Really interesting run, thank you. I questioned in my mind whether NTP’s wobbly signalling would be able to handle this, but all of the signal...
- Variation in station dwell times - Variation in running of AI services to create variation in signal checks each time you drive a given service...
Looking at the gradient profile, the question would be how much speed you’d gain by Dinting. You’d need to be going slow enough to make it around...
Thanks Joe. That’s really useful. I’ll give it a go in the spring.
Interesting. I checked beforehand in the timetable and I do indeed have 1Z75 (I don’t have West Somerset, so that’s not required). However, I then...
Well, I’m going to assume that creating big chunks of the West Coast Mainline is unrealistic. On that basis, as we’ve already got Bromsgrove to...
Thank you, this is very helpful. Mostly things which I suspected were wrong but couldn’t say definitively, so it’s good to hear it from someone...
Yes, perhaps so, although I can’t help but wonder how that fits in with Skyhook’s MML project (as they appear to see it). I don’t get any sense...
So it’s confirmed that no current work is planned on BML, but you notice the question about a new route featuring the 700 has not been answered. I...
I agree, and, reading the comments from james64 I do think people have very different experiences of the route (maybe to do with playing on...
You are correct, buffer stops are treated as a red signal so at the last signal taking you into a terminal platform the least restrictive aspect...
There are quite a few which stop at Gorton. I haven’t found any which stop at Fairfield, but I don’t think there are any in real life either. It’s...
Colour light signals can be used exactly as semaphore signals are, in a block signalling arrangement. However, that wouldn’t make the sequence you...
I probably posted my feedback on the wrong thread really. Slightly confusing that we have two threads with virtually identical titles. I'll...
I bought the route as it's a line I know very well. My thoughts so far: Positives - Generally the stations and surrounding scenery are very well...
And before that. It was an issue with the Brighton line on release, and was eventually fixed 2 years later. It’s great that it’s been fixed (with...
It’s also worth mentioning that when driving a freight train when you see a differential speed restriction (two different speeds shown on the same...
I don’t think the lack of dirt, rust and decay is due to a lack of love and care. I think it’s due to the need to keep the operators who allow DTG...
Well, I went hunting through the comments for the video and eventually found someone asking the maximum speed on the line (I knew someone would!)...
The below site indicates 75mph throughout from Fairfield to Dinting Viaduct. It could be wrong of course, but on the routes where I know the PSRs,...
It’s odd that Rose Hill services weren’t included between Man Picc and Hyde North, using the 150. Was there a reason for this, and could they be...
The Rivet railtour is rubbish because it only comes with 5 coaches, which is completely unrealistic and makes it very dull to drive with such a...
I’ve always wondered why they didn’t declare the year as being a few years earlier. That would have taken away the 101/Pacer argument and I doubt...
Yes, if only he’d called the thread “who comes first, gets the cake” we’d have found it no problem. :)
I’ll put you down as a ‘maybe’ then. ;)
I remember there was a run on Cathcart where if you deliberately ran a bit slowly at the start, you missed your path at the junction and got...
Yes, RailDriver works very well with Diesel Railcar Simulator and, as you say, you can configure it however you want. If you haven't seen it...
I’ve written a guide to driving the 101, which includes a section on braking. I’m sure a lot of it will be things you know already, but there may...
Certainly it’s accurate that you need to pass over each TPWS grid below a certain speed to avoid triggering a brake activation. The question is,...
I may have misunderstood the point, but with the HST the delay when applying power feels about right to me. The 158 it feels as if it responds too...
It works pretty well for me too. It is somewhat limited in that there is no ability to choose which button/lever does what - you have to use the...
If you’re on PC and have Peak Forest the below mod will bring Peak Forest’s vegetation to MML:...
That’s an impressive mod. Sadly I don’t have Peak Forest as the steam physics are so poor. If it appears on a decent sale though I’ll buy it just...
Matt also said that sales of Diesel Legends were pretty good. Considering it was a massive compromise, with BR blue diesels running on a modern...
You are correct. I'm not a signalling professional so stand to be corrected on the details, but here is how I understand junction signalling:...
A quick bug report: uninitiated emergency brake application at Mountsorrel on the 1757 HST from Leicester to Derby. Speed was 93mph against line...
I struggle a bit to remember how the signal sequences at each location used to be before the update. So far on the updated version my approaches...
Fellow lovers of signal checks and variety in TSW Timetable Mode may be interested to see Jane's post here:...
That's fantastic news, Jane. It'll really help Skyhook routes stand out. There's a big section of the community who have been crying out for this...
For me so far it has to be a 158 run from Nottingham to Derby. We had a late start from Derby due to an HST departing in front of us, and a...
Thank you, Jane. I really hope this is an end to this discussion here and you can be allowed to get on with your job, and your life, in peace....
Up until now I’ve been firmly of the view that Derby-Sheffield would be the best extension, but reading through the thread and thinking about it,...
Regarding the 20s - occasionally is good enough for me! A summer-dated service in the timetable with a pair of 20s on it would be great. I do...
I think as Bravo2six says, options are the key here. I’m the other way around - I’ve no particular interest in the Pacer, but there’s loads of...
I can definitely say I used to judge the actions of the Drivers - but only in a positive way! The skill they showed with the vacuum brake was just...
