Yes there was a period in the late 70's when Bristol to Portsmouth services were worked by an eclectic mix of Southern Thumper units and various...
It looks that way, though the extent TBC in particular if they are doing any sleeping cars.
RRO would benefit from the track gradients smoothing and some signalling issues sorted, the one that stops a G6 scenario being completed for...
Oh I agree, as a route builder myself in other sims, you have to stop somewhere. But route hopping frankly IMHO is a bit of a gimmick and an...
While in general I’m eagerly awaiting TSW5 and have preordered the Deluxe edition, there are a few issues that seem to have escaped. The first...
Hard to say. Pure driving simulation was either the SIAM games (though they focused more on their very expensive traffic simulations) or Paul...
After another run with the 801 on ECML, this time in daylight, definitely feel the bounce is a tad overdone. Nodding away like a Class 142 when in...
Another thought, as DTG are pondering further network style routes if Cardiff City proves popular, why not recreate the South London Network from...
Thanks for that. According to Wikipedia the last scheduled use of a Class 40 on loco hauled passenger service was in early 1985. After that just...
Think I will take a bit of historical licence to thrash a 40 over Shap! They certainly turned out on seasonal relief trains from Scotland to...
Still eagerly awaited, just a shame they seem to be struggling with it.
I would raise a cautious “yes” to the OP but with a few caveats. Sharing views already expressed, south east and central have their share, so...
There are two reasons why pushing on to Rugby would have been nice. First off that iconic stretch where the railway, Grand Union Canal and M1...
And what’s the chances of ever seeing Taurus Mountains in TSW? To my delight came up on my randomiser yesterday evening so now starting the slog...
And then deal with the unsolicited brake applications, because the BSI couplers and electrical boxes on the 153's tended to be a bit droopy...
DTG are being strangely quiet about the save game going forward into TSW5, the one blemish on an otherwise good looking package. Even a direct...
I think Matt stated earlier the focus is to have a diesel operated suburban network, rather than the electric bus services we have seen up to now.
If the focus is the Valleys, then they will not make a 175 just for main line AI at Cardiff Central.
Well TBH if we ever got West Highland I would much rather it was set in the pre 1988 loco hauled era and preferably before 1983 when Sulzer Type...
A 153 also has massive reuse potential across the UK network. Love them or hate them IRL, they kept a lot of the rural and branch lines going and...
That’s a great deal, then. TSW3 was getting a bit buggy, London Commuter almost every run immediately derailing even with the train stationary.
Certain things could be more professional. For example, I ran the In Threes scenario on ECML the other evening. One of the three incidents was a...
Just watched the first part of the Direct presentation while on the exercise bike. One thing that confused me and maybe I misheard or the bike...
Well if they are creating a 153 from scratch, apart from vehicle weights the engine and transmission are identical to the 150/2 so hopefully that...
Also the possibility they will just drop the 47 on secondary services such as Scotland to South West and South Coast and freight. Though at the...
In the early 80’s it was not uncommon to see an 87 and Mark 3 stock on the second Cobbler loco hauled service they introduced 0720 ex Northampton...
She already plays Hay Day, SimCity Build It and Clash Of Clans on the iPad so yes an Apple voucher bribe could be the way to go…
:D:D:cool::D
Especially since the 142 already exists. Just need to bung JT a tenner (!) and reskin into Valley Lines colours.
As the GWE remaster is complementary though, not one that needs to be budgeted for. Welcome any time!
Oh I think it’s going to be great, regardless of the modern era. As mentioned previously IMHO Goblin would have been better combined with the NLL...
With potentially five or six routes needing several discreet visits to Sainsbury’s to buy Steam gift cards to feed my wallet, some indication...
Addressing the physics would also sort out the sounds which were, apparently, sourced from AP but just got horribly mixed in Simugraph. The 158 is...
The one advantage of DTG insisting all DLC content for TSW goes through them. Though doesn’t necessarily follow on as regards QA. Just look at...
I wonder if the reason for setting Goblin in the ultra modern era was because they knew the 710 would layer in on the forthcoming WCML South?...
We already have tap changer locos in TSW with the DB 110 and 103, so the process is very similar. At low speed you tap up a notch or two at a time...
Quick thought on the use of the Class 101 DMU. We don’t know the exact year this is set, but by 1989 Newton Heath actually had a fair number...
It has to be said one thing (well two actually), that will keep TSC installed for the forseeable future are: 1. Steam traction. Going nowhere in...
I think my heart would sink if it was the APT. never really saw much service, mainly just test runs. I managed to get on one in early 1980...
If they are reusing the 150/2, which admittedly has a very good model and artwork, they need to rebuild the physics and sounds from the ground up....
Yes Crewe to Manchester with 304's on the stoppers and 86's and the occasional 87 on InterCity services a far more appealing prospect than another...
The choice of Cajon certainly puzzled me. I mean yes, technically the 390 and Jolly Green Vectron train set amount to £28 if purchased separately...
Not sure about a 56 vs. a Class 86. As much as I would like to see the 56 in game it would have minimal use on the WCML and the Class 86 far more...
Re the 377, pondering whether they will provide a different sound set for running on AC? And back OT for the 390, let’s hope we don’t have the...
That’s true enough. And despite the general positivity around TSW5 including from myself (!) one question that has so far not been answered...
I think it’s going to boil down to how desperate you are for the layers as to whether you want to keep an old route lying around otherwise...
