That's called Derail Valley!
Percy won't be in the TTTE route expansion unfortunately, he failed to file his tax return.[ATTACH]
This thread is WAY better than any of the Xmas LOVE on TV. Please, keep going. Perhaps for April 1st DTG could add a patch so Thomas and fiends...
C'mon guys, this is a great opportunity to see what REALLY goes on on Sodor once the cameras have stopped rolling? Does Thomas really prime in...
For those of a certain age [ATTACH]
If you do get coal, sell it, it's shockingly expensive these days.
Why does Gordon have a tender behind? Because he's always passing telegraph poles.....
So, apparently the previous preview image of my proposed Thomas series was a little too humpy, so here is a slightly less humpy version. Also,...
All I know about steam train is that coal goes in one and sheet comes out the other. And the neds are broadly better behaved than the diesel...
You do have a point with the tank engine and iirc the 4f and the Jinty shared many common components, wheelbase, boiler dimensions etc, or close...
What the absolute chuff are DTG doing releasing a TTFTE add on? I mean really? You'll be giving an absolute fortune to whoever holds the licence...
HERESY!!!!!! They look amazing though
Plus, I've seen the bogs provided in Peaks and vans and just because they are there doesn't mean you'd actually WANT to use it!
I think I've found a mistake in this too, tried to use the Class 31 to run 6M39 from Shap to Preston and its routed wrong line the entire way, I...
Thats how I felt waiting for B99 to drop on Derail valley, and this tbh. It's going to be ace
Ordering thru just trains just went live, so you can get your Steam code ready for when the PC version drops between 5 + 6
I'll tell you after buying it tonight.
It's keeping me amused between Blackpool Branches and waiting for Carlisle to Preston to drop. Still haven't found a single museum loco yet
I kind of hoped the tap changer on the 87 would be manual, it'd be a bit LOVE if it was automatic
So apparently a patch for TSW5 dropped today improving passenger behaviour. I would like to thank DTG for this as the constant singing of rude...
I can still have dirty dreams about it though
I hope they go as far as to convert the 12ton box vans to air braking, a bit of ABN action would be fantastic
Damn bro, he must have brown eyes by now...
Just wait until you try tying two locos with ploughs together, especially when the vac bag dummy is behind the plough blade. I never liked...
Yes, I agree, it was really clunky and a bit of a bodge. Watching the live stream they were using a mouse control and it seemed to be working...
I thought the stream was excellent last night, they made it interesting and showed off the features etc.
That's civilised, the guy I talked to used to carry broadsheet newspapers and would use the newspaper on the floor, wipe up using squares of the...
The Class 45 had a toilet from new, although whether or not you would want to use it would be a different matter. I did ask how drivers went to...
Yeah, I mean we've got a proper look at the new route AND the next update for Derail Valley drops on the 14th too. Where to go first?
I've had more use out of the Blackpool Route than any other route in TSW, the only problem is its a little short for my liking, this new WCML...
I can just see it, spawn in, sit for 45 minutes to be told the line is flooded so you're being replaced by a bus!
Mine is from a pic I really liked of a 123 and a 124 unit at Paragon in the early 80s, I really like the 124s with the wraparound windows,...
He even went to the trouble of uploading an avatar! I've been here since 2019 and I only cared enough to bother last week!
It was posted on there a few hours ago, DTG are pushing this WCML route quite hard.
I've never actually been through the engine room in a van, I assume there might be some controls we can play with in there, even if its just...
I think DTG missed a trick with not doing the 101, 37, 45, 47 & 40 in green as add ons to their steam routes personally.
Most of these byelaws are more holdovers from the Victorians and their sense of morality, singing was likely to prevent ladies overhearing bawdy...
I think JT are missing a trick here, a mk1 GUV model would be a HUGE addition for TSW5 on parcels trains, they were far more common than mk1 BGs,...
The idea of approach control is one of the older rules these days, going back to the days of semaphore signals and stepping down; only clearing a...
Ok, that's some simple questions with some very complicated answers! As a rule of thumb TPWS and TPWS overspeed loops are only fitted where there...
If that works you for in game, go for it. A lot of TOCs employ a defensive driving policy now where they often creep up to signals at that speed...
Absolutely, and most of these signals are fitted with TPWS now as well (in track circuited areas) which provides a more accurate calculation of...
In a word yes it can, the signal can remain at red until clearing to a yellow, a sub or a divergent route to ensure that the approaching train is...
Master key out in both cabs and train brake valve in shut down, loco brake set to release, handbrakes off, vacuum chambers emptied (if using air),...
I'd settle for arriving at Preston and having a relief loco put on the back, plus with the suitable routes we could do a few drags for fun too!
I like the idea of route hopping between this and Blackpool and doing some long distance stuff. I've just realised where that steeply graded line...
Are the coaches air braked and you're trying to use vacuum might mean you need to pull the strings on the coaches, or are the loco brakes on on...
With all the realism issues on TSW5 I'm not worried about tail lamps on sets, but each to their own.
Clicking the bracket on the back coach of your train on that route usually brings up an option for "Tail Lamp Auto" or similar so you can add or...
I agree entirely, another one to think about is that you don't actually HAVE to buy the route on day 1, you can wait, even if you want to put £1 a...
