Well now that we know that West Somerset was reworked for Thomas' benefit rather than ours it makes you question the motivation for reworking...
It's so weird, and annoying, that DTG have allowed this to happen. (I guess we'll have to buy the Athena pack to resolve it?).
At least this will mean we can finally run rakes of mixed Mk1 and Mk2 coaches with community liveries. Why DTG haven't solved this before is...
I've heard that DTG will give us 200 new different Class 66's to celebrate the occasion.
The original books were great. My Mum was a librarian so growing up, an awfully long time ago, I was able to read them all quite easily. I think,...
Really? I think that's the most disturbing part of your post Matt ;) :D :D (Typed with my tongue firmly in my cheek).
That makes it worse of course. Remember that Annie, Clarabel and Henrietta are just the 'servants' and have no life of their own. Trust me the...
I can't be bothered to read these long Thomas threads but the above message from DTG has got me curious. Have they announced the creation of any...
You can sort of do this already. Make your first scenario and take time to put as much AI in as you can. Then simply copy this scenario, rename...
These look very good Dave. Well done. A nice selection of green BR diesels will go very nicely with the Peak Forest extra paths mod that I'm sure...
These look good Dave. I also had a look through my German wagons and only really spotted the car transporters as possible BR wagons. I presume I...
Yes it is based on a Scottish BSOT. (See link below). There are a couple of types and I have modelled both. The trouble is remembering what's what...
Have now worked my way through all BR locomotives and created formations using a variety of Mk1 coaches. Started with the Westerns and ended up...
I think DTG got fed up with them always pushing for the tube to be modelled. ;) (I'll get my coat).
Maybe we can have a freeware CL47 and MK1s scenario on the ECML ;) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
If you think about it, the C2C route would give you HS1, Docklands Light Rail, the District Line, the Romford branch and both the C2C and LU...
AI seagulls swooping down to nick your chips at Saltburn & St Ives? :cool:
And a few more. Now off to sort out the longer formations :cool: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Messing about with my Mark 1 formations (now using all 3 different models from the game to give longer, separately numbered rakes). Chugging along...
All I would suggest is that if you are going to go to the trouble of creating areas you name all sidings etc so that they can be pathed to (and...
Would this sort of thing tickle your fancy? [ATTACH]
To go back to the OP's original question then the answer is simply that DTG only put minimal effort in to making scenarios. It's as if they are a...
Some more screenshots of me 'messing about' with some earlier versions of my DMUs.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A bit more success with running different versions of the same unit together in scenarios. This time using the CL101 DMU (Although I also had to...
Here is a little bit different. It has only just occurred to me that you can manipulate multiple versions of the same item of stock to get more...
That's not actually correct. If you are prepared to invest the time you can add additional paths, place wagons in sidings and come up with some...
Yes it is. From memory, search for "Saltire" on CC and it comes up as a 715 Aventra from BDL Houston.
This is something that I should have thought about earlier. Using more than 1 version of each type of rolling stock. For instance, in the images...
Haymarket depot is very hard to actually use in-game. It has been badly configured, with sidings either being given duplicated names (or no names...
Technically Haymarket isn't closed off it is just that the running tracks have been badly labelled (two different lines even having the same name)...
Perhaps I should hurry up and finish this. (It has been sitting around on my PC for some time now). It should be of interest to PC players who are...
I can't say that I have noticed the small conflat container before. In my mod I have only managed to use the big one and the empty flat. I'll...
Hi Dave. It is quite busy now. There are 75 pieces of AI (including the 'statics') in this scenario. :o :cool: These scenarios take a bit of time...
Yes it is. Overall it is a very good mod. :) There are a couple of 'issues' with it. (There are times of the day, and some weather conditions,...
And a very good route it is too :)[ATTACH]
Or you could try driving a very short rake :o :cool:[ATTACH]
What type of extra formations are you looking to see in-game? If you are on PC, and like UK trains, then you might be in luck with an extra...

Decided to do away with the rain in the end (my combination of an early TSW route with the TOD4 lighting mod didn't look so good in the rain). So...

Scenario 4 sees the player driving a CL31 on a DMU replacement service from Darlington to Saltburn. (Screenshots from the first run through with...
Very well thought out :) Perhaps we should speculate on which years out of 1981- 1985 had the best music. You never know we might, eventually,...
Plus the fact that there should have been far more paths opened up in the route for use in scenarios etc. (But, perhaps. someone is working on...
The powercars continue to drive out of the station heading for the sidings. [ATTACH] Back out in to sunlight again. [ATTACH] View across...
Have now added an extra shunt at the end of this scenario which moves the Powercars on to the siding by the turntable at Darlington. Here are...
