Yes there are plenty of modern DB routes for those who like driving Traxx locos or nearly silent red cab cars.
Only if I get my much requested RMB for UK Mark 1 formations.
Derby to Chinley with an all stations service was about 90 mins in the 1963 timetable. We have runs longer than that already, some of the German...
Absolutely this. I think DTG are missing a huge opportunity not making this a transition era route. Throw in a reskinned Peak, the DMU for the...
I agree it can be difficult as, just like movies on Amazon, you get the rose tinted fans who will not offer any criticism even when warranted or...
The game loves me tonight! Just produced a Class 40 hauled passenger run on NTP, Man Vic to Leeds... My Lords!!
It will be exactly the same with Derby on the Peak steam route. Most of the track will be laid but someone in a suit decreed, no time or money in...
Strangely I've been playing more... However just like with Gremlins, there are a few "rules" when dealing with DTG. 1. Always remember this is...
Isn't this set in the EMT era?
Personally I would like to see the route in the classic diesel era when Class 45’s screamed up and down the route with everything from Mark 2...
Still OT, but I did get that old Rally Championship (Magnetic Fields) to work. You have to faff about with CPU affinity settings after starting...
Indeed. Of the announced new routes this is the only one that doesn't have at least one logical end point. Imagine the outcry from the German...
Actually it can also pop up some pleasant surprises. For my second dabble I picked a short run and got the Football Special from Lewes to Brighton...
I used to love that rally game from the late 90s when you got 25 or 30 mile stages across Northumberland, mid Wales or southern Scotland. But the...
Option 1... As it is.
It hasn't bothered them in the past so it's really no excuse. They just rebut or ignore complaints about that sort of thing.
Just under 40 miles by my calculations with the Buxton branch included.
The Cummins engines 158's also sounded slightly different to the Perkins variety. When Canton received the allocation of some former Central...
Thanks for the input so far. Derby definitely seems to be coming out on top.
I also voted Derby. I had to put Manchester as an option but realistically don't expect that. Derby however should be perfectly doable.
I've also put up a poll/petition for the route to be extended. Sorry can't put the link at present as posting from the tablet.
The game hates me. I got the out and back scenario on Dresden to Riesa. 35 mins from Dresden to Coswig calling every shack Dosto cab car, change...
Would be nice if someone from DTG could come on and confirm, though.
Already a fair bit of discussion about this route finishing at Ambergate rather than Derby and to a lesser extent Chinley instead of running...
At least in 1963 it wasn't MaxPax tea!
No but a logical start and end point... Ambergate is basically in the middle of nowhere, looking at the maps it doesn't look as if there was much...
In the real world the driver and fireman generally work as a team. In the sim those roles kind of get combined. However the driver certainly needs...
As I said in the Q&A thread, for all my anticipated love for this route, it's a bit like starting NTP at Stalybridge or BML at Wivelsfield!
Hence my question for a status update! I would love it to be something like the Yamanote Line or Osaka Loop Line from the old Densha De Go games.
May already have been asked... The new UK steam UK route gives cause for great excitement but why on earth does it start at Ambergate and not...
Sweepstake time... NEC NYC to Trenton - February (seems to be confirmed on stream). Niddertalbahn - March or April. Ambergate to Chinley etc. -...
As reported above, it is better but still not perfect by any means. The whole concept of coal and water consumption, fire mass and boiler level -...
Perhaps you should be able to filter the randomness, I.e. exclude certain countries or types of route, or choose from (say) German conte t only.
Playing SoS again last night I have to hope the steam sounds get a bit of love. The safety valve blowing continues to mute just about everything...
A couple of items to consider from the event and reveals, though. No news of what Union Workshop might be working on. And the list of new content,...
It is an intriguing solution to having so many routes, it can sometimes be hard to choose where you want to go. I either work through in...
When I saw the reference to Tramsim in the leaked still from the video, my first thought was that it was a new offshoot product and immediate...
This is why, as much as I want to thrash the 158 and the VP engined HST, I will probably take a more cautious approach to this route than some of...
The two pictures in my Bradford Barton book, which are dated 1967, show flat bottom rail so would imagine the route had a mixture of both. One...
I don't think any of the recent releases have come with a pre-order discount, so can't see that changing sadly. For the "second string" routes...
I was trying to find an old Sectional Appendix last night to ascertain the mileage. If it is only 30 miles from Ambergate to Chinley (plus the...
Or they could be doing the Met. Apart from the performance issues and the wretched approach/speed signalling it's a cracking route in TSC.
I know in MSTS, possibly TSC too, it is possible to have rolling starts and finishes where the train is already moving so maybe that's the plan...
I will need to look in one of my old Bradford Barton books, Diesels In The Landscape, later but fairly certain there's a couple of pictures of...
I know the feeling! Which is why we could do with some projected release dates so I can start adding credit to my Steam wallet. Assuming all the...
With the new content revealed for TSW yesterday evening, I have pretty much forgotten SimRail already.
IMHO there is more than enough modern German content, wretched red Dostos everywhere. I am one of those who wanted to see some more vintage German...
Just to clarify then, Tramsim is not an all new DTG product but an "agency" style adaptation of the existing PC product for consoles, similar to...
The sounds and the physics need to be good. I.e. Not like the Rivet 150 and not ,like some of the hydraulic DMU's in TSC where intermediate steps...
Not so sure about this one. Leicester through to Sheffield via Derby or Nottingham would have been a more appealing and rounded project. Or set...
