North Transpennine Remaster.

For clarification, does the remaster merge the Heavy Freight pack into the main pack, or do you still need to buy it separately?

 

The 40 does need better sounds, including the distinctive field diverter shift and that frantic EE roar at full bore.

 

Nevermind looks like the Heavy Haul pack is also getting an upgrade - great news.

 

Just to set expectations, the Remaster will be Free
Class 37 pack that adds much more gameplay - paid

No new sounds are coming to existing content.

there will be more information in due course - Scenery in places has been completely rebuilt in Huddersfield, Batley, Dewsbury, others are being rebuilt but more details in future roadmaps in the weeks and months to come.

 

Ah that's good to know

 

Thanks for the update. I appreciate you might not be able to answer this, but will we see a new soundpack introduced for the class 37?

 

I'm not going to complain about it being free and I'll certainly purchase the class 37 pack.

 

My only request is they layer in as much of the Just Trains stock as possible!

 

Cant confirm or deny this currently, not the answer you was hoping for but thats the best i have right now.

 

So question if the remaster and 37 go well, would consider doing more br content in the future (yes or no is all thats needed heh)

 

Is the route still set in 1983? Be well worth bringing forward a couple of years, to get all the 80s library in…

 

Lets get NTP out the way first...

Route era is not changing.

 

Any updates to the signalling would be good to know.

 

Fair enough, still a day 1 buy

 

Tees Valley next please

 

Glad the era isn't changing, it's currently the only pure BR blue era route we have at the moment (even then the first signs of change were already apparent such as Railfreight Grey & Large logo). Hopefully the signalling gets a look in too, there's some parts which don't quite work. Although updating lighting alone will make this classic playable.

 

I have to say I'm quite looking forward to this.
NTP, alongside WSR, was the first add-on I bought after buying TSW4 (both were included in a buy one get one free add on sale if I recall), so to see it be updated is pretty exciting

 

Please Add AWS to the Route

 

some early photos and I'm buying the class 37/0 on release

 

Looking forward to this. Always had a soft spot for NTP, but sadly the route does show its age by now.

 

It wasn't fitted to the route at the time.

 

and that's what makes it fun to drive. keeps you on your toes.

 

Is this gonna be like you only get the new timetable if you buy the new dlc for it. Like they did with ECW.

 

Just caught up with the DTG direct yesterday and this announcement was by far the best, I've been waiting years for this to be updated, I gave up hope, so to hear this annoucement made my year!

Can't wait for this, will be keeping a very close eye on progress

 

Indeed, although I do love the clang of the AWS bell on older stock it is nice to have something without safety systems.

 

I noticed last time I drove NTP a Shap intercity liveried class 47 turned up at Huddersfield, is there anyway to stock this happening, apart from removing the relevant PAK files?

It isn't a deal breaker but is immersion breaking for the period.

 

We're a year away from Pacers in 1983. I still think it could be interesting to do a reverse "Diesel Legends" set at the turn of the 90s with Pacers and Sprinters.
Will the 108 from the Carlisle line layer in at all?

 

Be interesting what happens with the HST (for Leeds AI), hopefully a reskinned BR Blue HST is included, though as stated before with no sound changes, will be weird not having the screaming Valenta soundset
