I deleted and reinstalled Powerhouse, seems to be working again now.

On the subject of Powerhouse, i've tried to launch it today and get this message: [ATTACH] Does anyone know what this is caused by & how to fix...
I recently had a play around with my graphics card and TSC settings to try and squeeze out some more frames and boost in-game performance. I...

Another weekend, another adventure out with Tyseley's charter rake. This time we're starting from Kent, with a preserved 'Schools' masquerading...
This is true of modern rolling stock and older suburban stock. With loco-hauled rakes, it can still take ages to release the brakes even from a...
This is exactly true - gone are the days of balancing the SRTs against the planned dwell time (either 30s or 'dot', depending how you do it.)...
Part of the problem is that in real life, dwell time runs from wheels stop to wheels start. The simulator measures the dwell as between pressing...
Some shots of large GWR steam locomotives on the main line where they belong. First we have 7029 'Clun Castle' flying along the Down Main at...
Thanks Gary, that’s really useful. Cheers everyone :)
How do I use anything shorter than 35 seconds, which it seems to default back to?
Hi Folks For my own use I’m creating a scenario on the excellent North London Line (NSE) from Backdated Train Sim, using a copy of the 1987...
I’ve sent a message to Precision Locomotive Developments (BMG), I’ll see if anything comes of it. (On a separate note, I just saw their Met-Camm...
It’s essentially the opposite, the driving wheels motion (and initial sounds) are too fast for the speed of the loco. But I guess the cause would...
With a couple of notable exceptions, 3 cylinder locomotives have 6 beats per wheel revolution whereas both 2 and 4-cylinder locos have 4.
Not yet, I was curious if anyone else thought the same!
I can see the wheels are going round too fast, there is no indication that the game sees the locomotive as slipping though.
Hi folks Bit of an odd one - since the BMG Castle pack was released, I’ve played with it quite a bit. The models and the physics are brilliant,...
A morning peak scene at St Pancras Thameslink - a northbound service has just finished disgorging it's load, while a southbound working from...
Yes I definitely agree about the change log - otherwise you don’t know what you are downloading!
Just to close out my own query, AP have confirmed to me that the original MML scenarios in the 317 and 319 packs are being re-added for customers...
They’ve certainly disappeared from my scenarios list in the TSC Drive menus. Irony is that today I spent my ‘weekly allowance’ on the Vegetation...
Silly question that may be unrelated. I haven't bought the AP upgrade (although it's on my 'future maybes' list). I've noticed that all the AP...

North Somerset Railway - 'The Mendip Line' Spring Steam Gala Weekend [ATTACH]
Guess what I have been up to, for the last few days (in real life). You get one clue: [ATTACH]
In 1960 the Stainmore Line was under threat (closed in 1962) but the summer holiday traffic between Tyne/Tees and Blackpool was still in full...
I've been compiling a Summer 1957 scenario for Riviera 1950s using the BR (W) passenger timetable and a book about how the holiday extras were...
And a couple more shots of Huddersfield. I think the AP lighting pack is probably the enhancement that kept me playing the game. [ATTACH]...

Thats also prototypical! IIRC they were only permitted in one particular platform at KX (6 maybe?) and locked up half of the station throat while...
Thank you, this appears to have fixed the issue :)

Brilliant thank you, I should have thought of that. My scenario was Standard, so it’s an easy fix. Cheers muchly
Please could someone remind me how to do this in a scenario - specifically setting it up so that the player is waiting on a platform (watching...
