    I'll answer what I can with this one.
    The audio is part of the track, no markers or anything attached to the train. How it works on a technical level is beyond me.

    As it's part of the track any train on GWE will make the rail singing sound. But driving a GWE train on BML, such as the 166, will not add rail singing to the BML route.

    Yes, trains on layers will have rail singing.

    Depends on the train. Not many trains have the AI horn functionality, but all the GWE stock, WSR stock, Class 484 and Flying Scotsman have it and will sound the horn when passing whistle boards.

    Keep an eye on the roadmap to see what's coming in the future :)

    Yeah, Epic gave away a secret on us there. Matt also confirmed on Facebook.

    Official confirmation now. A nice way to start the weekend! Look forward to some more information when it shows on the roadmap.

    Hopefully Skyhook can complete the timetable as well.

    So when is this remaster coming out?
    It's like the Loch Ness Monster, a bit like the Tadami, the thing that's supposed to be released for TSW3 but actually for TSW9...

    No need to blow your horn Antony. After more than a year on the Roadmap, it's a legitimate question.

    Its also a good to point out that its one person that has been doing the Remaster in his spare time as well as also creating assets and the timetable and everything else he needs to get done for it to release. Just a shame people often forget this.

    It's also a question that has been asked over and over and over again. We were told 1-2 months in the pre-Christmas reveals, so it's coming across all "are we nearly there yet?".

    Far as I can tell, no one's forgotten what Liam has accomplished and no-one is blaming him for the delay. Cool your jets, guys.;)

    It's okay, don't get all worked up, buddy. I'm just asking, not demanding anything, and I know Liam is alone.
    We were told the end of the year, then the beginning of January, so if we can't even ask a question without some hothead yelling at us...
    Anyway, you get my drift!

    And to that, I say, don't make me turn this roadmap around.

    Seriously, its coming very very very soon, and we'll update as soon as it's ready.

    If we’re all saying February then it begs the question why a gameplay video was released for the remaster back in December.

    1) Because they were off for the last 2 weeks of December and first 2 weeks of January, so better to get it out as part of their December marketing campaign
    2) Because if they don’t post an update, people start asking if it’s ever getting released based on the history of some routes that have been routinely delayed. So it’s a lose-lose situation for them if they post it early or later.

    I’m personally just happy we’re getting it and in sometime in Q1 at that.

    I firmly believe that good things come to those who wait.
    Admittedly there are a few things I've been waiting to see in TSW and have waited fairly patiently for 9 years but I suspect the GWE Remaster will be out very soon and that it will be worth the wait.

    Just wait for the release (update) date to be announced. It’s not that hard.

    The video was released to show what's coming in the update as it was content complete. Since then it's been going through bug fixing and translation, the final steps before release.

    My personal suggestion would be, just sit back and don't place expectations of a release date. Just know it's in reaching distance now! Otherwise the anticipation will kill you...

    I'm only not keeping tabs on it because I'm that excited I'll get impatient. So I'm just sitting back and letting it arrive when it arrives and not paying to much attention for now because I'd be tapping my foot impatiently like a bratty child!

    Good things come to those who wait... We are nearly there!

    I think the only thing we’ve heard of rn is the new horn so I’m not sure but I’m sure the JT one would substitute.

    We have to be patient. I'm looking forward to see how it looks. Winter is the best time to play where I live. Feet of snow and freezing temps limit outdoor activities. :)

    After a week of temperatures of -30 and up to -37 at night, today's -22 in the morning seemed like a thaw to me.

    This is Russia, Western Siberia. Although, according to forecasters, this was abnormally cold. It was 15-20 degrees below normal.

    Our friends in the US are also having a very cold spell at the moment. I promise I do have a life but I did spend much of yesterday watching US Rail Cams, it's about as much snow as I'll see this winter living here in Costa Del Essex.
