Squeaky wheels getting grease
Correct. But Sam has said CC will definitely not be Abellio. (At a guess, I would conjecture that DTG have approached Abellio in the past for a...
How that works is very much a question of corporate structure. Some conglomerates leave trademark and licensing issues to the subsidiaries, some...
Don't hold your breath. Existing routes don't get services for new locos added- at least, not unless Adam goes in as he apparently has with RT,...
Does it make any sense to replace a poky little 120 kph freight (and slow passenger) engine with a 200 kph express speedster? Kind of like...
Both are owned by First Group.
Has a longstanding series of amusing driving videos under the handle "Colonel Failure."
To use dynamic brakes (this applies to the F7 as well): Reduce throttle to idle WAIT until the ammeter drops to zero (I don't know if the game...
Cathcart Circle is apparently going to be in First Scotrail markings, so derived from the same license.
FRA would have a field day fining DTG's American locos for their totally defective headlights. No working setting above "night light."
The key word there is driving. How much fun would a modern Victoria Line '09 Stock with ATO be?
I think that there may be something of an impulse at DTG to capture a moment before it's gone. GWE is set in what was not only the "present"...
The dead-throttle bug in the '72 Tube Stock is longstanding and widely discussed; there has finally been some progress made on figuring out what...
It looks really good; all I would do is up the transparency on the streaking to make it less jump-out-at-you.
Getting there; it's progressing now. What I did was make two bargain-basement "Clinchfield"s, that aren't all that accurate but much cheaper in...
Building a station is a huge job of work, one far beyond Adam's little team of four. In general, I can't see DTG adopting a policy of trying to...
I don't use it myself, but the impression I get of Tik Tok is that it's populated primarily by 1) vapid teenage girls, 2) trolling teenage boys,...
It is odd, because we either have to assume it's set in the NSE days, or just accept an anachronism. The rolling stock is therefore 1990s: does...
I have no intention of condemning console users to the abyssal void. While I play TSW on PC now, I started on XBox. The only reasons I changed...
I love that classic cream-and-crimson livery ("beige" and "purple-red" were the official colors). I did an ICE3 in them. [IMG]
Have to be pre-2015, since it won't be Abellio
You think we get the short end? According to the marketing people, a very, vary large proportion of TSW customers are Australian- and has there...
This is how it works (with any software company on the planet): QC: We found a bug in the software scheduled to release Wednesday next....
That's the only reason I bought it. The HRR route itself holds little interest for me. Whereas the new 425 layer in HMA has already added some...
I don't believe this patch included anything for Bakerloo. So if you found a bug, it's an old one.
Actually you just walk to the marker nearby
Also, it's geared for high speed, not torque.
It's a great mod, but it doesn't fix this problem, since it doesn't eliminate the white 2D trees.
Installed it and it looks fantastic! Would you mind doing a similar ballast mod for Sand Patch?
The physics are part of the core game engine, so all DLC will function the same (that is, by TSW2 rules). Preserved Collection DLC technically...
Just ran that portion again: no problems. Mind you, you can't hold line speed with that consist- that would take maybe 14k horsepower. But you...
The radio/HOTD breaker MUST be on in Locos 1 and 3. Otherwise, you have no radio communication and no way to direct the banking pair.. Banking...
Your banking MU at the back don't seem to be pushing (they aren't belching smoke, either, a good sign they're doing no work). There's no way two...
Which service, and with what traction? Certain heavy trains just can't make it up with SD40s- you need AC4400s.
Ach, you're right, the 363 has a hydraulic transmission. I was misled by the jackstaff-and-bevel gear final drive. Don't know why I said that...
He's running taillights first....
I believe that's the case. Southern Pacific ordered them, along with a small order by Rio Grande (which they later sold to SP). In both cases...
Many small shunters, like the 08/09 and the 363, use mechanical drivetrains.
Calling people "stupid" and "lazy" is not, in better circles, considered polite. Personally I disagree with your default-state assumption. I...
All US headlights in TSW are way too feeble. This is a bigger problem than just individual loco models.
I think it more likely that, like so many vintage UK routes, it's because they have a BR brand license, and don't risk a repeat of the Virgin...
That would be the EMD NW-3. There were seven of these built, a special order from Great Northern. Identical to the ubiquitous 1000-hp NW-2 yard...
Clinchfield is arguably the best route for TSW made to date. OSD gets mixed reviews- not a lot of variety in it, and something of a re-hash of...
Except the 38 has 2000 hp
Updated to reflect the fixed SD40 number plates in today's patch.
A clear green, OR if there is no signal within the next 500 meters.
It does appear that Adam has done precisely this with RT- but said that to do it he had to build a whole new timetable from scratch, and it took...
Diesel-electric means a diesel engine turning a generator which powers electric traction motors- probably the most common diesel transmission in...
Seriously? The DR built a 900hp gear-drive "mainline diesel" ? (I know that the 204 has been up-engined, but still....)
A problem with doing the BR Green era is that it would't look right without steam engines as well
Separate names with a comma.
