You know things are desperate when people are getting excited about having the full compliment of sub-classes for a modern EMU. "Look! A slightly...
Yeah, I noticed no mid-cycle title from DTG. We got Cardiff Network last year, GOBLIN the year before. It's all third party stuff. This at...
Surely it would be preferable to have a route for the XC 170s and 220 instead of something else on the WCML mostly involving Class 350s and 390s...
Some people get excited doing the same thing all the time. I know people who go on holiday to the same place every year. I think people like that...
No. Absolutely not. Dear DTG; No more WCML or expect a terse and sardonic letter of complaint from the other side of the Thames Estuary. This...
It's happening. The new GBR livery is going to start to be applied to English-based trains in 2026. The one caveat is that previous attempts at...
The later Network South East livery included red white and dark blue. You also got a variety of greys with them. Perhaps this is the plan,...
I endorsed a suggestion in that instance. I've no idea what it was called, it could have been as much as 8 years ago. But I can remember saying...
While I love the slam-door era suggestion, I wouldn't mind a mixture of 455s and 701s. The 455s retire from service on Tuesday-week (23rd...
I've downloaded the GBR liveries for TSW from the Creators' Club. It's the future and I'm looking forward to it.
Well you've not been here very long have you? Over my years in this forum I've recommended, or endorsed recommendations of, routes in the US,...
Totally agree. Players of the Football Manager series have moaned for years that the press conferences are repetitive and boring. I imagine that's...
I agree they should fill in the gaps eventually, but it also won't hurt for developers to give the WCML a rest for a couple of years. I'm sure...
It doesn't appear that the Class 350 standing up and being wedged into the roof bug has been fixed. It's a game-ending bug when you get a door...
Didn't ATS tease that an "Intercity" version of the Class 90 is planned too? If that's the case and they really mean "Intercity" (which for the...
I think C2C should be an excellent little route, like the GEML it's not just commuter trains, there's a lot of freight workings too. I think we'll...
An extension to Leeds and York would be good, I know they're only two shortish sections but perhaps it could include the Leeds to York part of the...
A regional French line somewhere in the southern half of the country. Limoges to Toulouse would be perfect.
The livery is bold, it's growing on me. Absolutely delighted that Dovetail are working with the DfT and GBR. This hopefully means many modern...
I'd say there's an even higher chance of us seeing an East Anglian route now it appears Dovetail are working with GBR/DfT and the licence issues...
That's one of my top 10 wanted routes. A mixture of slammers and Electrostars would be brilliant. The advantage Southern slam door stock has over...
I did forget one Southern 1980s route, Cornwall coastal thingy. I've used it once since purchase as it's not very good so it's easy to forget.
I wonder if the request for new trains comes from someone in the North of England. Look at where the 1980s lines are based. Trans-Pennine, Tees...
Congratulations on your suggestion becoming reality. Is it a good feeling?
Emergency Appeal: Any developers out there who want to specialize in Network South East-era/area content? There's a huge gap in train sim market...
It's business. I have to collaborate on cases with companies and individuals who I don't particularly like, some I've even had personal...
Medway Line is actually a nice drive in TSC. Though probably helped by the number of Class 411 scenarios out there for it. The 375 is a far duller...
It's kind of a good thing that there's not a regular release of regional French routes to be honest. It's the only other country that I'd want to...
1. Liverpool Street to Ipswich (eras 1964 to 2025) 2. Fenchurch St. to Shoeburyness (1962 to 2025) 3. Norwich to Gt.Yarmouth/Lowestoft (1962 to...
I continue to buy TSW content, UK in particular, even if its not my particular thing because I like having lots of different traction options on...
A late 1970's pack for ECML is my easiest suggestion. An original Intercity 125 and a Deltic using Mk2 D-F stock. Job done. I'll shut my moaning...
Lovely to see my choices BML and TPE in the top 3 and ECW 4th.
I'd just be happier if 1 in 4 UK DTG releases were Pre-2000s. At the moment it's JT growing 1986 Lancashire network or nothing.
I think we can have some festive fun with this topic with some more screenshots of weird passenger behaviour. Not to make light of it necessarily,...
I don't like Discord. I don't like its layout and how it encourages "hot takes" rather than informed discussion. I won't be using it. Even if...
While my sweet-spot is the Network South Era, I'd absolutely love a modern TPE route with IETs and 185s, Liverpool to York (okay maybe that's a...
There usually is. Frankly, I don't care if it's not got "Greater Anglia" written on the side. I know others feel more strongly about licenced...
Greater Anglia is now an in-house DfT contract having stopped being a TOC in October. DTG have a record of working with DfT operators, LNER and...
Damn right. As long as I've lived in North Essex there was a choice of traction at my local station. 309/312, then 312/321, then 321/360 and only...
I do get that most rail enthusiasts will have a preference for the trains they grew-up with and its important that they record the modern railway...
I think the natural flow of releases will be modern traction. If that's what's selling then that's the temptation for developers to make modern...
Aladdin's Cave is a good descriptor. Norwich Thorpe used to run hybrid DMU consists quite a bit and had a small number of Class 100 DMBS cars and...
Incredible isn't it. DTG showed how good they can make TSW look on GOBLIN (apart from Barking Flood Barrier being absent near Riverside and it...
It's not really for me, I'm lukewarm on a lot of German routes but my god are we in desperate need of seeing an interesting city like Berlin in...
As I've said many times, if we're getting an Underground line, I'd rather it wasn't a tube-stock line as the tunnels are single bore through the...
Oh yes, I've had a taste of how it works in the music industry. Having done some freelance writing for magazines, booked bands for festivals and...
Hey, stop picking on my London. It's busy and expensive but otherwise it's by far the best city in the UK.
It would still take quite a bit of modelling to make a 150/1, you have the interior detail, the different cab layout, all of which would require...
There's only one more boring Underground route than this and it's the Waterloo & City. One of the joys of virtual train driving is feeling like...
