My guess is they’ll want to use the stock they’ve developed on other routes, so with the 108 they could go Crewe-Llandudno or...
Another route resurrected - very good, I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it, so thanks very much indeed to all involved! Daft question - I don't...
Nice pic! Way after my time though … 31s in the bay, incredible! In my day it was 25s and 40s. I’m pretty sure it was 1979 or 1980 when I saw...
They “always” had them while I lived there (76-83), but TBH I don’t know when they were introduced either :D
Mk1s were the staple for the Mystery Tours and Daytrippers … they’d be parked up in one of the centre roads at Workington for weeks either side of...
I remember Flying Scotsman (in it’s 4472 guise) coming through Workington around 1980.
Workington without 40s is unthinkable :o
Woodhead would be a really cool addition, and one they’re clearly capable of doing well. Concentrating more on Manchester would also give them...
Suspension was a game changer for me - the 805 is my current favourite because it feels so alive - I’ve no idea how realistic it is, but it’s so...
Shap for the 87 and 86 - they’ll never get boring to me… and Blackpool for the DMUs. I love the slower pace of that line and the vastly different...
I just don’t see how the 387 fits in that compellingly with anything that’s currently on offer. A bit of extra traffic around Cardiff and short...
It would be fantastic to see Birmingham or Crewe becoming the hub for other routes in the same way that Preston and Carlisle are for JT. North...
Well, they’ve certainly got my attention - I love Birmingham-Crewe and the 805 so far - everything says high expectations to me. Caveat being I’m...
I’m probably being overly optimistic (again!), but this could work well on a Cardiff-Westbury route… I know 4O57 (Wentloog - Southampton) is a...
Yup, just did Reading-Paddington - sounds brilliant !
Have to agree - I've just done a couple of runs (165 and HST) and the difference between this and the original route is like night and day. This...
Just bought the TSW6 Standard Edition - not particularly fussed about the NY route but it did allow me to get Riviera at £17.99, so that was...
Can’t say I’m fussed about this new game, but it seems to make commercial sense and I wish all involved the best of luck. I used to love the...
Just had a couple of runs (PC/Steam) - I did the Edinburgh scenario on WCMLS and a random service (1D86 @ 1322 Stafford-Crewe) on Bham-Crewe....
Yeah, it'd be weird not seeing at least one 40 in the Workington stabling point. In my day you could count on 2, occasionally 3, with a couple of...
They were regulars in the "Scottish bay" at Carlisle back in the late 70s-early 80s. Bizarre units altogether. If JT carry on with their...
Absolutely terrible idea to go down the subscription path. If that ever happens I’m out of here.
It would benefit from having the suspension update too. Imagine driving it from Kingmoor down to Workington and riding without any bounce along...
Totally will for me, that’s guaranteed. Are you talking about Thames Board Mills? My dad worked there too… it’s still going - think it’s called...
Absolutely - the audio is way too understated - when we got a couple of 31s hauling rails back East you could hear them right up the hill by the Hall…
There was the daily 6pm TPO that started from Workington bay platform and headed South. I used to see a 40s heading that way, can’t remember what...
I just did it this evening in fact, up here on a family visit. I was surprised at the amount of jointed sections there still are between Carlisle...
Yeah it does look slightly wrong… there was a variant of the Railfreight large logo grey where the logo was 3/4 (ish) body height but that also...
Yup, jointed track pretty much all the way, lovely in a 108! I’m not sure there’d be any point in extending to Sellafield if the plant isn’t...
:D:D:D I used to make the odd trek all the way down to Birmingham for the EMUs. Saltley never disappointed for a massive variety of locos too…...
It was an imposing Dickensian old thing! As I remember it was mostly disused, very dank and creepy (for a kid of my age :D) - what we’d call...
The bay (“Carlisle”) platform was still in use in 1987 and the sidings leading to the docks were still in place, but the old station building had...
Excellent video - good to see that in 1990 the centre roads and shed were still in place at Workington. Nice to see the TPO in the bay too (odd...
I’ve been digging, according to railcar the Kingmoor green set was indeed active in 1986: https://www.railcar.co.uk/images/class-108/vehicles/81...
You mean Kingmoor - Currock was a wagon repair yard that never had a DMU allocation.
Yep, blue & grey … they were repainted from all blue in the late 70s when they were refurbished.
I personally didn’t see it, but then again I did see the occasional 46 out of Gateshead so I’d imagine it was just about possible. We’d...
A “ban” is a bit extreme! :D:D:D
25s and 40s were the mainstay of the local freight scene along with 47/0s from further afield. Double-headed 37s and 31s most days on the Redcar...
Interesting idea - there were a lot of Yorkshire Engine Co "02"-type shunters around the steelworks, yes - the actual BR 02 models and some 0-6-0s...
No 03s - closest you'd see them was Newcastle I'm afraid.
Absolutely FANTASTIC announcement! I for one couldn't be happier, it's like JT are making my entire hit list! Soooooo happy!!!!!
Totally agree... this route looks like a winner to me and my PC!
Anyone having loading issues with this route since the patch? I'm on PC/Steam - tried running a 350/3 service (9W10 Crewe-BNS) and it keeps...
1U32 Crewe-Euston (ok, Stafford!) is an 8-car service... I just drove it, 350125+350267
Just driving 9K16 in a 350/1 (Brum-Crewe) and noticed that the passenger announcement at Galton Bridge says it's calling at Stoke, Alsager etc.......
Me too! Something about that stretch just seems perfect for the Pendolino! I don’t really drive it much on Euston-MK, but I love it on this...
I enjoy the German routes. I’d love to see the Berlin Ringbahn in TSW but I appreciate that the platform won’t cope given that it struggles with...
I don't want TSW7. I want TSW 6.1 with bugs fixed.
Did anyone request a class 56 apart from me? :D:D:D
