Can you remember how frequent the freight was back then? I know this area is particularly busy for freight traffic.
My original thinking was that Barnetby would be the stopping point for freight as if changing drivers, similar to Eaglescliffe on Tees Valley. Now...
As long as we don't get concentrations of routes in a specific area just because they merge. Plenty of other regions to explore first.
Barton Line: Cleethorpes to Barnetby and Barton-on-Humber Description The Barton Line is a rural diesel line situated in the county of...
That would fall into the consist length limitation. The substitution system cannot swap out a Class 47 for a double headed Class 31.
Hampton Court is beyond Woking, you wouldn't include it unless going into Waterloo. The best stretch in my opinion would be Guildford to Waterloo,...
You need to place more assets, or in some cases build new ones for specific structures like stations and notable landmarks.
London Commuter isn't the smoothest either, and I wouldn't want to guess what a PDL route would be like.
Scenery complexity, yes. Modelling a town is far more complex than modelling a field for example.
Again Sherman Hill is mostly 76 miles of countryside, the PDL has a lot of urban and suburban scenery with a large number of stations, complex...
London to Southampton is far more urban though, Sherman Hill is mostly open countryside. It would likely take far longer to model, especially with...
The Class 31 and 3-car Class 101 were not made available on NTP due to them being underpowered and lacking the ability to keep to the timetable,...
York to Newcastle is a more conservative length at around 60 miles, it would be nice to see this route remade similar to the original kuju route...
Thank you. Manchester is probably too far, maybe Preston at a push but Lancaster is most ideal given it is a major station where all services stop at.
Just use the Mk1s included with Spirit of Steam, and reserve the Mk2s for the existing railtour formations using the diesels.
Possibly, I can't say I'm too familiar with the line though. Compared to the Brighton Main Line there's probably been fewer changes however....
Sounds interesting! A good alternative should the modern day TOC licenses not be obtained.
I think they mean well, even if it comes across wrong. Not everyone has the same faculties. Thanks. There are plenty other Northern routes that...
If we can't get an era-appropriate route, then the best option would be for a Class 421 or 423 add-on for East Coastway set in 2003-2004,...
I agree, having more of the sprinter classes would allow for some fun variety in train formations. Not sure exactly if the Class 158 ever operated...
That explains what I must have seen, thanks.
Not sure if much freight goes between these two routes either. I would imagine not since most westbound freight goes via the GWML using the Acton...
Come to think of it that's actually a better idea, thanks. Maybe throw in some steam rail tours in the timetable as well.
Buy the latest release unless you want the Medway Valley or High Speed sections specifically, or if simply wanting to save money (although if you...
A Class 707 add-on for the existing Waterloo to Woking section of the PDL would be good, if not with a new route such as this. Not sure why a...
Service duration is a better metric than route length. You can still make a short route and have plenty going on, especially when there are...
The Class 155 and 158 did operate to Penzance as far as I am aware, but only on the longer distance services to Exeter and Bristol, not the...
At launch a BR Green or Black Class 08 wouldn't go a miss, simply to provide a shunting/pilot locomotive if such is needed. Then later provide a...
Furness Line: Lancaster to Morecambe and Barrow-in-Furness Description The Furness Line is a 35 mile rural diesel line running between Lancaster...
Better to have a separate timetable with diesel layers to keep us all happy, or follow on with something like a BR Green diesels pack.
Not sure why? They should be 1920 by 1080. I posted them as thumbnails so you should be able to click on them to enlarge.
Or not include any stopping services at all (which I suspect will happen) then have a loco DLC sometime later adding these in. Something like a...
Thanks for the CML update, EKR is a nice bonus :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Class 101, Tees Valley Line [ATTACH]
External and cab modelling is alright, but as expected the sounds are copied from the Class 450, and like the still unfixed Class 323 are not...
The full line from Penzance to Plymouth would be preferable, St Austell is such an awkward place to end a route. Even then it would be a large...
Any of the standard class locos built by BR (specifically the 2MT, 4MT and 9F). [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The 2MT covering stopping services,...
That's assuming we get low performance. Train Simulator is far less optimised and unstable compared to TSW, it does run slower with steam but...
Having a short branch line would be a bit underwhelming though, going big is probably the best way to attract the largest audience. Same strategy...
A separate timetable would be preferable in that case.
Good luck with GWR steam locomotives then. They're so similar that from common parts you can build one from another. Seriously though, the loco...
Or sit in the rear carriage and use the declassified first class seats ;)
Well, there goes the rumour that Thameslink and the Desiro City can't be licensed. Hopefully not too long to wait for a TSW equivalent.
I meant a Class 411/423 as a loco DLC, the main route could include what you have suggested.
The Class 411 or Class 423 would work too, potentially substituting in for the Class 450. Some units wore a SWT livery during their final years in...
Route and loco choices are excellent, but I'm slightly concerned by not having a fully functional steam loco yet in-game with working sounds and...
Would a Class 122 'bubble car' be appropriate for NTP? It could have layering potential for WCL too.
If not route mergers, at least something like portals that allow respawning between routes that interconnect, using the existing scenario portal...
The AP Class 92 sound pack as a similar quirk; the motors can overheat causing an alarm to go off, leading you on a hunt for the key binding to...
The Class 90 has a random fault mode, although not particularly enjoyable when you can't figure out how to resolve the issue.
Separate names with a comma.
