Drive this ES44C4 backwards from Burbank Airport-North to LA Union before driving the F125 into the Metrolink CMF so the depot staff can see what the fault is. Anyway, WIP shots await... Here is our service at Burbank Airport-North ready to depart for LA Union for a reversal so we can gain access to Metrolink's CMF, which we will pass later. Note how the loco is facing backwards... Here we are passing a delayed Antelope Valley Line service to Lancaster, held because of our failed Metrolink set being stuck on a single track section... And now we pass our train which our loco came off of, leaving the ES44C4 on the left to face the wrong way until our loco gets back from the Metrolink CMF. Buffer: "Please don't eat me... please!"

Here we overtake a slower RE9 service at Horrem, this screenshot shows the sense of speed that this Vectron is going along the Schnellfahrstrecke . With this funky angle, we pass a RE1 service heading to Hamm which is departing Langerwehe as we pass through the station, the lime green of FLIXTRAIN contrasts really well with the red of Deutsche Bahn don't you think?

Good evening all, the WCL announcement will be coming shortly but I have to announce something more special first... 2 years ago, I released 66523 Weathered, a depiction of Freightliner's 66523 locomotive in a weathered state, and the first in its kind to appear on my Creators Club portfolio. It has been slowly trickling in subscribers, even beating the clean version I made the weathered one for. Now... 2 years later, it has come to the point where I can announce for the first time ever: 66523 HAS REACHED 1000 SUBSCRIBERS!!! It has been my dream since starting as a content creator within TSW to achieve this goal and thank you to those who follow my projects and download them in game for your viewing pleasure. This thread alone sums it all up, every once and a while, you get fellow creators and followers of mine jump in and play and share their thoughts and feedback on my work, it just needs to happen more often in my opinion. So thank you for making my dream come true . What livery shall be next to get to this feat? GBRf 66789? MRCE Vectron? FLIXTRAIN Vectron? Get subscribing folks to find out . Three cheers for this gem of a livery... hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray, hip hip... hooray! West Cornwall Local shenanigans are below folks . Thank you all, TrainGeek08, a happy content creator in the world of TSW.
Hello all, I'm here to announce my next livery from the Creator's Club Roadmap, EWS on the Class 37 from West Cornwall Local . Livery Name: EWS Route: West Cornwall Local Train: Class 37/5 RSR Route covered: N/A Duration (to make the livery): 50 minutes Difficulty: N/A Scenario Storyline: N/A WIP shots await... Here is the livery, the EWS livery found on several Class 37s back in the day . Full weathering is evident on this livery today, EWS clearly haven't been looking after this one... Rear side shot as always... a simple livery made better with weathering (in my honest opinion). And here is a couple of shots of our 37 at Long Rock T&RSMD in Penzance ready to run around this freight working bound for St Austell: Livery Link: Creators Club - (TG08) EWS (37) I hope you are looking forward to this livery releasing, I'm TrainGeek08 as always, enjoy the rest of your day, and I'll see you for the next announcement, until then, it's goodbye .
Well done mate, it is amazing to think how many people have downloaded and enjoyed that, I certainly have!
FINAL TSW4 RELEASE!!! Formation Designer Extras - Scenario 6: Hello all, I'm here to (at long last) announce my sixth (and final made for TSW4) scenario in the 'Formation Designer Extras' series, 1Z44 LIN-TWB on the Fife Circle Line . THE FORMATION(S): Formation Name: 8F + Mk1s + 37 (FCL) Route: Spirit of Steam/West Cornwall Local Train: LMS 8F Formation Link: Creators Club - (TG08-FDE) 8F + Mk1s + 37 (FCL) Required Livery Link: Creators Club - West Coast Railways 37668 THE SCENARIO: Scenario Name: 1Z44 LIN-TWB (8F) Route: Fife Circle Line Train: LMS 8F Route covered: Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh Waverley (via Burntisland and Inverkeithing) Duration: 40-45mins Difficulty: 2 Scenario Storyline: Take over this S.R.P.S Railtours' tour at Kirkcaldy and drive it along the Fife coast towards Edinburgh, where another driver will take this train down the Borders Railway to Tweedbank. Anyway, WIP shots await... Here is our service at Kirkcaldy picking up passengers for S.R.P.S. Railtours' 'Forth Bridge and Borders Steam Special' railtour heading down to Tweedbank this morning . This is for all of you football fanatics (who download my content). We picture our tour passing Stark's Park, home to Raith Rovers F.C. For the 2024-25 season, they are playing in the Scottish Championship (second-tier behind the Premiership in Scottish football). We stop at one intermediate station on the Fife Circle, that being Dalgety Bay (rather oddly, judging Inverkeithing is only just down the road and is a principal station for LNER/CrossCountry for example) . Here is my favourite shot of them all, it's of our tour going over the Jamestown Viaduct (just across the road from Ferrytoll P&R) , as it struggles to gain enough momentum to get through North Queensferry tunnel (and station), before going onto the Forth Bridge. Scenario Link: Creators Club - (TG08-FDE) 1Z44 LIN-TWB (8F) I hope you have enjoyed all of the content I have released during the TSW4 game cycle . Are you looking forward to more content from TSW5? More on that coming soon... I've been TrainGeek08 as always, enjoy the rest of your day and until next time, goodbye everyone .
UPDATE: The scenario is now live, apologies for those who have downloaded the formation and wondered where the scenario is . Enjoy the red signals though folks . Even though they are linked the announcement post, I'll put them here too...

Hello all, I want to bring back something I did earlier in the year when I reviewed my three best and three worst mods of the year now that more of the year has passed since then. But with a twist... I'm extending it to a top five best and top five worst this time . As before... I will say that these ratings are purely based on subscriber count on Creator's Club (as of today) and not the best/worst releases based off of the talent showcased in each mod. Best 5 releases in 2024 so far: 1st - GBRf '66789' (66) Released: Sunday 4th February 2024 Subscribers: 551 Where do I start on this beauty? The colour palette on this locomotive is absolutely bang on in my opinion, and even though I took just under an hour to complete this, I can understand how it has done so well, all it needs is someone to use this in a scenario so it can get more attention . Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08) GBRF '66789' (66) 2nd - FLIXTRAIN (BR 193) Released: Tuesday 2nd July 2024 Subscribers: 495 Well... DTG have nicked my idea then . At least the developers are snooping over my Creators Club Roadmap, so thanks guys . Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08) FLIXTRAIN (BR 193) 3rd - MRCE (BR 193) Released: Tuesday 13th February 2024 Subscribers: 456 I think this reskin is worthy of third place because this is the reskin I have spent longest on in 2024 so far. Yes, I spent 2 and a half hours to complete this livery, and this one has done really well, it shows that doing the technical information on locomotives makes reskins more detailed and more popular. Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08) MRCE (BR 193) 4th - RJ256 Berlin (BR 1116) Released: Friday 21st June 2024 Subscribers: 248 The only scenario on this (top five) list. It must be said, I enjoyed making this one and I hope my next Semmeringbahn scenario (whenever that may be) does as good or better than this one. Hopefully I get at least another scenario into the top 5 by the end of the year eh? Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08) RJ256 Berlin (1116) 5th - Traffic Red (BR 103) Released: Monday 4th March 2024 Subscribers: 215 I mean, four out of five liveries are the best so far, that tells me I need to do more RJ256 Berlin-style scenarios then... anyway, back to this livery. I like this livery, however I'll admit, the DB logo is not spot on, but it does the job for this one and I am delighted to see how popular this has got even if there are some better iterations of the same livery on Creator's Club already. Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08) Traffic Red (BR 103) Now onto the other end of the scale. For this one I will exclude recently released mods as it is not fair on those because they have came out fairly recently so people may still be giving it a go . Worst 5 releases in 2024 so far: 5th - Wintertalbahn (BR 628) Released: Friday 19th July 2024 Subscribers: 26 The reason why I think this release is here is because of my fanbase not liking my scenarios on Niddertalbahn generally. Out of the three releases on Niddertalbahn, only one has been met positively, the other two meanwhile, are sitting on around 30 subscribers. A bit poor from me to be honest to only be picking up on that now. If I do a new scenario on NID, I will see what would interest you i.e. DB BR 218 loco-hauled along NID? Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08) Wintertalbahn (BR 628) 4th - Ivening Drive (150) Released: Thursday 8th February 2024 Subscribers: 23 The reason why I think this release has not done so well is the time-of-day/weather combination. This clearly does not work on a TOD3 route, I guarantee that these type of conditions would benefit on a TOD4 route instead, which West Cornwall isn't. I have since learnt from this mistake to not do weather/time-of-day combinations which do not work. Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08) Ivening Drive (150) 3rd - 2B95 GLM-CST (465) Released: Thursday 25th July 2024 Subscribers: 19 The reason why I think this release has not done so well is the lack of AI services within the scenario making it lifeless at times during gameplay. I know for next time to try and make scenarios on Southeastern High Speed a bit busier in the hope that its popularity will increase. Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08) 2B95 GLM-CST (465) 2nd - Fastline Freight (66) Released: Thursday 8th August 2024 Subscribers: 16 I have multiple theories why this one has turned up here. This livery (as I said in my own post about this livery) feels rushed to the point that me as the creator does not like how it turned out. That rarely happens where I have to admit that my livery is not good enough before it releases to you guys. Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08) Fastline Freight (66) 1st - Longwagen (BR 110) Released: Monday 19th August 2024 Subscribers: 10 I am quite shocked to see Longwagen as my worst scenario in 2024 so far just being nearly a month since release. I have a strong feeling this is down to the length of the scenario; this scenario is around an hour long, which is longer than my normal uploads. Another is due to a lack of signal checks along the route despite the fact you are following a RB service to Koblenz, which could've contributed to this as well. Creator's Club: Creators Club - (TG08-FDE) Longwagen (BR110) Overall Round-Up and Conclusion: So, four scenarios in the bottom 5 and four liveries in the top 5, very strange but also really interesting at the same time. I do need to improve on certain scenarios or even just keeping things in mind which could affect gameplay and subscriber counts after release during production and testing (trends data...). I do need to start looking at those again as just now they seem like a waste of time unless I use them. I hope you enjoyed this one, let me know if I should do one at the end of the year to see if anything changes . This is something different to do in the gap between TSW4 & TSW5 releases but anyway, I've been TG08 as always, enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see you next time for the first TSW5 CC announcement, which is coming soon... Until then, it's goodbye from me .
FIRST TSW5 RELEASE!!! Hello all, I'm here to announce my next scenario, FLIXDivert on Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr .

Your traction is a FLIXTRAIN Vectron with a failed DB BR 101 in tow. Anyway, WIP shots await... Here is our service departing Bochum Hbf bound for Duisburg Hbf and onwards towards Koln. We are being diverted along the S-Bahn lines, crossing with DB BR 422 units running S1 services between Solingen and Dortmund like the one seen here at Wattenscheid-Hontrop. As we leave Essen Hbf, we pass a cancelled service originally bound for Berlin before the failed train meant this DB BR 403 had to terminate short here. With this funky angle, we pass a RE1 service heading to Hamm which is passing Essen-Frohnhausen as we pass through too, notice the S1 service sneaking into this shot?

Now for some bad news... Since Microsoft and DTG are working on a fix to publish their remaining DLCs to the Microsoft Store (MML is one of those) so Immingham Revisited is being swapped with MRCool, which is on Rhein-Ruhr Osten and I do have all the available DLC to run that one. So expect an announcement for that tomorrow. Apologies for the short notice delay, but it is outwith my control I'm afraid so sorry about that. I've been TG08 as usual, thank you for the support on the last Creators Club Roadmap, it was gratefully appreciated . Until tomorrow, it's goodbye from me.

Anyway, WIP shots await... Here is our service at Wuppertal-Langerfeld Gbf awaiting departure towards Hagen, the Railpool Vectron which brought this train in has a PZB fault so the MRCE Vectron has been shunted onto the front to take it forward instead. Now at our second pathing stop at Schwelm, we meet a S9 service (left) bound for Hagen and a RE4 service to Hamm (middle), of which we have to wait for (the RE4 and an ICE service behind that), you can trainspot if you like during this downtime? Onwards to Hagen! Here, as we take the freight 'bypass' around Hagen Hbf, we re-overtake the ICE that passes us at Schwelm, as it awaits its platform to be clear before entering the station which is taking longer than normal...

Part 2 where you take it back to Peterborough? Actually, can the scenario planner have you change ends now (I think it was called chaining paths)?
That was the plan originally however I decided to change it due to the overall duration being too long but if there is enough demand for a Part 2, then I'll consider making one to release alongside the release next week .
This will take me back a few years mate! Looking forward to this one very much! Just to check, which HST is it using, an MTU or VP185?
Thanks, I only skim read it, though the time I saved doing that I have wasted asking and answer things! Oh well, I'll remember to read it properly next time!
I'm sure it will mate! To answer your question it is the MTU variant as tomtrainboi#1289 has stated above . If only the 91 was in the game... as the EC AI in the scenario would have been more varied .

Hello all, I want to cast your minds back to January when I gave you some teasers for Blackpool Branches: Scenario Pack 1 - 2004. Now that it is in the run-up to release, I will tell you the answers and will highlight the hidden clues in each poem and reveal the locations in the photos. Guesses: S1: N/A S2: Correct - Coastal Charter (guessed by trainsimplayer) S3: N/A S4: Correct - TransPennine Sprint (guessed by matt#4801) S5: Correct - Ormskirk Shuttle (guessed by trainsimplayer) I will reveal the other two at the bottom of each clue set... Scenario 1: Location: Blackpool North Carriage Sidings 'At quarter past 5 on an early summer's morning, Blackpool North station is awakening, To the sound of Sprinters and Pacers, A Pacer is due to bounce its way out of Blackpool soon.' (The scenario name is the time of day the scenario is set and what the Pacers will do once it leaves Blackpool combined...) Spoiler: Scenario 1 Name The scenario name is Early Bouncer. Scenario 2: Location: Watery Lane, Preston 'On a May morning, A Class 66 leaves Preston for the coast, This railtour has originated in Edinburgh, It is not a railtour though, It is a form of alliteration.' (The scenario name is where the Class 66 is heading and another name for a railtour...) Scenario 3: Location: St-Annes-on-the-Sea station 'Blackpool has two stations, North or South, where are we leaving from? Through Lytham and Kirkham we go to Preston, Where another driver will take it forward to Colne.' (The scenario name is the way it came from the Blackpool terminus the service originates from...) - could be tricky Spoiler: Scenario 3 Name The scenario name is The South Way. Scenario 4: Location: Salwick Signal Box 'A new operator is in town, And takes over a fleet of Express Sprinters, Drive two of them to Blackpool this evening, During a glorious sunset.' (The scenario name is part of the name of this 'new operator' and what a 158 will do if you remove 'er' from the nickname...) Scenario 5: Location: Midge Hall Token Exchange 'A Sprinter and Pacer meet at Preston station at 5pm, They head down a branch line, And stop at Croston, Rufford and Burscough Junction as well as Ormskirk, Then it reverses and heads back to Preston.' (The scenario name is the terminus of the branch line and the term used to describe a train going back and forth along the same section of branch line all day...) Hope this puts you all out of your misery, watch this space tomorrow for the official announcement of Blackpool Branches: Scenario Pack 1 - 2004 . See you then folks!
Number 3 were easy, oh well I am still glad I managed to get one of them right. I look forward to these, though I still have part two of the, so far excellent, ECML scenarios to do.
