And of course the update has screwed up the scenario planner. On PS4 at least it is impossible to create a scenario currently as you cannot select...
Wooo class 20 is here!
We can hold a seance
I got a bit of time off this month and would love to spend a day making liveries
Good to hear
I play last gen and there are plenty of amazing looking routes. I don’t really see that as an excuse tbh. I’m sure it looks better from the cab view.
There’s still the issue on the Meißen branch on the Dresden route where you have to stop beyond the stop marker for the stop to count. It seems...
Oh dear, I’ve haven’t got this route or seen anyone playing it but those photos look like ‘work-in-progress’ development shots
Remember to contact the signaller as well. It’s not only realistic but some shunting moves in scenarios require it before the aspect will change....
Haha
Almost certainly the Acela, I think it will look really good. The modern trains are nice but I really wish we got more older, classic traction....
It is the standard procedure for driving uk trains at a station stop. Stop, apply full brake, reverser to neutral, turn on dra if necessary then...
Cool- thank you
Ah yes forgot about the seats on the 45 and 47. It saved me when I clipped out of the cab once.
On most UK trains in real life, the dsd/dvd will be active if the reverser is not in neutral regardless of whether the train is moving or not....
Hi guys, Does anyone know roughly when the HST or Class 20 will be available on livery designer? I don’t think they’ve given a date but I get...
Great to hear!
It is satisfying when you get it right. You really need to use the force selector and AFB modes regularly. Unfortunately when you have to look...
Beautiful stations
When it first came out I thought it was boring too. It’s only saving grace was the ICE 1 which is a joy to drive and so characterful. Later on I...
To be fair there is quite a bit on the ps store. I see Dresden-Chemnitz is £13 so I might go for that. I don’t have loads of DLC so there might...
Surely something going down the grades of sand patch or Cajon pass will easily get upto 100? Or does it have to be within the speed limit?
Yeh I get the same- or ‘nicht einsteigen’ (do not board)
It works fine, it’s just you can’t use the TVM as it’s not installed. When making the scenario you’ll just have to make sure there’s nothing...
Good to know- I’ll put it on all the time then
It’s changed slightly from TSW 2. It used to give you all the locomotives from that country on normal mode. Now it just mostly gives you those...
Completely agree. Unless you have groups of players who all want to play seriously it’s not going to be a great experience. I don’t know why it’s...
I think the testing bit is key. You testers are all keen players who want to explore its potential and play it as intended. When it releases...
Yes that’s the biggest problem I could see with multiplayer. If you are going to do multiplayer you need to be able to set up groups where you can...
I hope it impresses her much
Yes that’s true. If that’s not possible, water tanks for boilers and toilets will be drained so they do not freeze and will get refilled in the...
Real drivers do not drive on the limit, always a few mph/kph below. You’ll also notice a lot of the speed limiters automatically keep the train a...
Depends where you are leaving the train. In the Uk if it’s being stabled in a station then the guard or station staff will lock it up and make...
Don’t confuse it for being anything associated with the Southern Railway of the early 20th Century. Same with LNER, GWR and all the other TOC’s...
I thought they were supposed to be streamlining routes so performance increases. I don’t mind it on a Christmas route but I wouldn’t want gimmicks...
That’s mostly why they are getting rid of the HST Castle sets next year. Partly a parts shortage but mostly because having two power cars pushing...
Id be surprised if we see it in the next 50 years tbh. All uk governments seem to hate railways.
I guess they could use the 09 from WSR as it’s already green. Maybe it wouldn’t have been seen down there very often but nor would there have been...
I’m only going by my experience but the shorter sections mean we can coast over them when the power is out because of damage or routine...
That would be a shame if that’s the case. Although it makes sense from a business perspective as it will be cheap to produce.
They’ve got a few 2mt’s. It would go great on the SOS local services instead of the jubilee. EDIT: D.heal has just confirmed- thanks d
Noice, I wonder if it’s something like an Ivatt Tank. Then it could be used on the Isle of Wight and spirit of steam.
Hopefully it’s a steam engine- but it could also be a diesel or DMU from that period I guess.
True- thanks to the higher voltage True The third rail is a lot less delicate and requires less maintenance. The pantographs required for OHLE...
Any actual reasons?
What makes it impractical over wires? No ugly masts, nothing can fall down, no delicate pantographs, no need to demolish and build new bridges and...
No reason why you couldn’t install third rail past Exeter. Line speeds are pretty low most of the way to Penzance and it would preserve the...
The modernisation plan was too late, introducing prototype diesels in the 50’s and 60’s when many countries had successful locomotives in use for...
We once led the way with railway electrification, as we did with many things. Now it feels like we are living in the ruins of a former civilisation.
The electrification was the usual 21st century uk government disaster. Horrendously overbudget with terrible mismanagement. Coupled with private...
