasing the game. Until update which is 2hours old it didn't crash.
Spikee1975 22 Apr 2024
I have tested it succesfully on my end. There is nothing in it that could cause a crash, no idea why it crashes for you. When does it happen exactly?
By the way, I just made another update which fixes the too weak reading lights in the Semmeringbahn Taurus. :)
Smokey 22 Apr 2024
Oh, I will try that new one. It crashes on startup, without your mod nothing. Afterall, I will check new version.
Smokey 22 Apr 2024
Now it is okay :D Thanks!
Spikee1975 22 Apr 2024
Glad it's sorted, enjoy!
Redstoneia 23 Apr 2024
Hey, is it possible to fix the engine room lights on the SBN 1116 like you did with the clipboard light?
would be nice :)
Spikee1975 24 Apr 2024
Your wish is my command...
v1.42 available with fixed Engine Room lights :)
Redstoneia 24 Apr 2024
Thank you! :)
Xander1986 24 Jun 2024
Please can you check the Class 800 Azuma? They have changed also for the UK stuff for a few weeks ago! Thanks :)
Spikee1975 24 Jun 2024
No one complained yet - what's wrong with it? (I don't play TSW myself anymore)
Edit: Thanks for the heads up, the RVV has changed. Will update asap :) These huge updates are a pain. So much to check for.
Xander1986 24 Jun 2024
Thanks! :)
Myron 25 Jun 2024
since you can now add unfoldable spoiler fields in mod descriptions, I just wanna recommend that you could throw the changelog in there so we don't have to scroll that far to get to the download ;)
Spikee1975 25 Jun 2024
Good idea! Done.
Myron 25 Jun 2024
looks much better, thanks :)
Spikee1975 25 Jun 2024
Indeed.
Note there will be another big update coming - I have only updated what I found in DTG's patch notes to presumably affect the RailVehicleViews which I altered.
I cannot rely on their patch notes to be complete, so I am basically redoing the mod based on all updated paks, which will take some time as this mod is now almost 100-in-1 mods.
Before I am finished, if you experience something strange, remove the mod and test again and please report if it's my mod that caused the effect. Thank you, should be finished updating the all updated mod on the weekend, which will then be 100% compatible. It might be already - but I must extract and compare the files from all paks again to make sure so I can sleep at night :)
Spikee1975 25 Jun 2024
Full compatibility patch is out - I've extracted all paks that were affected by the UK and DE updates, and updated the files accordingly. Should only need another update when DTG decides to release patches again.
OleDre 28 Jun 2024
Have you thought of doing the class 08 shunter, took a few screenshots and cobbled them together.
https://pasteboard.co/hVIYdPPwikfx.jpg
Spikee1975 1 Jul 2024
Nope.
OleDre 2 Jul 2024
Okay, thank you for getting back to me.
Spikee1975 1 Jul 2024
A word on the Bremen-Oldenburg Br 425:
In the latest patch, DTG destroyed the possibility to tune the marker lights by removing the spotlight sources completely. By doing so, they destroyed my fix which was carefully tuned. Now, the top marker is the only illuminating light source unless you turn on high beams.
It is now impossible to give the 425 realistic lighting by modding the values. Instead of applying my fix they pretty much ruined the thing due to their incompetence.
IsambardKingdomBrunel 26 Jul 2024
Many thanks for this Spikee.
Spikee1975 27 Jul 2024
Much appreciated, glad I can help make the game a little better.
bali2516 7 Aug 2024
Spikee, is this mod incompatible with any other mods? The past couple versions haven't been working for me, including the latest version
Spikee1975 8 Aug 2024
This can never be guaranteed, as everyone can put out a mod that modifies the same files as mine. You can change its priority by putting an exclamation mark in front of its filename though.
Everyone is using a different set of mods, so I cannot check against every other mod out there daily. In the end, it's my mod based on the vanilla TSW4 and not others, so all I can gurantee is that it works fine with TSW4.
nvlmao 7 Aug 2024
Thanks man, really grateful that somebody in the community is making QoL changes the game desperately needs.
Spikee1975 8 Aug 2024
Thanks for appreciating!
Tavish 17 Aug 2024
Does this still have the 465 camera patch? I don't see a difference when using the mod.
Spikee1975 21 Aug 2024
Yes it does. Sounds like you have another mod interfering, that's not in my hands.
Tavish 21 Aug 2024
I took out all other mods and it looks the same. I'm not sure if something is just wrong with my game.
zgrank 27 Aug 2024
how can i use this mode with epic games?
Spikee1975 20 Sept 2024
Sadly I don't know. I would need a copy of the game from Epic, as I don't know how the file structure works on that version. I know that won't help, but for the full experience I can only recommend buying from Steam, as all mods are working on there.
torchwood_southend 21 Sept 2024
Great stuff, thanks! One of the absolutely necessary mods.
Spikee1975 21 Sept 2024
Thanks! It was born out of frustration and deciding not to be depending on DTG and waiting for them to address feedback :)
Eskrim 5 Oct 2024
I have proglem with class 385, windows are white and i cant see the exterior. I tried deactivating other mods except this one and i found out it causes proglem to the window
Spikee1975 6 Oct 2024
That is not caused by my mod, unless you have a very old version. In that case, redownload it.
ABoldOne 15 Oct 2024
Hi with the latest tsw update the mod breaks the LZB "B" indicator in the BR 101 Expert.
Spikee1975 15 Oct 2024
I have just finished updating the mod with the newest data - check back in a minute :)
ABoldOne 15 Oct 2024
It does work again. Thanks :)
merlino51108 4 Nov 2024

Can you add camera updates for the new MBTA route?
Spikee1975 23 days ago
I do not have the route and do not plan on getting it unless in a deep sale.
