    What if the colour wheels are hinting at the brand new LNER Together livery for the Class 800. Maybe it's a hint that, that'll come with the new route...?

    Given the length of those routes, I'd say that's extremely unlikely at this stage.

    But they are so slow and boring. Let's do TSW4 full of passenger routes and then maybe in TSW5 a new freight route sounds fair ;)

  4. Is Donner Pass coming?

    I have this workshop scenario with the SD70M.

    The C44-8 is in the locomotive line up as well.

    I think Donner Pass would look great, I suspect it is possibly one route they are working on to be released next month or in December. It will be great in TSW3.

    Also a single track Illinois/Midwest route like Chicago to Byron..... part freight and part passenger (Metra).

    Since Niddeltalbahn was such a success I think it would be great!
     
  5. Don't you have the Glossop route? ROFL!!!!

    Hope you have a great holiday! I'm sure you're going to need the rest for whatever the community is going to be like after the 22nd lol.

    And how do you know this? You're sounding like you know exactly what's coming which is a breach of nda or you're just spreading rumors. Speculation is fine but saying x is coming is not.

    Enjoy your holiday! I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the dtg staff begged you to take a holiday so you didn't leak anything! XD
    Enjoy yourself! :)

    Would be awesome if that was the case, I've started to enjoy creating my own routes on TSC as opposed to driving trains - nice to be creative while using any trains you want! Quite relaxing as well...

    I never said you were at dtg offices. You don't have to be a dtg employee to be under nda. But if you were under nda, you would have long been gone from whatever position you're in

    The diesels can be quite easy sometimes and they can be quite hard other times- a 37 is very easy to drive but I would struggle with a Deltic or a peak

    Deltics aren't in game yet and Peaks are a breeze and I would say easier than a 37, though like I said I found mastering the electrostars harder than the BR Diesels!

    What I struggle to drive the most are the BR electric locos, especially the 87s they are so hard to drive

    In TSC I'd presume. Yes they are a bit like the 101s are the tap changers: get a lot of getting used to, but when you get it you have it for life.

    Took me a while on the 101’s but glad I persevered. Well worth it in the end. :)

    If you don’t want to see leaks, then simply don’t visit threads that discuss leaks. Also, most leaks are entirely the fault of DTG. Like the info on EpicDB.

    Really? Toxicity is not the key to life.

  29. Does the Blackpool route or Wherry lines contain stattions off the beaten path?

    There is a pattern now with the hints.

    As the DTG usual guy has dropped off the radar(until 22nd Aug) DTG might be using social media to drop us hints.

    If not (above routes) then possibly Scotland Highland route, Western Lines of Scotland or the Black Forrest route in Germany?

    So far, they have given us stations with beautiful architecture, scenery in rural or away from city areas, and this. Plus the TSC screenshot with the German loco and I believe it to be hinting a route editor (NDA huh?) as it mentions creation in the post.

    So unless some of you have some knowledge of routes with these "out of the city qualities", it is a mystery.

    If so, please share!!!

    What if Dovetail Direct was a broadcast from Dovetail, direct from the location such as Kings Cross or National Railway Museum where Flying Scotsman is for the announcement.

    Does it? I think they have plenty of character. They're all different, with their own quirks.

    They have already expressed that it is just a new term that is being used in the industry. The new Bethesda game Starfield is also doing a "Starfield Direct."

    Would be surprised on the latter, considering it's gone into project 2025 mode and alot of the halls are closed for renovation/ repairs/ overhaul
