Gwe Remaster: Appreciation And Discussion Thread

Been going back to some of the old scenarios that I either never did on my ongoing profile or had never got round to (ie some of the Cargo Line based ones) and feels quite surreal doing those older ones with it looking so exquisite now.

 

Take this with a pinch of salt, but I saw this on a TSW Facebook group... Someone appears to be making a mod to the 350 to remove the gangway and make it a authentic looking 360.

 

So....Tell me about your childhood?

 

Dunno if anyone has already mentioned but a group by the name of 75KV Studios are working on making a freeware 360. I've attached the livestream where it was revealed. It's still a WIP, and they plan to include ATP for the /2 which is mega. I'm very excited personally.

 

I would love to see an 802 timetable for this route in the future. Paid or free. I’d happily pay for it though.

 

Would happily pay more for any other era /j

 

D’you mind attaching the link again? I can’t see anything.

 

Embeds don't work on mobile (assuming ur on mobile)

 

The shadow of the gangway really puts into perspective how restricted the view on the 350 is.

 

I know you don’t like efficient, reliable trains /j

 

But it would need a new route to go with it.

 

No it wouldn’t. The 802’s can run without OHLE.

 

Well obviously..... But...... They ran as electric between Paddington and Reading when introduced into service.

 

IRL true, but the route doesn’t have OHLE all the way to Paddington. The 802 can still run on diesel though to compensate for that.

I could use the argument of the diesel legends pack. Those trains weren’t meant for that era that the route is set in, but the timetable still fits in nicely. No reason not to include a 802 timetable along side it.

 

Yeah which is why I said it needs a new route with full OHLE......And what you say is also why the DL Pack is rubbish as it just doesn't fit the route and breaks immersion. I only bought it in a sale for the stock in other routes and LD.

 

Maybe this will be the TSW7 route that’s extended, maybe as far as Bristol, maybe now they’ve done the remaster that’s as far as they’ll take it. I noticed the floating forest appears on this route too.

 

I’ve heard more reports of them breaking down or not being able to run during power outages compared to the old and iconic trains of the past, they also actually look different from each

 

It would make more sense to just add the OHLE and extend it on the existing GWR remastered route. As they’d be selling us a partial duplicate route with some slightly updated 2025/26 assets. I couldn’t see a modern version of this route ever happening though IMO.

What they should do is start another GWR route from Reading and terminating at Bristol and Oxford. We’d have two choices where to drive to. Similar style on the MML.

 

They didn't change any scenery for that anyways. What you're suggesting requires some kind of change to the scenery. And then at that point you might aswell refresh the whole thing.

 

I think you are mixing Yellow up with Davery.
