I agree that WSR is the likely candidate for the first steam loco. I just hope that we don't then see a procession of preserved steam and...

Sprinters didn't run on the TVL certainly not in 1989. A Pacer/Railbus class 143 would be the most suitable for TVL.

I hope we don't just see preserved loco's on preserved lines or mainline railtours. That will be a completely missed opportunity in my opinion. A...

I would like to see some Sprinters very much but we haven't really got any suitable routes for them at the moment. The upcoming Cornish route by...

I always thought this would be the first Scottish route, seems an obvious choice. Discernible termini at each end and a perfect length for TSW....

You make it sound like writing a new timetable and reskinning the class 52 is a five minute job! The pack is unrealistic enough without adding...

TS1 has separate tracks for yards, often oily and dirty so I cannot see why the same cannot apply to TSW.

I would love to see a network like this, it would be good to see Windsor included. Personally I would rather it featured classes 421, 423 and...

The legends pack is good value if you don't own the other add-ons and even without it adds a complete new timetable, which for many is worth the...

I would recommend it. It has some areas of scenery which need some polishing and fixing but overall it is a decent route with a decent variety of...

Well in TS1 certainly it would be good to zoom in so you are only looking through the forward facing window otherwise things like the back plate...

I have that on my list to purchase at some point, but that is disappointing to read.

I am surprised this route hasn't appeared in a simulator yet. I feel it would be a shame if it didn't go the full length from Newcastle to...

I suspect they drive heads out and think "well that's okay then"! Some steam engines in TS1 are impossible to drive from in the cab as you cannot...

I think a mixture but some might not have the interest or knowledge of certain eras. There might be more knowledge of current operations than BR...

The class 314's were also 3 car units, obviously there might be some 2 x 3 car sets depicted.

Heaton certainly had 153's in the 90's. They may have been used for more rural workings. I know Heaton provides or used to provide units for the...

Many of the steam engines in TS1 are the same. Some more recent ones from other developers have multiple views but some are fixed with a poor view...

I am pretty sure that class 150's never ran on the TVL. As far as I can tell Heaton never had an allocation of them certainly not around the time...

I don't think they were intended to run nose to nose when introduced but were intended to run singularly. Don't forget the view out wasn't much...

I would love a car driving simulator. Not a racing or rally one but a genuine realistic simulator. You could have tasks like being a sales rep in...

I would love to see some slam door stock but if they go to that effort it should have it's own route. I believe ECW was still semaphore signalled...

I think TSW and TS2020 really are what you want them to be. They don't simulate everything exactly I am sure. I have Car Mechanic simulator but...

Well other 3rd party developers seem to be developing stock and routes. I am sure if AP wanted to build a train suitable for a TSW route they...

Okay for some reason I thought it didn't. Although I rarely play offline myself.

If they generally play with steam offline wouldn't that result in zero hours played?

Quite, for me that is one of the biggest anguishes and not widely reported. Some buildings centuries old are being demolished. These are...

Some polls are worded so that the results are skewed so the pollster get the results he or she wants. Those for me are the real problem ones. I...

Very interesting post, thank you. Pedant mode: that is actually a class 122, the class 121 had the former headcode boxe above the middle window...

Let the Speculation begin! So either a new HST or a locomotive of some description, I can't imagine what though, too late really for a class 50...

It is fun to drive that is certain. It isn't the only DMU out there however.

That would fit in this case though (if it is set right at the beginning of the period)!

The class 118's had pretty much moved away by 1990, most had been withdrawn, a handful ended up at Tyseley. Laira then Penzance had a handful of...

I often get conflicts with static consists when they are placed in a siding near to the running line. Sometimes when making a scenario the...

I can't quite see what the issue is here regarding the trains. Sure they are similar but they are running on two different routes, one is using...

Very unlikely. Heritage units were still used on the St Ives branch as late as 1996.

It does take some time to get used to but it is can be very rewarding, I personally find most supplied scenarios are just not very realistic so...

The scenario on my system is full of errors! There is a Taunton to Paddington (HST) service which starts in Taunton station, this has the same...

I think I have that scenario, I will have a look at it.

Yes it was. I have seen a photo of it running as a 3 car set along the Cornish Mainline. Of course, L842 was in Network South East livery.

The centre car is definitely a class 101. Several of these sets had a class 108 vehicle often one of the driving motor vehciles, some were...

I am somewhat excited, I was more excited when I initially thought the route was going to be set pre-1990 but I am still looking forward to it as...

You should have the drivers icon and then for a passenger service the pick up passengers icon which is a blue person, if you have half a dozen...

I wonder if it is because it is only a single unit? Some station stops can be finicky as to where you stop to enable the doors to open. I have...

They would have to work on the model though. Change the headlights, change the coach interiors and most importantly add new sounds.

The 70's or 80's would be a very interesting period for the route in my opinion. Much more varied collection of stock would be possible. I...

That is pretty much what I am doing, at least the scenario editor is far more accomplished and you can set up your own consists.

When the class 165/166 was introduced, the 166 was the "posh" or express version and was to replace the loco hauled stock on the express services...

Yes that is true, the interiors do require a lot of attention as you say compared to previous simulators. There is a surviving class 120 TSLRB on...

I agree in a way, however they could have modelled the route in the 1970's and only needed to model one train assuming they are able to use...
