You don’t have to read it or post in it if you don’t want to, or act as yet another self appointed forum moderator/DTG spokesman… :)

Slightly off at a tangent, but watching random cab ride videos on You Tube, quite surprised how many European railways have started fencing off...

The fact they have gone very quiet about pretty much everything to me is a bit ominous. If it is TSW5, despite all the squawking most of us will...

Appreciate the support! Despite appearances I quite enjoy TSW and have actually been playing it almost exclusively the last few evenings, either...

Indeed. I like TSC and there are routes and trains the like of which we will probably never see in TSW. But try running the JT Met Line, the NZ...

I quite like Vorarlberg but it didn't quite live up to the scenic promise and yes it is largely another bus service with a near silent EMU.

We do not owe them a living and at £30 a shot for a route DLC, I don't see a need to treat this like a charity where the poor dears will go out of...

Pretty much how I'm seeing it. There's an outside chance if Rivet impress with Fife Circle but more likely a sale item and the Japanese route...

I’d still like to see some old UIC compartment stock in the game along with the original Silberlinge. And fair point about the Vectron. Think...

Absolutely agree, it bangs, rattles, creaks and up at speed has some nice wheel on rail roar. But the 766's sound as if they are floating on top...

Will probably think about it on sale if it's confirmed the 111 hasn't just been aliased to the 110 for physics and sound or even worse the 103...

I think it probably is, but you never can tell around this place! :)

Too long as a complete route, Birmingham to Peterborough possibly but more likely Birmingham to Leicester the extent to which DTG would go. This...

This was a real issue last time. Despite having a fairly fast Broadband connection, it was a day and a half before everything downloaded, verified...

I know how good it can be from Zusi 2! Well if it gets a reasonable discount in the Easter Steam sale I will probably take the plunge again.

Someone definitely suffering from hallucinogenic substance consumption all round, the day they came up with that one!

The fact they never went back in and fixed the missing track at Redhill South, the various stretches without lineside fencing and the farce that...

Must admit PZB 70 confuses me. Can never remember if the top speed is 90 or 100 km/h. And if the upcoming restriction is 60 or 70 km/h why enforce...

Suspect to change the terrain, e.g. to use LiDAR data, would require in this instance a complete rebuild. Which given Rivet still have so many...

Another factor is that the railway operator does not want the two hour plus disruption every other day when someone gets struck by a train and the...

On a related issue with Cathcart, why is it that to complete the Mastery you need to perform a significant rules violation? To complete Tier 2 you...

I really need to start saving the pennies and buy Zusi 3. Got the ancient V2 but rarely fire it up. Think I did buy it on one of the rare times it...

Not tried the demo. Looks interesting but TBH at this point (and 25 years ago I would never have said this) we are in in danger of getting train...

Here in the UK that would probably have 7ft high metal palisade fencing on both sides of the line!

Hard to say so I’m going with No 1 and runner up: UK - Class 31, runner up Class 40. Germany/Europe - DB BR101, runner up G6. North America -...

A bit like going down from Swindon to Gloucester via the Stroud Valley; no jointed track anymore but relatively slow, curved and hilly, beyond...

I don’t personally think that should happen but perhaps they need to widen their horizons. Start talking to operators who are prepared to work...

Heritage diesel maybe, but to hope for anything steam is just going into denial about DTG’s current intentions. No. More. Steam. Period.

Only downside of Zusi is no save game, so if you have to come off before finishing a run then next time you skip to that location. So you don't...

What tends to happen in reality is that you tend to save a run across PC play sessions. So the natural instinct is to go back on next time and...

Funnily enough (is enough), despite my regular contributions to this thread I still find myself back playing TSW. I mean in the Festival of Rail...

Funnily enough just doing a Cathcart run out to Neilston as it generated on Quick Play. Couldn’t agree more, definitely needs a lighting buff. The...

You won’t get Mallard as DTG are not doing any more steam traction in TSW.

Something from the Yugoslavian narrow gauge, which is never going to happen due to all sorts of factors not least the hiatus on steam traction....

Agree 100% with this. The in cab labels and displays could also benefit from some regionalisation to assist.

That map brings back memories of the 2330 overnight from Glasgow to Inverness. Arrive on the main Down platform, all the oil workers would pile...

I have seen footage of Kiha units on the Yangon (formerly Rangoon) circle line around the city. There’s a few video clips on YT which are quite...

Hopefully not. I mean if LIRR had pulled the licence and got stroppy then that would probably have been accompanied by a stipulation to remove the...

This. Even if they can’t be player driven it will add to the busy feeling. I mean the excuse for Glasgow Central on Cathcart or New Street on...

While the lighting in stations is very good, evident once again on lineside buildings in urban areas a simple flat yellow/white texture has been...

I think you could be waiting a long, long time.

This. Comments ranging from, “Turn that bloody train racket down”, through, “You treat that like a job”, to, “Why don’t you grow up”, if she’s...

Same in Swindon. The town bus service is excellent but apart from a couple of main road routes, country buses are another matter. If you want to...

Which gives the vibe the route is some way off release, then. A bit concerning if they have chosen this route and train but are without any...

I noticed that as well, while in 8 view looking for the broken canal section.

TBH even years ago when we visited the USA and Canada we generally used a hire car. Public transport tended to be restricted to the tourist...

Absolutely! Actually if memory serves me correctly a few Mk1 BSO’s did have a micro buffet conversion and became known as BSOT (I think).

I would rather they spend more time on getting the train audio right, TBH.

True, but then again putting out a few reskinned 66’s or wagons is not quite in the same league as having to start from scratch with a steam...

As already noted, not unless DTG themselves fix the core. There’s also the hairy issue that some of the TSC steam specialists tend to sell direct...
