There’s definitely more than one which is set to an incorrect speed - and to be honest, one is enough in any case. Isolating the TPWS doesn’t...
Has anyone managed to find the rocker switch to temporarily isolate the TPWS on the Midland Mainline HST? I can’t see it anywhere. Probably...
If you isolate the TPWS (there's a separate thread explaining how to do this) then it's playable. You have to overlook various issues, explained...
Buy BCC and give it a go with a 101 using this mod, Vern:...
My advice to Jane and to others doing her incredibly difficult job is to ignore people who are rude to you, and respond only to those who are...
Perfect, thanks William - I hadn’t discovered that!
Hi Jane It looks as is if some trains don’t have a scheduled time shown for their arrival at Derby. An example is 2A39 14:19 Newark Castle -...
Good things: - I think the scenery on the route generally gives a realistic feel, even if there are areas which others have indicated aren't...
I'm having TPWS activations on every journey at speeds/locations at which they should not occur. Today's two: 1. Tripped by the TPWS at the...
Is it possible to isolate the TPWS on the 158 without isolating the AWS (as it is on the 323). I can't see it, but may be missing it. Thanks.
Great to see the level of effort put into making this unit realistic from an operational point of view, and the focus on identifying any glitches...
That’s a good point, Brickmaster. They are members of the Hitatchi AT300 family of trains, and so is the Javelin (Class 395) train on South...
Also, on your picture from the top of The Shard, there is an Electrostar. These are available on TSW3. So if you buy the South Eastern High Speed...
Assuming it comes with an an appropriate route set in the era in which these trains operated in normal passenger service, then yes. I’ve no...
There is no fixed speed in the UK. You must proceed at a speed which will allow you to stop short of any obstruction. So (e.g) if you’re on a...
I have to admit that although the clickety-clack of jointed track is iconic, continuously welded rail is vastly superior in practical terms. As...
Thanks Joe, I appreciate the response. I’ll give those on SouthEastern and London - Brighton a try. Modern freight timetables for the UK are...
Yes, I should have clarified that I was talking about UK routes. I don’t know about practice abroad. I’m confident that the nature of the German...
Agreed, if that’s the case it’s very annoying. The SoS Jubilee has a realistic formation, suitable for a railtour. The Rivet version has a 5-coach...
As Matt says, in the UK timings are to the nearest 30 seconds. A few points I would add on the subject of timetables: - I agree on their...
I’m not a P-Way expert, but as far as I’m aware with bullhead rail you always need the wedge. It’s what holds the rail firmly in the chair. The...
It’s an interesting discussion. Looking at the images, if I pick almost any criterion, the TSC version looks better - yet I prefer the overall...
Thanks, corrected. I appear to have inadvertently triggered a JT v Skyhook debate, morphing into TSC v TSW. Apologies…
Based on the stream, my impression is positive. There’ll always be details which are good or bad, but the overall feel of the route, in my view,...
Most of the above, to be honest! They were versatile locos, used on passenger and freight work. They were fairly restricted geographically, to...
But what can a Jubilee + 10 achieve up that bank in real life? Surely that’s the question, not what it could achieve in TSW2. I completely agree...
It’s thirty quid for route and trains. If you want everything to be perfect to that level of detail, you’d need to pay a hundred times that - but...
I’m not a fan of the concept of things having to be unlocked as I’d much rather dive straight into Timetable Mode and learn as I go then have to...
This is the key to the issue, for me. I actually don’t find the Jubilee loses boiler pressure too quickly. You have to drive it in a weird way...
Agreed. Personally I’d have preferred Sheffield, for the longer run, but I recognise opinion would be split - and that would have been quite a few...
That’s my fear. I’ve no interest in the 222, so it would be really annoying if we didn’t get the HSTs on Sheffield services in order to leave a...
I agree having Nottingham is good, but for 75% of the way Leicester - Nottingham and Leicester - Derby are the same route - they’re not side by...
I really hope so, as they often had HSTs deputising on them. I have a feeling they’re going to be left out, but hopefully I’m wrong.
Yes, I think the proportion of trains in the timetable they are able to include will be higher than any route for some time. I’m assuming all...
Just out of interest, what bugs is Cross City plagued with? I play it a lot and never come across any. I noticed a few minor ones at the start,...
I’m in two minds whether this is a ‘day one’ purchase for me or not. Although the era is more recent than usually interests me, the HST and 158...
Agreed. Sadly they’ve spoilt this particular add-on by giving it an unrealistic 5-coach load, so I haven’t bought it, but the principle of add-ons...
That's the problem with giving just 5 coaches to a powerful steam locomotive designed to haul 10-12 coaches.
I know it’s a railtour. Railtours don’t run with 5 coaches for the reasons Redbus explains. Actually, if it was set in the days when steam was...
Jasper, can you tell us why the train only has 5 coaches, please? Many of us aren’t buying it for that reason. Any chance of changing it to...
The other thing I’d say is that the ride quality on a 158 is about the best I’ve ever experienced on a DMU. You can better it on hauled stock -...
The 5 coach rake shown in the pictures in the roadmap completely puts me off - I won’t be buying it if that’s how it’s released. Rail tours run...
I remember before the scrubber blocks were fitted, in autumn they used to run hybrid 158s and 156s - half of a 158 paired with half of a 156 - so...
The lack of manuals never really bothers me as I wouldn’t read them anyway. If there’s anything I can’t work out for myself, I just google it. I...
1. Class 101. Tricky to learn to drive but extremely satisfying once you get the hang of it. I love the fact that you can make infinite tiny...
According to the video description this is a 159/1 - which is a 158 converted to a 159. The conversion did not include uprating of the prime mover...
The 101 and 31 are both great. This mod allows you to use the 31 on passenger services on NTP. They used to substitute for 45s/47s occasionally in...
The problem is, polls can be really useful in certain contexts, but when they’re activated some of the polls posted just seem to achieve nothing...
Like most others, I'd love to see it go to Manchester, but that's not going to happen. An extension to Derby to allow the fast trains to be driven...
Absolutely superb! I've just completed a run from Redditch to Litchfield TV. Just about managed to keep time, but really had to work it hard and...
