I agree I think we need a balance of eras and styles of trains. It would be good to think in the future you can drive a Victorian steam engine,...

Go to WSR today. Do you see a class 800, a 195, a 66? No you see 50 year old diesels and even older steam engines. It in no way can be described...

Sadly scenario planner seems so basic you can't really do much with it.

Totally agree, I have made this point many times. If you like an era then you like the era it doesn't matter what age the trains are surely! All...

Well if they did that, it would be another piece of DLC I wouldn't be purchasing. The blue/grey class 101 on a specifically designed 1970's period...

Yes that would make sense , it could be the first "steam" route but without steam yet with the intention of it coming when ready. Riviera in the...

I have looked at it and often thought of downloading it but I have read it is quite heavy on resources. It looks very good though, thanks. I am...

Well quite. It is strange seeing photos of Stourbridge Junction with fields around it where housing now stands. The area behind the station...

The Snow Hill lines would be very welcome. The Stourbridge Town branch set in the 1950's would actually be quite an interesting little route with...

When you can do what you can in TS1 with it, that is when I start taking notice of the scenario planner. Ultimately I would love to be able to...

I think the Welsh Marches merger with South Wales gives the driver a more logical start/end point of Cardiff or Swansea, where as Newport wasn't...

I think it was only singled from 1987 to 2004. My 1989 WR track plan books shows it and there are quite a few photos of it around. I was looking...

If we get the WSR mark 1's we need more variety. I think only the named top expresses got chocolate and cream mark 1's, they weren't that common...

Yes that is very likely, I always thought when this pack was announced that a BR blue WR route would appear at some point, not this soon though....

I would much rather a class 110 which were built for the Calder Valley Line. Personally it is much more fun having gears to change and separate...

I think that is a little unfair. They have built bespoke stock for the IOW and Arosa lines and very good it is too so no reason to think they...

I would certainly care, the two sound very different and if they did release an Intercity HST with MTU sounds it would be enough to stop me...

I would be happy with late 80's. You could have the 101 for the branch line, Sprinter for the mainline provincial services, the class 47 would...

Yes please with the Tenbury branch too. I have walked parts of the old track bed through the Wyre forest. However the chances of seeing that are...

They would have been seen west of Plymouth in the late 80's and early 90's as Laira had an allocation of 101's and 108's plus some 122's, they...

I ran the merged Welsh Marches and SWC route yesterday for the first time and it is indeed a wonderful creation. Especially turning the clock back...

That is what I always understood too but it appears to be not the case. I suspect a lot of employers are under the misapprehension that that is...

Where were the class 155's used then? I remember them on the Cardiff to Birmingham service coming through Stourbridge before it was re-routed up...

That is an interesting point. But in that case then that would mean that Rivet will be building all the trains and stock from scratch. So, if it...

You would think they would split the time periods into maybe 1950's to 1960's and 1970's to 1980's or 90's as they were contrasting time periods...

I don't know, there was quite a backlash when the class 101 appeared in that GWE pack. It would be worse on a period route supposedly set in that...

I love hearing first hand experience of those who worked on the railways. It is the sort of thing which I think developers could use more of,...

Ah okay I hadn't realised how far away it was. I know there was a good view of it from the Newnham branch terminus although I guess that view...

I hope we get a nice model of Pearson's Truro Cathedral too. The Falmouth will be a big miss as you say there is the junction there which will...

I am guessing the Falmouth branch will be conspicuous by its absence. I think the biggest issue if it is set in the 50's will be they will need...

I am not judging the route, obviously it is impossible to do so as we haven't got any details apart from area and era. Apart from probably the...

I would be interested to see it and might be made to eat my words!

It is a simulator so really it shouldn't be harnessed to just the modern era unless it is marketed as doing so. I don't see that era dictates a...

I think the class 150/2's did make it quite far away from South Wales on occasion but I am not sure they would have made it past Exeter although...

Yes I agree that they have very similar characteristics to the Kuju one. Unless it is the angles the Kuju spire looks to be the same height as the...

My 1988 working timetable shows quite a few Sprinter diagrams in the area, most on longer distance services, the nearest allocation was Cardiff...

I would too likely purchase it if it is set in a more modern era, I think there is more chance of them getting the stock accurate. I like the...

Well we don't actually know anything about it apart from the area it covers so we can't really say they aren't putting much into this!

It was quiet but so is a mark 3 carriage. The seats were awful though and I would rather sacrifice a little bit of journey time and experience...

Well presumably if they could read and could understand that the route was set in the 1970's or 1980's, which is in the capabilities of most...

It is from Truro I think although I suspect without the Falmouth branch. The class 118 would be even better than the class 117 as they were far...

I have and can remember the backache from the awful seats! It was quiet and smooth in diesel mode I will give you that but why designers seem to...

Peter you are a genius. Reinstalling the sound pack has done the trick which should have been obvious to me in the first place. Although I am sure...

Translated as "I want just modern routes so I don't see why they should cater for anyone else"! It may come as a surprise to you but many people...

If the Snowdon Mountain railway was released I wouldn't be surprised to see a class 101 packaged with it! The German enthusiasts are getting a...

A class 117 wouldn't really be correct as in the 1970's Laira had class 118's and not many 117 vehicles, most of those were at Bristol and Reading...

Are class 166's used on the St Ives branch, I wouldn't have thought so but maybe they are? Actually I don't think class 166's are allowed into...

Well each to their own. I for one am glad it is that era if we get the correct DMU. I am sure we will get plenty of modern routes to come. Don't...

Good point, I hadn't thought of that. I shall install it now and report back later.

I agree the water in TS1 is far better. As soon as I saw the St Ives branch was part of this route I had a sinking feeling that the sea will be a...
