For me the biggest bugbear with the old routes isn’t the timetables, the lame scenery or the bizarre bugs - it’s just the oppressively dark...
I’d pay for a V2 expansion if it meant we finally got Toton… still annoys me that the original model was almost complete and then locked out :(
It’s a bit sad that we’re talking about an upcoming release through gritted teeth and with a sense of dread/resignation rather than excitement....
I’ve been playing since TSW2 and bought a shedload of DLC, but it’s definitely slowing down now. WCL got the gears grinding, MML was another, and...
So, 6 months in and still no fix despite early promises… Sadly it feels like this is the norm now. I’m beginning to wonder if there’s much life...
Just watched the stream - I think it's looking like a fun route, but £30 is a bit steep for what we're getting. For me the replay value doesn't...
The Windermere DMUs were supplied by Kingmoor IIRC. A unit would run down to Preston via Barrow, work up to Oxenholme, do a stint on the...
IMHO the Windermere branch is dull as dishwater... I'd love to see the Cumbrian Coast Line done though, at least as far as Whitehaven - give the...
A Preston-Crewe followup to WCMLoS (80s) would be brilliant. Failing that, hydraulic-era WR around Bristol/Bath/Cardiff - something for the...
Having had a night for the dust to settle and the cogs to grind a bit more I've woken up with a wry smile on my face about the whole thing. Best...
Nope. Wouldn’t bother even if it was free TBH. Nothing inherently wrong with it, just not something I’m remotely interested in.
Genuine answer: you've every right to be excited - you're hoping to draw in an entirely new customer base, after all. But surely you can...
Have to say I feel like a bit of a mug today, after all the (well deserved) hype around Preston-Carlisle I genuinely thought this too would be...
Well, don't I feel like a fekkin mug today :(
LOL well I guess the steam part was right... blimey though, talk about a cash grab :D:D:D I guess it makes commercial sense, but if it is...
uhuh… :D So somebody’s guessed it and he’s agreeing, or it’s “an expression of mild surprise or disappointment”… :D:D:D My money’s on a return...
Koln-Aachen update looks epic!
There’s also a picture of an 85 in the Carnforth station cafe…
Some pretty dodgy scenery up by the Maryport side of Currock … hedges not on the ground, looks like some weird hedge loops in the sky off in the...
Yeah the Kingmoor - Currock and back scenario is awesome :cool:
It's the "/" key.
But, if say they decided to do the Cumbrian Coast line out to Whitehaven (the closer terminus for some of Carlisle Platform 2 workings) they could...
Has anyone noticed the picture of the 85 in the cafe on Carnforth station. Now that's just a total tease! :D Totally love his route!
I'm having a blast with this ... haven't managed to leave Carlisle yet, as I'm busy exploring the old haunts and going "wow" ... I feel like I've...
This happened to me in the 170 on the Fife Circle Leven update the other day. Hasn't happened since, but suggests there's something broken/changed...
If they did that it’d be a big win. Lots of freight options too. Then they could extend the other way to Westbury for even more freight action …
I noticed this too… it was snowing at the time, so thought little of it, but TBH I haven’t played the route enough to know if it’s a general...
Now that’s an excellent idea!
Scenery appears to have improved*, especially in the snow. Had some weird behaviour where the driver's side windscreen wiper stopped working -...
They already did Exeter-Reading for TSC I think... it'd be great to see them rework that for TSW, although I too would love to see it with...
Adding in Forton Services is a nice touch! That place (or rather the Pong machine that was up top, when you used to be able to get up there) is...
:D:D:D OMG, so many memories came flooding back this week… that “Passengers Must Not Pass” sign at the end of the run was my binocular stand for...
Just catching up on the livestream now... wow, this is SOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!!! :D:D:D I can see me reliving my youth sitting on a BRUTE at the north...
Can't say I've been through an 87, but I remember a driver at Preston showing me round an 86 one time, and the pan cylinder control was down the...
"Set up" to do what, exactly? No point having CI if you don't have any meaningful test scripts. Is it even possible to write a test script to...
Been thinking about Carlisle - Newcastle... I'd love to see what they could do with Newcastle, Gateshead depot, Tyne Yard etc... trouble is that...
Preston-Crewe would get my vote! Or Cumbrian Coast to Workington... or something including Bristol-Bath-Westbury in the hydraulic era :D TBH I...
Wow, so good to see Currock wagon works again!!! I'm finding some of the nameplate placements on the 87s a little odd - when did they start...
Ha ha, I’d love to see that… TBH I’d love them to do the whole of the Cumbrian Coast Line, as Workington was my stomping ground until 83. Lots of...
I have this vague hope that JT will revisit the Bristol area after they're done with Preston-Carlisle :D They have their TSC route for...
Given that nobody much seems to be that happy with the 150, how about rebooting it as NR's Track Recorder, 950 001? It could pop up all over the...
I left the area in 1983, so can't really comment on the 1986-7 timeframe I'm afraid. Certainly in the late 70s-early 80s you'd see Mk1s on the...
I certainly have :D:D:D
There are two questions on one line. There’s no way to know what question you’re answering. If I tick “AVL” am I saying it’s “better” or...
Yeah, I think it was mostly air conditioned Mk2s and Mk3s. The older Mk2s were seen on the WCML in the early 80s, but not that often IIRC - more...
Anyone remember Toton on MML? Talk about dangling a carrot! I tried going back there recently but now it’s completely inaccessible. That’s doubly...
Whoa, now THAT would have been something to see! Talk about way off the beaten path! :D My “home” station was Workington - one afternoon I...
Have to say it did put me off preordering this time round. I’m firmly in the “quality not quantity” camp, and I just can’t bring myself to support...
For sure … I remember several weekends where ECML diversions sent both Deltics and HSTs our way! Strangest Deltic sighting at Carlisle for me...
There’s at least one of each of the AC classes preserved. The only one that didn’t make it was the experimental Class 80 conversion. I think you...
