Class 158 Discussion Thread

I love how busy Haymarket depot is as well, especially with the variety of traffic populating it and including all the HSTs !

To be able to get to just the 158 services, I went through the “choose a train” pathway to get to the 158 timetable… initially was confused as couldn’t see the SCR version; you have to select the MML version then the SCR 158 is an option and then takes you through to the 158 services for EDI-GLA

Anyway this can be listed one level up in the loco selection screen LucaZone for easier navigation ?

 

Just enjoyed taking a service on Fife Circle that was a 158 hooked up to a 170, and passing 385s along the way. Much better.

 

Hiya,
I don't know what control we have over that with the Class 158. It's likely a core TSW menu thing. It could be that it is alphabetically sorted(?).

 

If you go to 'chose route', instead of 'choose train', it's far easier to navigate the services and rolling stock for that particular route.

 

hmmmm, I did try choose route and it wasn't listed in there (on PS5); will try again I guess

 

Make sure you choose the Sprinter Express timetable.

A few quibbles:

* The HSTs should include a first class coach, and some should be 5 car
* The PIS counts the HST power cars as carriages
* The PIS at the end station shows trains terminating as departures. This also means passengers don't disembark.

But yeah, the improved timetable has made a huge difference.

 

not sure if this is a bug or user error playing on pc via steam noticed once engine been tuned off headlights and saloon passenger lights cannot be turned back on

 

This train and formation is part of the Great Western Express DLC and thus outside the influence of the Class 158 DLC. If a custom HST formation were provided with the 158 it would not be possible to make use of the Inter7City liveries available on Creators Club.

 

I'd love to see the Stirling section added to Edi Glasi as an aside. Not sure the lights are displaying correctly as when I select day there's a single red light on too at the front?

 

Does the 801/802 feature in Edinburgh as AI at anypoint in the updated CL158 timetable?

 

Just bought it now after coming back from my holidays. Will note my first impression here.

 

Yeah

 

Just to add i saw the 0700 to St Pancras departing from EDI; was a nice little addition.

I ended up buying the Scr 158 and it's quite nice to drive and sounds good too (other than the missing doors opening chimes).

Hope Skyhook can add back in the CL66 and RHTT services that were left out of the new E-G timetable.

Really wish the Fife Circle services were here at launch, but it is what it is.

All my other issues with E-G are on Rivet, so won't bring up here.

 

Door sounds being wrong kinda peeves me but it's good to know they are getting fixed.

GSMR- Why is that broken?? Like you did it fine on the MML 158

TPWS- The button goes INSIDE the metal when you press it. And doesn't light up?

Release Light- I get tod4 darkens lights a bit and adds daylight but still. Release light just isn't turning on.

P.I.S- No matter where you are on a service to Edinburgh it'll say you are already at Edinburgh. Same when driving towards Glasgow. Like, This isn't Edinburgh. This is croy. Fix it please.

Apart from that and the timetable which is off, it looks good!

 

Small repaint pack with too many issues already, even carrying over the issues from the EMT 158.

 

Thanks. What about 170's? I've not been to Glasgow in years so don't know if they still run there IRL and I don't currently own Fife Circle but having 170's on this route would further encourage me to get Fife Circle in a future hefty sale

 

Yeah there's a few.

 

Anyone have an issue with Scenario 1R72 with the 158, the train brakes keeps dumping without the vigilance alarm going off.

 

Pretty good add on form what i have seen, worth the money.

 

The GSMR isn't broken, you have to turn the brightness up on it

 

Hi LucaZone

Is there any chance you could assign the DRA to the new key bind on the 158’s when you next update it? I thought the SR version might have had it done already, but the omission appears to have carried over from the MML version. Thanks.

ps I also just noticed that on 2P16 (09:31) the GSM-R isn’t registering a head-code. I presume/ hope that that’s not intentional or across all services? It’s also got the same bug with the headlight diagram display (under the headlight switch) as the MML one, in that after a period of time the marker indicator turns red. It can only be rectified by turning the lights off then on again.

It’s a good and welcome add-on, but dare I say that at £12.99 these bugs from the version we already have shouldn’t be there really.

 

I think you must've just gone into the exterior camera when the alarm went off. I've done that before. It's a pain. If not then it sounds like a pretty bad bug. I haven't encountered a problem (outside of the exterior camera one) so far in that scenario. (Playing it rn. Approaching Haymarket.) But yeah.
