    They done a pretty decent job on this when you have play into it. Drayton Green visible on the map & Visible from the back of Plazer Works ( West Eailing Sidings ) could thw Greenford Branch be on the cards at a later date with the BR-Class 150 ?

    This remaster is fantastic stuff. I’ve played nothing else since it updated and it’s just a joy. The few issues I’ve seen after many runs have all been said above or in the feedback thread (and acknowledged) so nothing to add to that. Well done to Liam and everyone else involved, it’s a tremendous result.

    This was my bad, brain was on autopilot when I put my message in and I put the wrong name in which has confused some people. As I said, these guys have experience with TSW and UE4.

    No. But it adds extra gameplay. Island line 2022 and WCML are especially recommended

    Definitely keep an eye out for sales. I only had a few more left and some happened to be on sale. I didn’t want to wait for the others so I picked up the 4 or 5 that I was missing otherwise I would’ve waited for some sales. Still runs without them but looks best with the full service timetables.

    There are a few DLCs that add a lot more value than others. Island line 2022 and WCML South are most important. Quite a lot of add ons only provide hardly seen short services or AI scenery only.

    This is true. More important to find the ones that are actually used in the route than the “nice to haves” that impact the AI traffic only.

    If you want to drive a 101 on GWE you need to buy the Diesel Legends of the Great Western add on

    Even though i have the class 484 (island line 2022) and the 350 (WCML) they are not showing up on my drivable option screen. Anyone else having this issue. everything thing else is working fine and really enjoying the remaster.

    Are you on PS5? I had this too when al layers were installed. Deleting mildmay (and I believe the class 37) solved this for me

    PS5. So it happened to me, but I have a feeling it won't be just Mildmay and Class 37, for a while it felt like roulette to me ........ and also with Class 47 (Nigt services) I only had 3 playable services and maybe after installing DLC 86-2 all 6 services are showing up for me ... it's an interesting mystery

    this part could actually be like it's supposed to be. It uses different coaches on some services.

    Something's seriously amiss with the game when players have to play musical chairs or even delete whole route and loco layers just to be able to play it as intended.

    As usual with DTG, no useful documentation is available - plenty of hype, but no detailed information. One of the layers is described as 'SWT Services - Midland Main Line'. I own Midland Main Line and the layer is enabled, but since the rolling stock is not stated, I assume it would be either class 43 or class 158. Class 158 does not appear in the timetable and class 43 is represented only by GWR versions. Can anyone tell me what I should see and where/when (AI maybe?)
    A more general question I have relates to seasonal rolling stock appearances. What action do I take to have them appear?

    If the route still looks the same it sounds like you haven't received / downloaded the update yet. The remaster isn't just extra layers and traffic, the entire route has been visually upgraded and looks nothing like the original route.

    Yes, but the vast majority of services are from the HST and 166/5, which came with the original route. The freight stuff is all 66 worked too, which I think may have come with the original.. or will have come with another add-on you have.

    The next most important layer for gameplay might be the upcoming 387 pack!

    Yeah there’s 20+ layers for this, but I’d say less than 5 make up 90% of the traffic. The 387 that’s coming will probably be a decent addition for traffic too, it’ll be a regular in & out of Paddington which will have a knock on effect for every other service due to platform use.

    Yeah I think the Island Line 2022 484 might be the most intensive actually!

    Yeah I’d personally focus on that & the cargo line packs. I’m not sure which 66 gets used though but if someone can nail that down I’d recommend it.

    Eveything else is nice to have & adds the nice odd spot but every other train is going to be freight, underground or the included GWR stock.

    Yes, I'd find which actual trains or stock they refer to much more useful, as opposed to the usual guessing game.

    Been going back to some of the old scenarios that I either never did on my ongoing profile or had never got round to (ie some of the Cargo Line based ones) and feels quite surreal doing those older ones with it looking so exquisite now.

    Take this with a pinch of salt, but I saw this on a TSW Facebook group... Someone appears to be making a mod to the 350 to remove the gangway and make it a authentic looking 360.

    Dunno if anyone has already mentioned but a group by the name of 75KV Studios are working on making a freeware 360. I've attached the livestream where it was revealed. It's still a WIP, and they plan to include ATP for the /2 which is mega. I'm very excited personally.

    The shadow of the gangway really puts into perspective how restricted the view on the 350 is.
