It was indeed
In the mid 60's steam engines were being run down and the majority had gone to the scrapyard, many never cleaned, many devoid of nameplates and...
The S&D was the opening route for Rail Simulator with two engines, mark 1's (predictably) and a decent variety of wagons so I would say it is a...
Nice idea. I will have to try this. I have walked the IOW but never with a longer route. Will have to decide what music to do it too.
Aston Villa
True but it does exist in a way as the Talyllyn railway, which the Skarloey railway was inspired by. It would also be a very beautiful route in...
I think anyone who seriously thinks that DTG are going to make a AI Pendolino and class 350 etc, just for a few miles of the WCML, modelled as it...
Thanks for that Vern. I regularly use Railcar UK but have missed this. That's very interesting to read about, shame a couple never got returned at...
That's interesting, was it an ex BR one or did Swindon build them for overseas?
It should have one as it has a DMCL vehicle. Although I think the seats had a different colour covering prior to refurbishment so that would need...
I think it is in refurbished form. Any of the diesels including the 101 will need the headcode box/panel reinstated, not sure how big or small a...
I would like to see a class 143 in Provincial livery for TVL and it replace most of the class 101 formations as they would have been far more...
There are still people using MSTS and that is over 20 years old now so there are some that will always keep the sim going, well for many years...
Thanks, I will look forward to that with interest as I am struggling with the German trains.
Indeed, it also doesn't include branch lines and rural secondary/cross country lines. I definately do want to see more elecrostars though I am...
I must tell my boss that as a UK company we should only trade with UK companies, the fact that we would only have had one order in the last three...
Very exciting. This next week will be the slowest ever no doubt! If I was a betting man my money would be on a Riviera Exeter to Kingswear route.
I would love to see that, can't see a reason why that wouldn't be possible. You could have cleaner/fire lighter mode where you arrive at 5am in...
Yes more features are needed to add life to the routes which is something TS1 often does better than TSW, some TSW routes feel very dead. I...
Hopefully DTG might have access to some steam period working timetables. I would love to see some animated animals but not sure we will get to...
Lol I am sure no-one would think otherwise! I am sure iconic steam locomotives like that will make it into the sim sooner rather than later.
A pick up goods could be such an immersive experience, especially if they get the sounds of old unfitted wagons spot on with the clunking,...
They have made or at least published some non British routes. There was the Three Country Corner route for example so it might not just British...
A bit over the top there I feel! I don't feel treated like a fool.
According to the 1957 passenger working timetable I have most passenger trains over the route were electric hauled or EMU's at the Manchester end....
That is something I would love to see in TSW.
They were the new BR standard carriage built for mainline use, bare in mind BR still continued building pre-nationalisation carriages into the...
Depending on the route mark 1's might not be suitable. They were the front line express carriage when introducted and caused the cascading of many...
Ah sorry, I misunderstood.
The service was run down by the 60's, most expresses including the famout Pines Express got diverted. As far as I know they didn't split any...
I have some photos taken by my parents of them in 1978 painted BR blue, we were on holiday at Devils Bridge. I don't think it looked to bad on...
I certainly hope so too.
I can understand that and I know the sim is never going to be 100% accurate but that was a fudge too far and stopped me purchasing the route. I...
They would need some fairly small tweaks to make them suitable for the period, even in their green livery. The 09 might be okay unaltered....
That is such a beautiful loco. It would be great to see Caledonian works make loco's for TSW, as this is the sort of loco they specilise in, the...
I think (assume) it is just the actual pack not anything which might follow. I would imagine if set in 1965 then they wouldn't rule out diesels...
The Falmouth branch would be a good route to start off with as there are plenty of freight possibilities with the docks. It has some quite steep...
Meshtools were making a Stanier 4mt, it got as far as getting a DTG article published, but it never appeared. Caledonian works have a couple of...
I had forgotten about the V1/V3, I am hoping for one in TS1 eventually. The J72 were the tank engine version, it would be a nice package with...
Yes I agree, I don't mind the layout, it seems quite logical to me. I was just sceptical as I (mis)read that there wouldn't be any mentions of...
With TSW's ability to have working mineral loaders, something like that would be very interesting. I wonder what engines ran the passenger trains...
Either for me would be great, but likewise I would plump for the Riviera in the 50's, it is still one of my favourite TS1 routes. I love...
Yes I was thinking Bath to Templecombe was strong possibility. The S & D is certainly on the list of legendary British rail routes and is still...
Ah okay, I didn't know that. I had a suspicion it would be a Stanier 5mt and something vaguely mainline with some mark 1's and wagons, a bit like...
I am sure it was intimated it would be a more historic route. I will certainly be disappointed if it is a preserved route, whilst I love them in...
I would definately like to see one of these in TSW
Yes I would like to know too as I was very much looking forward to it. Maybe it will appear again on the next roadmap as yesterdays seems to be a...
Unbelievable and frankly nonsense, there are plenty of British add-ons, the first steam add-on will be British! As a Brit I would love to see a...
Because it is a UK route in production. And he said it might be released before Harlem not definately.
Well it works perfectly well in TS1 whether you do both duties or have automatic fireman switched on, as it did with MSTS, so I can't see why it...
