I think I’ll give this one a try. Usually, I’m not too keen on light rail but the different driving experience intrigues me.
This. I'd love to shunt in the docks around Ditton in a Jinty (or similar).
All the best to you, Sam! I pretty much came on board when you were at the helm of the community team and your work was and always has been...
Agreed. I’ve traveled on the Brighton mainline a lot the last couple of months. BML is a masterpiece, no doubt about it, but when I go the entire...
From JD: The 700 will not layer onto BML.
Very disheartened that the 700 isn’t coming to BML. Guess the lacklustre scenario planner will have to suffice.
Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch! :)
Some fantastic pictures and documents in there. Thank you very much for sharing! Besides the VT98 we’re talking about, it reminded me how much I’d...
That’s amazing to hear! Obviously, not getting my hopes up since it’s an unlikely eventuality for now, but that would be an amazing addition to TSW.
Do you (or anyone else) have more information on how exactly they stop trains in the US? I get the bailing-off to stretch the train, but at what...
Yep. For anybody interested: In my diesel freight driver experience on the Nene Valley Railway, I was told to let the amps on a Class 45 drop...
Don’t know when or if they ran there, but I’d sure love to get one.
Next main signal should work. Time to beat the dead horse again: It’s EBuLa that tells you when you can speed up again (or route knowledge). The...
Same here. Played quite a bit of Niddertalbahn already and haven’t experienced this once (PS5).
Depends on how you look at it and what your preferences are. You can absolutely see the LODs change a lot in close proximity to the player to get...
I’ve only been on 158s four times and that was in the span of just two days. Still, I found them quite distinctive sound-wise. I’m not really...
Same here (PS5). The engines are always running and I can't turn them off either. Not a massive problem, but still - I like doing cold starts.
Don’t know how many people found this before me, but you can sit on a tree branch at Lindheim on Niddertalbahn. Lovely touch, that :) [ATTACH]
And, a long time ago at this point, Maik said that the experience of developing the G6 made him realise the difficulties of releasing new loco...
Oh, I remember that on their Tehachapi Pass II route set in the 90s. Caught me out quite often as I didn’t know much about US railroads back then.
I think that is true to life. I remember reading in a German forum that what 628 lacked in acceleration, they made up for in braking power with...
Hats off. Don’t have much more to say. The atmosphere is incredible (largely thanks to the phenomenal scenery) and both the 628 and 365 feel good....
Yes, and Brighton would feel just as wrong without the 313s as without the 700s.
It’s just a bit of tongue in cheek fun. I just find it amusing that a company with that tag line has all these arbitrary restrictions all over the...
Play has no limits.* *except for our arbitrary ones
BML needs the 700. I'd be fine with the 8-car version instead of the usual 12-car if that's the only way we're getting the 700 on it.
89 seconds for me on PS5 with roughly 130-140 GB worth of DLC installed.
Shouldn't it be the train number (sorry, could only find German sources on it)? Essentially, every service in Germany has a distinct 'train...
While that would be nice, I think a Br 140 is the way to go. Not only was it still ubiquitous all over Germany, but it also often worked local...
R is the correct setting.
That wholly depends on your interests. From my perspective, yes, it’s absolutely worth it - beautiful setting and vintage electrics. Then again,...
Are those pictures from original Br 103 manuals by any chance? I’m considering buying some old manuals specifically to get into more prototypical...
While I agree with your overall sentiment, I would like to highlight that Lukas said most of the people working on Niddertalbahn are not...
Seriously. Like never before.
What a stream that was yesterday! I was completely blown away by the scenery! Hats off to everyone involved. Here you go. It’s really the same as...
I have to admit, same here. It’s so amazing for me to finally get some vintage stuff with TSW’s visual quality (something Zusi just can’t compete...
Those screenshots are absolutely gorgeous! Very much looking forward to this! :)
My first impressions are quite positive. Didn’t have a lot of time today but finally getting a vintage route with a 103 on top is amazing. The...
For me at least, it’s sorely missing from BML. Thameslink is everywhere on that route (pardon the hyperbole). Three Bridges is a major depot for...
What model of Indusi (phonetically roughly IN-DEW-SEA) is featured on the Br 365? I assume it's I 60, but it would be great to have confirmation.
Small correction here: keyboard only. I’ve had the AP counter hidden on PS5 for a long time now and it makes everything so much better.
What does the n-Wagen KaKo have to do with the IC/IR cab cars?
It’s a moot point to my mind. Given that BML released with these layers, they’re not going to be taken away again. Too much danger of upsetting...
I was surprised to read about that as well. The only source given was the Wikipedia article, in which no proper source is referenced. So, no idea...
Did a quick bit of research on that. Obviously, SHINO BAZ, a 103 on freight is incredibly more rare than the already rare occasions in which 110s...
Oh yeah. Getting the 103 has long been a dream of mine. I even posted a suggestion for it a long time ago - something which I rarely do and only...
I was considering that as well. All of the talk about having to build up a library of older rolling stock before going further back, as was done...
700s run all the way to Brighton.
Probably I 60 if I had to guess since I doubt they were in a hurry to retrofit V60s with I 60R. Later on, they would have got I 60M.
Is the driver’s brake handle in the ‘off’ position? Otherwise you can’t remove the key.
