I notice AP has a fuller range of MUs than locos: is that just because there are more about these days, and it’s harder to get access to older locos?
Looks great, but I think I’m going to have to wait for a sale, after my holiday splurge! when does AP have sales? Easter? Autumn? Winter?
Thanks, Matthew. Is it the case then, that a cold start 37 can only be used in a particular scenario you edited it in, and not accessible in Quick...
Was wondering if there were any Peaks available... thanks for the heads up about the 45. In the Steam list, there only seems to be lists of...
Thanks. I’m a bit confused as to how to access the scenario editor: I was thinking I can edit one of the default AP37s and create a cold start...
How many coaches did you have? Ten as well?
That’s interesting, thanks for posting. I’m amazed also at the speed difference between copying files between my two internal SSDs, and any...
Thanks, will try that, seems much easier.
I had a look in the routes folder, and see all the routes, and image icons, but they are only identified by a long alphanumeric string, so I’ll...
Thanks. I’ve got about 20 HSTs in folders. There’s texture folders in the Default and each of the variants. So the mod will replace the textures...
The AP Class 40 pack contains cold start versions of the loco, but the AP 37 doesn’t seem to have this feature. How can you cold start a 37? Is...
Am I correct in assuming that if you have the HST in this route:...
Are they in a folder in that’s easily findable?
Thanks, will try tomorrow...
Does it cause problems if you subscribe from within TS? I subscribed to a Class 08 shunting one, and it seemed to disappear from the list.
But for some reason ‘Drive’ is still greyed out.
dunkrez, does it need any particular 43? I think the one I have is one included in a route. Is that ok, or do I need to buy a standalone version?...
As mentioned, part of the issue restarting in the tunnel was the generator protection cutout at over 2k A, which is a feature of the unrefurbished...
Thanks for the info, Peter. It doesn’t seem to be made easy identifying which folder goes with which route then? How can you know?
I’m with you on the dwindling storage front! Not sure if you’ve ever suffered a hard drive failure, but please ensure your drive has a back up if...
[ATTACH] Has anyone else had issues with a route icon not showing in their menu panel? I have two or three like this. The Faversham one bought...
Yes, the 37 was virtually at the tunnel mouth! I was just experimenting really, still at the stage of just getting the hang of driving. I tried...
Cheers Peter. I learn something new every day!
Thanks. The vents were open, but I failed to keep an eye on the temp gauge. Learned the hard way, and won’t do that again! My first attempt I...
I noticed on a Green AP Class 37 that on one side it has a TOPS number, and on the other a pre-TOPS number. I’d never heard of this: is it an...
Thanks for this. Appreciate you taking the time to make the video. I’ll follow your guidance and will see how I get on. Think part of my problem...
Reading the manual for the 37, it says the HUD display shows an AWS warning straight away, but the 37 scripting delays it a second or so to be...
Looks good. Will need to wait till next AP sale to get the 43 enhancement pack first though.
Been having difficulty getting my 37 with half a dozen coaches out of Glasgow Queen Street bound for Edinburgh. There’s a bit on an incline and...
I'm still finding my way around TS, had a look at the Workshop tab and am a little confused. The big list of scenarios - are these associated...
Thanks for setting me right, guys.
I notice if you’re at the platform at Dundee, if you haven’t got power on once the brakes are released, you start rolling back right away....
It’s the sort of loco you need to have read the manual to know the controls, the series and parallel arrangements, full field and weak field, plus...
Came across this fly out display window in a video using TS2012. Is the left hand panel still accessible in TS2021, or has it been superceded?
I haven't tried the 86 yet. I have a 73 which I need to read the manual for as when I tried it on the fly, I couldn't get it to move. There's...
Some interesting historical material: https://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk/documents/MetroVickers_MSWLocos1954.pdf...
Is the 76 one of the hardest locos to master, I wonder....
Great pictures, Peter! As the 506 doesn't have a speedometer, how did the drivers adhere to the speed limits? Just training and familiarity with...
That looks great. We have most of the Scottish scenic routes, but Inverness to Wick and Thurso would be good (perhaps even Inverness to Aberdeen...
I was wondering about this, as images of the real line show some very stretched pantographs.
I heard somewhere there’s a fuller manual to the 76 than the summaries contained in the Woodhead manual. Does anyone have a link?
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Interesting to see some images of the real 76: in part of the route, the overhead lines are set very high for some reason,...
Some more images.. [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
I like this route, picked up in the holiday sales. Interestingly, before I get the Class 76 moving, I hear some ‘pops’ in the outside view....
I should have checked the real thing first. Here are some photos. There does seem to be evidence of a join at the bridge start. I think if JT had...
Thanks pookie, I turned off the procedural flora, and that does the trick. I think there was one route that required it to be on, so will have to...
The Forth Bridge also has the track painted the same colour as the bridge, with a very noticeable join. It’s a real shame that this core and...
Has anyone else had any issues with the scenery in JT’s SECML? I notice in Dundee, there seems to be an issue with grass (!) placed about train...
I’m beginning to think the same, they are more annoying than not. Especially as there’s so little variety, and you see 2-3 on the same person on...
is TS set to 4K? Monitor? Looking at the jaggies, the image isn’t 4K.
