I have purchased the revised IOW with the 484, I had the previous version but wasn't very keen on the class 483 but the route was okay. This...

I wasn't aware he was to be honest, that would explain things then.

Yes it has but the mention of Dadrail had mine and I think maybe others minds racing as he seems to be mainly a driver on the old Southern region....

Look at your post on the 9th of November that might give you an idea!

I hadn't thought of the LT&S, I was more thinking ex Southern region but I suppose Dadrail if he is involved at all will know some of those...

So far I have spent under £2 on some NER/GNR carriages! I am tempted by the Huddersfield route despite the juxtoposition of the eras. I pretty...

I would imagine so, there were class 172's running around in both LM and WMT livery on the Snow Hill lines although they were fairly quick to get...

Oh yes I had forgot about that, I think it is an AC electric route so that rules out anything in the South East apart from HS2 which has been done...

Pass, I just thought of it out of the top of my head (like many of my thoughts) as I know it could be the sort of route Rivit might be interested...

Stourbridge Junction has a station cat which helped it win station of the year so a cat on a station isn't far from reality anyway. I think the...

I would like to see this route with a class 800 (a class 50 and 117 would be even better). The class 170/5 idea is nice (especially if layered...

I don't see the issue. They don't personally interest me particularly, although I do love cats. They provide something interesting to spot when...

Yes I heard the same and wondered about that too. They do go for smaller routes, something like the Marshlink line maybe a possibility.

As a local I would be very pleased to see it. I think an extension to Worcester or Hereford would be great with a DMU included, that end of the...

Having travelled from Stafford to New Street on one when it was fairly new I can think of plenty of things, it was like sitting on a concrete...

I haven't noticed it being that quick, I shall have to look outside the train when I next run a service and see. It is certainly quicker than on...

No problem, they have timetables going back to the mid 1990's so it is a useful resource.

If you read this thread then you are going to think it is awful and unplayable (there are some who want to think that). But the reality is, from...

Yes many of us did and are enjoying it, as I am sure you have seen (and ignored). Yes there are bugs which should be fixed but overall it has been...

I wouldn't say it is light on traffic the Cross City service pre-pandemic when the timetable was set is fairly intensive.

Yes you certainly get a buffetting when a fast train comes through the lower level platforms.

I agree I would like to see them added to make New Street appear busier. Certainly in the mid 2010's they worked Walsall to Wolverhampton as I...

Well no I wasn't expecting something similar to Rivets recreation of the ancient forests of Cornwall but as you say it needs a bit more work....

I would like to see these added too, although I think class 350's largely work these services, certainly from what I have seen when waiting for...

To be honest a LMR steam route without a black five would be like having a GWR route without a Pannier tank or fish without chips. It would be...

Well I am sure if you ask nicely DTG will just make trains and routes you want!

Random bits of wall like that are quite common, it could be the remains of a former building or steam era loading dock or put there to protect the...

The vast majority of comments I have seen have suggested a positive experience so far, and value for money is a personal decision not something...

Yes that and parts of the Redditch branch looking like the aftermath of a wildfire! Apart from that I have enjoyed the overall experience but it...

That happened to me too, I thought it was my imagination or a problem with my set up but clearly not.

I had a fair bit of stuttering particularly just outside Redditch where it "hung" for a few seconds.

I am enjoying the route so far, just ran from Redditch to Aston. Some very nice details and I like the train sounds and the details of the class...

I don't know to be honest, I assume an attempt at levity. Something very much required considering the service you get on the Snow Hill lines!

They certainly are. I had to do a double take the first time I saw them!

You might be right there, but it is depressing none the less.

That is how I feel, and I think the approach to Birmingham will be one of the highlights of the route. I suppose they could have put some 323's on...

Indeed there was a branch line from Old Hill on the Stourbridge line through Halesowen to Longbridge, I think passenger trains ended 100 years...

Personally I would have preferred the route to have been extended to Worcester or Hereford and included a class 170/196 (or whatever it is) but...

I am from the UK, personally I don't think people from overseas should be paying proportionately a great deal more. However I think you might be...

You expected them to model an Avanti Pendolino or Voyager just to sit in New Street or even a Cross Country Voyager to travel the few miles to the...

It matters as much as yours, surely!

I bought Cathcart when it came out and played in once or twice. However since I pre-ordered this route and installed TSW3 and revisited Cathcart I...

I too enjoyed the stream. I thought the input from Daisy was excellent and very interesting and helped bring the route to life.

That is up to you, I had decided I was going to purchase it after reading a couple of articles.

I was impressed with what I saw (I have already pre-ordered). The train and the route had lots of nice details, especially the stations. The...

Well it would be nice if they fix the silent AI trains, it might not be game breaking but is ridiculously immersion breaking which is just as bad...

These are all high density suburban types which were designed for lines like this. Class 116's were the mainstay for many years but as stated...

Probably rarely they weren't the desired type to run the Paddington suburban services. They would have been rare as Tyseley had only a few class...

The class 101's were low density units with generally two passenger doors per vehicle. The class 115/116/117/118's were high density "suburban"...
