I used to volunteer on the KESR a long time ago. I don't think Mattel had the licence then but whoever it was were very strict about what could...

Happy Birthday

People want it. SoS selling very well tells us this. This is why your opinion is flawed in my opinion. If DTG can put the time in and have the...

Ah look, yet another post where someone is assuming they know what percentage of the player base wants this or that based on their own flawed...

They knew the reaction it would get!

Excited? Not really. I won't buy it because it does not interest me. If it sells well and some of the profits get put back in to developing new...

That was the big reveal! I haven't been on this forum long but it seems this reveal has had the biggest reaction to date!

THIS is exactly why this Thomas add on is being made. I can imagine my nephew pestering me no end to play on this with him.

Some have suggested Thomas will likely be driven like an electric engine so I don't think this marks the return of steam. Will be very happy to be...

I reckon they will target the Japanese market with this quite heavily, they are strangely obsessed with Thomas. They’ve also got the Tadami line...

When the NYMR+Esk Valley is done that could very well be one for the future!

Toddlers have parents who have PCs

I am pretty sure a lot of people will buy it if they market it well. I am also sure Mattel will use their marketing clout to get it out there in...

Now trying to work out what the UHU connection is!

Well I wanted more steam, I guess I've kind of got it haha I imagine this could sell quite well, will certainly open up TSW to a younger audience.

I am excited but also prepared to have to go MEH haha

I’ve said it many times on here that I really enjoy what we have already steam wise. The Jubilee and 8f look so good. I know the driving...

There was a teaser in the last year where someone found the blueprint/drawings for the Eurostar (I think). If it were to come I'd expect it to be...

The term reveal has done a fair bit of heavy lifting it has to be said!

So was the mildmay line but that has been included in the reveals. In case you didn’t know the dev working on the NYMR is now an official 3rd...

I’ve said it on other threads but putting it here just in case! NYMR+Esk Valley officially revealed!!

Who should we be listening to? Someone from DTG or opinion?

WSR Have a Class 14 ;)

If we don't ask we won't get! Those of us who want it (whatever the arguments against, valid or not) will keep on asking, either until DTG do it,...

If they can find a way to improve the physics and started creating a decent range of locos and routes to go with them, I think they could turn...

I don't think thats 'BIG' enough. If it is something like that then DTG will be shooting themselves in the foot. I really think it has to be...

But SOME are, so there is a market for DTG to develop this and create more. If DTG were 100% not interested in Steam or Heritage Lines they...

I am in my 40s, I'd heard of TSW and looked at it a few years ago but all i could see was diesel traction so was not all that interested, did not...

Steam is not popular? Sounds like an opinion more than a fact.

Literal meltdown

The more I think about it the more I think we’ll be getting some sort of iconic route we don’t have yet, something like the settle and Carlisle,...

So far I am fairly content with the reveals because we have a new route in the Mildmay Line, I think that was the minimum expectation for me (even...

They revealed it as a bonus piece on one of the days already.

I am sure I saw a post from a DTG team member telling people to lower their expectations but that may have been in general for the daily reveals...

Please please please.

Even better, extend to Ashford International for route hopping.

See here.

Add North Yorkshire Moors Railway and Esk Valley route to that list which is in development.

They can bury their head in the sand with steam but I know that there’s a competitor coming on the scene within the next year who will eat up some...

That sounds too good to be true but we can dream.

SoS is worth having for the railtours on other routes. I did a railtour timetable run with the jubilee from Carlisle to Preston (approx 1:30...

But they can’t do it right now, so a compromise should be met in my opinion. I may be wrong but I am sensing pushback on this mostly from people...

Well yes I would accept that too, with automatic firing mode as default.

The core they need to fix is the physics, that is the problem, but they could for now bypass that and give us more steam where the experience is...

Thank you. They didn’t explicitly say ‘steam is dead’ though, I’d say that is very much open for third parties if they really want to have a go at...

Which roadmap stream? I’ve had this discussion before where someone has said it was said on this thread or that thread but can never actually back...

Again, which majority? You can’t say majority unless you have data to back that up. People ask for more steam locos regularly on the suggestions page.

Which majority are you talking about?

Whoever takes on steam (it might already be happening), I would be happy (for now) to forget the physics and just have the locos in a state where...

Someone is going to be unhappy regardless ;)
