Instant Gaming Tsc Purchase Problem & List Of Add Ons I Should Get

What is "Suitable Stock" for MML?
HSTs, 66s, 70, 158s, 170s, XC 220/221, MML 222 and lots of freight

 

exactly those are which I dont have (eps for). Only one I have atm is the JT 220/221.

 

To drive a train you don't need the EPS version - its ok to have but not the end of the world if you don't

 

but yea, once again i really dont have much diesel locos at the moment. And atm I have more focused on other routes atm over MML.
But yea as asked before. Between the Northampton Loop and Kings cross to Kings llyn route. Which would be better? I have suitable rolling stocks for both routes.

 

I cannot help there -
I don't have either but I would think WCML would give you more variation with freight and passenger workings
kilt46 might have both

 

Have you checked the Leeds Line from ATS?

 

i subscription so i already have access to that. (cant use the route because I dont have all the requirements yet).
Or is it just not a good time to get either routes? and just focus on the 2 trains plus other things?

 

uh, guess update.
i got the 185, MK5 and Kings Llyn from ATS. Hope to get Northampton Loop and Cambridge to Peterbrough whenever ATS has a sale agian.
Also just found out that I can get the complete western mainline collection under my budget for when buying anything TSC/TSW related.

 

so during this winter sale i hope to be able to complete the entirety of the ECML (as in ECML merge on ATS)
but i am also debating should i also get the class 180 as well. Or can that wait or is a less-ish important train to get over the others?

 

Well, for 5 pounds in the sale should be fine. It´s an important ai train for the ECML. I´ve never really seen it used as a player train anywhere... I remember that it was a really bad release from DTG with loads of massive bugs. It´s never gotten an AP enhancement or sound pack.

The routes via Pontefract Monkhill to Bradford and from Doncaster to Hull don´t exist in TSC. Maybe thats another reason it´s not used much? Although I remember both of these routes beeing built at some point. Pontefract Monkhill to Wakefield was beeing done by OTS and some other developer announced the route to Hull a long time ago.

 

Not all Grand Central services go to Bradford most are Kings Cross - Sunderland so would use 3 different routes.

The 180 is not that good but for £5 it is worth having as AI.
The Engines sounds are similar to the Class 175 - maybe somebody has does a patch?

 

idk is this a patch, but i do know that there is some sort of ep done by major wales on the 180.

alright then ima pick up the 180 as well. thanks.

 

The Class 180 is not a patch - it is a standalone product in Grand Central livery

the Major Wales Pack adds other liveries - https://www.major.wales/revamp-packs/180

 

huh i thought they had updated some other things as well on the 180 model?

 

okay so when buying steam stuff just now i have only learn apparently that
North London and Goblin Line actually also includes the North London Line (the solo version)
Peterbrough to York contains a class 66 and class 91 and mk4 steam add ons. meaning you didnt even need to buy the solo class 91 pack to begin with lmao (which i did in my very first purchase).
TSC addons in modern day is so weird lmao. Sometimes it doesnt tell you that certain train is already in said add on you already might have bought before.

 

You need to read what it says in the Description for each route
