PS5 Version… The one unders at Harrow and Wealdstone are back. Just killed not one but two passengers crossing the fast lines with a Euston to...

Exactly why they should probably have started with something much less ambitious!

Still can’t bring myself to pay £30 for Cardiff, but yes the route is ideally configured for short, quick conductor runs.

The OP is a little absurd. The line underneath at Retford is hardly busy like the NLL or one of the lines coming out of a London termini with...

As I pointed out in the Mastery thread, there is a little exploit with Sandbox Switching on Sherman Hill, with completion counting towards...

Tadami has become a bit of a running joke alongside the Class 104 DMU for the Peak route. With hindsight, the best that can be said is that UW...

Far worse (IMHO) are the acres of unused yards and sidings on Spirit Of Steam. They should all have been alive with traffic bolstered by several...

Subject to what’s said on this week’s Roadmap I’m still more than half convinced that’s where the Frankfurt S Bahn route is destined for. And with...

It is certainly a bug as I had the same thing on recent conductor runs but whether DTG are actively pursuing a solution remains to be seen.

Wouldn't really have hurt in TSC where most routes come with 6 - 10 scenarios, if you are lucky!

Well in case anyone missed it, there was a thread in the main GD area asking about the Class 68,eliciting a rare direct response from DTG (Jamie)...

The biggest problem with this route, desirable though it might be, will be the very sparse timetable. Even if you set back in the days of loco...

Yes. A tent, a stout pair of boots and plenty of mosquito repellent, then! There are also several cab ride videos available ranging from the old...

Interesting workaround, or exploit if you like… Discovered purely by accident that “Sandbox Switching” on Sherman also ticks off Conductor mode....

For GTA6 or my new PC… LOL!

I reverted to TRS19 for my occasional attempts at building a model railway style route.

Well at least I will probably have changed/upgraded my potato PC by then! Just be too old and tired to play the game. Oh not forgetting it’s...

I always take the view that TOD3 vs. TOD4 is an example of Hobson’s Choice… TOD3 = black shadows over everything and cuttings that look like the...

Can confirm the unofficial save is in very early days. When I resumed the save which was there and tried to save again, I continued to get the...

When I did the Far North line for MSTS in 2002 I didn’t have any DEM data and worked off paper OS maps purchased from the bookshop. I also had to...

Further to the alpha save - note this also does not appear to work with older (OG) scenarios. (Yet!).

Oh yes, despite my current renewed enthusiasm for SimRail there is still much to be done. I certainly don’t agree that multiplayer is a substitute...

I quickly did one last night after finishing up with SimRail, Morecambe into Lancaster. I had one ticket to check en route to Bare Lane then none...

Ratners jewellers IIRC.

We had a term for that at work. Winkspeak. Except replace the “i” with an “a”…

Both GWR and Cross Country continue to pose licensing obstacles. Best chance of this route appearing (and IMHO more interesting) would be BR...

Interesting... when I went to load my save from earlier it must have failed to take. On trying to save now getting an error message - Unable to...

Think I might have let slip in earlier discussions it might be worth trying as something different! But not 15 of the things...

Somehow doubt it will be that. as Jamie denied in another recent thread there are any plans for a Class 68. Not saying it couldn't be done with...

+1 Just something different to do and more productive than sticking up posters or replenishing plant pots (IMHO).

Well in the meantime the Save for the SP game is going great. Just did another hour with the Lodz to Warsaw IC, which is now the third time I...

That was my experience when I tried conductor mode a few weeks ago. All of the trips I was simply told to wait for the next station. One train had...

Another possibility for JT could be the Highland Main Line. We know at one time they were working on it for TSC, but the project got cancelled....

Useful to know. Will probably still pencil this in for a future sale as what with the Monthly’s to do in TSW, now being able to save SP scenarios...

Excellent news. Oh and just to confirm, the 377’s on WCMLS don’t have conductor (neither do the 423 runs on Frankfurt to Fulda).

IIRC wasn’t there something of a fudge, as they didn’t want to risk the demonstration failing, some of the mounting bolts on the Peak were, ahem,...

Plus their half a route effort for Bernina and their penchant for releasing traction with poor physics and sounds.

Scared, more like DTG are terrified of this route! Yet despite the Electrostar fest it remains one of the most complete UK routes in the game,...

Yes fairly certain JT said they were not contemplating going to Glasgow. That said, with the AC electrics in their roster not unthinkable they...

Yes. Already a game changer. Still a WIP as you need to load up the scenario and get in the cab before the load option appears. I also needed to...

Interesting point. If you keep reloading the same conductor mode run to finish it after saving (say) five minutes before the end, will it count...

Great stuff, will try it out. Edit,yes it works though you have to go back in the original scenario and wait to board the train. Also appears you...

I will have to check if the 377 runs from Wembley Central to Watford Jn and vice versa have Conductor mode as they are about 15 minutes.

Was actually my introduction to the Swiss metre gauge on my first visit in 1983. Of course back then, if you were travelling over the line on a...

This would make a lovely route, though I fear if Rivet did it we would get Zweisimmen to Chateux de Oux only (or Montreux to Chateux de Oux) only.

That’s me off in a huff, then! Maybe one day… :)

Along with the 310’s probably the best outer suburban AC units. At least the seats had a window you could see out of and not a wall or bulkhead.

True. Anyhow found the rest of the objectives… Complete 5 timetables exceeding 100 MPH. WCMLS here I come… Drive 400 miles… Complete 5 scenarios....

I will. Save me checking, what are the other objectives bearing in mind I need to tie this in with enjoying the new SimRail route extension?

Actually you can probably blame me for that one, didn’t I say earlier in the thread that Conductor mode would be an interesting alternative than...
