It's hardly a survey - it's just a tournament for a laugh. The "world cup" format means that some candidates to be the G.O.A.T. are knocked out early.
Thanks to yourself and all the others commenting. The TSWWC is purely for fun over the winter period - the one time we get no new releases - and...
Ladies and Gentlemen it is all over for the 2025/26 edition of the TSW World Cup. 3rd Place - WCML South A dramatic improvement on last year from...
Compared to WCMLOS particularly WCMLS had a relatively generous run to the final. Riviera may have had it easier, arguably, bit as seems to be...

Well, we're here. It's been a fantastic edition of the TSW World Cup this year with a few shocks, a number of dark horses and a number of really...
That is precisely what Island Line 2022 was, but it was by the same developer. It was not a remaster akin to GWE or SEHS; it's a separate DLC and...
Fundamentally WCL won't be much different in the modern era, with the 150 still a primary train most likely. If would just benefit vastly from the...
I feel like WCML South and Birmingham - Crewe could end up performing even better in the future once WCML Trent Valley joins them, being part of...

Welcome to the penultimate round of the TSW World Cup, six routes remain and three can progress to the final. Four of our routes come from the UK...
I might suggest that a lot of the support for Morristown is just a 'US vs UK' type of voting as is typical at this stage of the tournament....
A remastered HRR would be my top pick, especially to compliment the new route from Duisburg. It's a very quiet route with only the 422, 425 and...
Quarter Finals Time! https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsw-world-cup-2026-quarter-finals.95926/
Quarter Finals Hello all, welcome to the rounds which have a name. 12 routes remain - six will continue. No group stages from here on out - it's...
I decided to hold fire so that the QF runs through Christmas, so it'll go live today, sometime soon.
By the looks of a quick Google search if could be more interesting than it would seem. There's a half-hourly, full-length Regional Run using...
Round Three Results Well it's all over in the Third Round and the heat is on now. Let's take a look at the results: UK 29 - Southeastern HS 33 -...
On the first point - I know, but the reason I don't really care about that is because if the '...' isn't there then they just wouldn't vote in...
As TrackingTrains said it's just for separation so it's easier to see where one vote starts and the other ends.
In my case getting a proper PC setup is a goal, but I don't and, for the entirety of TSW's lifecycle I haven't had one nor the chance to get one...
An apology folks, that's my bad. I've posted a thread for that particular tie...
Apologies here folks I made another error with the listing in the original poll, was in a bit of a rush and just didn't pay attention. This thread...
Well, having skipped a round, I feel that North America at least deserves a dedicated thread. It's the least I could do. Anyway, let's look at...

Anyways, the Second Round is over and it's time for the Third. America rejoins the party, but first let's look at round two's results. UK...
That could be an interesting idea, yes. Especially with how many loco DLCs we've seen recently a mini-tournament for them could be cool.
Yes, it's the original (excluding the BCC one as that's a different livery), but I believe the MAC version is upgraded and thus would typically be...
I'm pretty sure there is some truth to that. AAS was formed by some ex-ATS devs and, from my understanding, it wasn't the best breakup. It might...
That's because Rivet's earlier content was awful. The 204 [?] was a mediocre DLC at best, Isle of Wight, Arosa Linie, the 1938 TS, West Cornwall...
The blanks aren't intended as a "no preference", they're just there for the sake of breaking up the list and providing a way to waste a vote if...
Indeed. I think Bremen's quite varied (for an A-B route) timetable with such a wide selection of rolling stock (and various different types) does...
I have a feeling that may be the plan. LNWR's Birmingham - London and Northampton (obviously) services all use the loop, none going towards Trent...
Using the 'just side with the Devs blindly' card is effective, but only if you aren't actively playing the 'blindly side against the devs' move.
About a quarter of the way there, practically every tie has a run-away winner at the minute except Niddertalbahn v Zwolle - Groningen, with only a...
I'm surprised that Fife is doing as well as it is. I suppose if this was done post-GWE remaster or pre-158 timetable that would be a very...

The final result comes in the same, so it's a coin-toss, which leaves Midland Mainline to go through. Two coin-tosses in one tournament is mental,...

Probably, but I think it's would be quite boring as it would inevitably be that the two most popular routes do well, whereas with these rules it's...
Quantity of stations and urban scenery. WCML TV has 9 stations, which is much less than NEC Stamford, and is in a much less urban environment....
Define scam, please.
Tough pick for the US route but I think Morristown just about does it for me ;)
5/48 hours in and the votes are flooding in so, thank you folks. In the UK ties, Brighton Mainline is thrashing Peak Forest 26-5 at the minute. I...
Yeah, lost it on Yellow/Red Cards. Silly booking from the Flying Scotsman really, just had no need to hold the 378 at a red signal like he did.
