    Incase this isn’t another Sony issue has a background update been put forward for Playstation users or perhaps double checked the in-log file for any errors?

    Update should have just been unblocked, so should be on its way to you - or in the near future. This should enable the ROG timetable. Thanks for your patience.

    Will we still get patch notes for SKW? I had a 3.6GB update for the route earlier this morning and that seems a bit big for DLC preparation.

    I just checked and updates came through for SEHS and WCL. The ROG 37/7 now shows in timetable mode on PS5.

    That’s just the update to accommodate the new DLC releasing today. Those updates always happen for DLC release (it adds the timetable mode etc.) but don’t appear in the update notes if there are no other improvements to the route, so nothing will have changed.

    What stujoy said - for an update like this, we'll need to update the routes they run on to facilitate it, even if it's just back-end stuff to make sure that the services run (hence the issues we saw earlier with the ROG services on SEHS, where SEHS got stuck and hadn't updated).

    Sort of hoped the class 37 would of gotton improved sound design. It's pretty old now in TSW if am mistaken.

    I guess the iconic shape and outline. Now we just got to wait until it's added to the roadmap.

    Little disappointed there isn't a small journey mode provided for the 37/7 similar to the RHTT as I'm someone who likes to go through them and complete to gold.

    Edit: Also clicking the stick on xbox goes to the old style external camera rather than defaulting to head out view with a movable camera (the default set to head out is nicer and feels better to me).

    On Steam, the three components are available, but the bundle is nowhere to be seen!

    What's the scenario or timetable that has a BR 47 pulling a 37/7-BR 375 train?
    I purchased the ROG 37/7 and i can't find any timetable or scenario for this or is this only for PC and Next Gen.

    Apparently one of the scenarios for the ROG Class 37 is called “In With The New”, which shares the same name as one of the scenarios for the Oakville Subdivision.

    Everyone panic. It’s all over. They’re running out of scenario names, the end is here.

    DTG JD Is it intended that the repaints for the ICE 1 and 3 can not be selected in the timetable? Because in the scenarios there is the right repaint on it, but unfortunately it can't choose in the timetable or is it a coincidence if you get the repaint and does the AI also drive with the repaints?

    No. Achievements or trophies aren't included with loco DLCs anymore.

    It gets stranger. So proud of this bundle are DTG they have whizzed through the content in double quick time in live stream, not even going through the scenarios for the US loco, and moved on to playing the Birmingham route. Very odd behaviour.

    I’ll be getting the UK locos which I’m looking forward to. I struggle with the US freight scene but each to their own.

    Not sure if other threads are being looked at still, but for the BNSF SD70ACe...

    1) It should have an ISO Cab, not a thundercab, as thundercabs are not allowed to lead on BNSF crewed trains due to the cab noise. To solve this either
    - Model the ISO cab, or
    - Lower the substitution rate to the lowest possible on the lead locomotives in the timetable formations so that it's almost impossible to see an SD70ACe leading on an AI train. The trailing units can have the same substitution rate as they are now, it's just the lead units that need it to be much lower.

    2) The number series on the BNSF SD70ACe should be 9330-9369.

    3) The nose headlight isn't modeled accurately.

    4) The Train Selection UI image you chose is the UP SD70ACe with the BNSF livery texture applied, it's not the BNSF spec one

    5) The player train in one of the scenarios involving the manifest train has Intermodal cars mixed in on a manifest train.

    6) There are static freight cars parked at the SB Amtrak Station in the scenarios in this pack.

    7) In the scenario Manifest Madness, the rear unit on the consist never builds full air

    I concur. As a big journey mode fan, I am quite disappointed that there are no journeys for this, especially considering that the previous bundle did include journeys. DTG JD, is there any chance this was an oversight and that we will get journeys added?

    XBSX. Loco substitution seems broken. I checked on 15 timetable services, if I choose es44c4 as a lead loco, no sd70s at all. I restarted each service two times - no sd70 in the consist. SD70 appear only as lead and only loco in timetables. Fifty/fifty loco mix would do the job.

    Really, lol. I have not watched the stream until the end, but see it now. It's funny how they just rush through the pack to then instead play something else. They literally just don't care anymore.

    My Theory

    You can only drive both Special ICE in Timetable Mode if you are lucky enough to spawn in one, just like with the Trainbow Javelin on Southeastern Highspped.

    Edit: I was Wrong it's a Bug

    Haven't watched it but that does seem very strange... what I also found a bit weird is them dropping a 'leak' into the promo shots, is it to have another talking point other than the add ons?

    I have a feeling that's the most effective way to do liveries that are only on one train. Special liveries such as the UP heritage stuff and the 50th anniversary Amtrak wrap are selectable through the menu, and it just so happens that you can see duplicates of them. Meanwhile, it doesn't seem like there are any duplicates of the Trainbow, which isn't selectable from the menu. So perhaps this luck-based livery selection is better than making them selectable through the menu?

    Edit: Ahh never mind, it wasn't intentional by DTG. Literally just saw today's stream and Matt said the Railbow and green ICE 1 were supposed to be selectable from the menu.

    While I love the Rail Operations Group Class 37/7, ironically I'm actually most thrilled with just having a proper Class 375 in white Southeastern livery! :love: This actually makes SEHS feel a lot more fresh - and I would love to see more stuff like this from DTG.

    They seemed to work fine for the portion of the route I was playing in which had some downhills but not too much and my train was able to slow down. Will have to try on a steeper gradient to know how effective it is
