Class 506

I am not against it, I know it may sound like it. For me though, I am a big fan of the era and lets face it we haven't been blessed with much...

:D especially in 80's blue and grey, perfect for 1970's period route packs!

I think it depends what buildings they are though. Certainly railway buildings desirably should be bespoke, and any iconic buildings in the...

You are lucky in Liverpool having two fine cathedrals. I have sung several times in the Anglican one, it is a truly amazing space. It also has...

I enjoy driving the 86 and 87 on TS1 although the tap changer does take some getting used to.

Well I think that is when Derek was aiming for but many of the collieries and quarries on the route had closed well before then and the Wearhead...

A 104 would fit in with the NTP route. For any future routes maybe if DTG make any for a suitable period but that is looking unlikely.

I would assume that health and safety would dictate that a window has to be clean.

A class 56 I imagine would have been seen on the TVL, not sure if any worked across the Pennines?

Class 143 would be good, in Provincial livery for the TVL. Something like a class 104 or 108 to add some more DMU variety to NTP. I don't think...

Yes I think it is down to graphics settings, I used to get it too. Whilst we are on the subject of windows, I wish there was an option to turn...

It was only because it was next to a Cathedral lol. Some churches have rented space on their towers for masts in fact.

Lol no. In fact I cannot stand plastic windows especially on older buildings. Near me there is a 17th century former bakery, a beautiful double...

Terrace houses are a bug bear of mine on the older routes. Look at any photo from the 50's and 60's, 99% of terraced houses still had their...

The more I see that spire, the more it looks southern European. It is far too large for that relatively small tower!

Unbelievable :|! Speaking of trolls.......

Hence the use of the word opinion, maybe you should brush up on your comprehension skills! Please show us the facts then? Then I suggest you...

That is what I thought was the case. I can imagine there would have been a lot of frowning if a two car set was sent down to Paddington! Anyway I...

It is madness and now developers are trying to reverse the changes in many cases. Such a shame, seems that politicians all over are short...

The UK has suffered a litany of crimes against architecture since the late 50's leaving some of our historic cities, some of the most historic in...

That is interesting to know, thank you.

I forgot all about that, I did purchase it but don't have it installed. It was a nice little route if I recall with opportunities for pottering...

I agree it is an awesome feature and I hope to see more. I would dearly love to purchase it as a fan of 1970's BR. However in my opinion they have...

Both Woodhead routes are great routes, both atmospheric, the original still looks good ten years on. Trying to get away from Wath with a heavy...

Can you use downloaded reskins in service mode? For example if you painted the TVL class 101 in livery editor into all over blue could you replace...

That looks very nice but I would argue it is more 1980's esque :) As I have said I often run older stock in TS1 on newer period routes and that...

I would be happy to be the one being laughed at if there was a nice surprise! I don't think that will happen though.

No not that one, although I will have to check that one out. It is "A Locomans Log 1937-85" by Bill Alcock, he starts off as a cleaner at...

I am reading a book about a Saltley driver in the 50's, it seemed very common, I did wonder if it was a bit of a urban myth but evidently not. I...

They certainly seem to have a more "aggressive" sound than many electric units.

I watched the stream earlier, sounded good to me so will definitely be getting it.

I think it would make a very interesting 80's route, especially with the freight potential. I know class 121 bubble cars were used on it then the...

I hope when we get steam we will be able to fry an egg and some bacon on the shovel like they used to do.

I don't know how it works to be honest, whether AP will have put copyright on the scripting or not? I am sure DTG will have the where with all...

AP would have made the class 313 for TS1 though.

Well they have that wrong as well as there were 74 class 52 diesels! For clarity btw, there were 21 class 166 units.

Do you mean the 52? There hasn't been a class 72 yet, although DTG might have found evidence of one at Reading depot!

These small details would create more immersion that is for sure. On the class 101 you have a nice handle to change the destination which is a...

As far as I know the class 165 and 166 are very similar, as far as I know visual differences were first class accommodation and some extra hopper...

Class 365

I wish DTG would make up it's mind about how realistic it wants operations to be. They have said they don't want to add unrealistic trains to...

Well to be honest I don't often watch the streams so I would have missed those comments and I am probably guilty of raising my own expectations. I...

Voyager?

I expected one new loco to be honest, I knew we wouldn't get a new DMU, I expected an all blue 101 but I expected a Warship or a Hymek to be most...

:o lol I loved the 45's I must admit although I rarely saw them in BR service. Very occasionally you would get one on the freightliner service to...

Damn 319 was my second choice!

Class 321?

Yes the NTP is a lovely route, it can be fun to drive with the gradients and in the class 101 trying to keep to time on the stopping services.

Yes I agree with that, I don't want to dissuade DTG from exploring this option in the future. The point for me is, they could have attracted the...
