    Fair enough but it’s not the first time the squelching has been very apparent, it really does destroy the immersion. Note this is in no way shape or form critical of the Class 90 which does look and sound quite nice actually and I probably will pick up in a sale at some point. No, it’s frustration at DTG’s continuing lack of progress in resolving fundamental core issues. The take they are getting from the current crop of releases ought to be enough to bring in some ace programmers and bottom it for once and for all.

    I don't know about the technical side of the house, but UK stock uses hook/chain and can use German stock. North American stock uses couplers. The only "cross compatible" loco that can do both I know of is the Class 66 since it's built in Canada.

    Agree, I just hate having multiple timetables to choose from. Another thing that’s bothering me is the lack of TT services and laying onto other UK routes. Hopefully this will change in the coming months.
    As it currently stands I don’t see any reason to pick up this dlc, day one.

    in fact, it's absolute nonsense when someone writes that if it weren't for the investments of console players, TSW wouldn't exist.

    whether you agree with this or not, it doesn't make any sense, since it was PC players who invested in the old generation simulator RS/RW/TS, and initially in the new generation simulator TSW.

    investments are important from all players.

    i’m not denying that, if you’d read what i said then you’d see that i never did. my point is that the majority of investment comes from console players

    I’ve seen these running on the North London Line too, as usual in pairs, so perhaps it could be put on the Suffragette Line for some added variety.
    Of course also other sections of the WCML and the ECML. Just using it in free roam is not good enough and a bit of a cop out in all honesty, I want to see it as ai traffic not be the only one on the route.
    I’d of thought there’d be some popularity for game packs to that end, as long as some new scenarios were done as well as adding it to the TT I think they’d sell well.

    Er, how exactly is it console PLAYERS being a burden?
    Why all this negativity against fellow players of the game? (Not just you but several posters here).
    We are one community, yes?

    They don't run on the GOBLIN, but they do appear on the NLL running between the GEML and WCML.
    Hopefully when the Mildmay line timetable is updated for the extension, a Class 90 layer will be included.

    This may change when the Class 99 comes in to service, as tests are going on for heavy AC freight locomotives between Hampstead Heath and Stratford via South Tottenham. The wires have been replaced recently on the Tottenham incline, which I think allows for heavy AC freight, still waiting for the updated Sectional Appendix to cover these changes.
