I'm not too sure as it's pretty much the 1st time I played it. I've uninstalled it for the time being as well. Will likely go back to it at some point.

OK. I haven't found any problems so far due to the upgrade. I have been playing this since it came out as railworks years ago and this is the first upgrade they got right first time. If you can get into it it's a great simulator and you will end up buying loads of DLC from steam and other places. I have 32 routes and over a hundred loco's now as well as scenario packs and sound packs. I can highly recommend Armstong Powerhouse's sound packs. The HST Valenta soundpack is awesome. Fire up Great Western mainline (London to Oxford) and a HST scenario with that soundpack and just sit there and grin as you give it full pelt. Damn that thing screams!!

Likewise, if you're into steam, Digital Traction do some fantastic locos.
Do DLC locos appear on other lines and scenarios other than the ones that come in it's DLC pack?

If they're set up with quick drive, you can 'configure' a drive of your own using that loco yes. However, these are always just a simple X to Y drive.
You could dive into the scenario editor and make your own scenarios on whatever routes you have in your posession however, and this would give you a hell of a lot more say in what the schedule is like and so on.

I actually bought this game as Im into Flight Sim (FSX) and thought why not try sims for other transport modes. I got Eurotruck Sim (brilliant) and Train Sim.
Train Sim can learn a thing or two from Eurotruck when it comes to scenery lol. But its okay.
I only bought train sim for the American and Canadian rail systems as I have zero interest in the UK side of things. Gotta love em Union Pacific heavy haulers!!
Thanks for the HU on the update BTW OP

Some of the earlier routes tend to be sparse on scenery, but depending on who made the routes for RSC, some of them are visaully stunning. Westen Lines of Scotland is a newish route and is a favourite of mine for pure detail alone (and the '60s atmosphere!)

One of the biggest things train simulator could learn from ETS2 is to stop raining in tunnels and stations with full cover roofs!! That has always bugged me. If you go into a tunnel in ETS2 when it's raining you stop getting rain on the windscreen yet TS2013/14 you still get rain on the windscreen. RCS always gave the excuse that it couldn't be done but obviously it can be done.
