I haven't touched off the rails and I don't ever intend to. Some people are more than casual gamers, some have very specific periods of interest...
Maybe more bursts of nostalgia on these forums would have lead to a different outcome for this pack!
The HST was introduced on the Western region in 1976 or 1977 so at the very end of the Westerns, certainly the majority of the Westerns in the...
A class 47 and 50 in large logo blue would not be accurate to run with the Western. They would fit in with the class 101 which is in it's 1980's...
I own the loco's and would have found it worth it if it was more realistic. I have no problem with the price as it would add so many extra...
Ah okay, I had read the class 465 wasn't quite right wasn't sure to what extent. I have several working timetables for the Paddington to Reading...
Yes I think large logo blue came out around 1981, mainly for the class 50's and 56's at first. Certainly by 1986 a large amount of class 47/4's...
I hadn't realised, I will edit the post.
I know, I have said exactly the same thing. If this was a modern day pack these mistakes would not have been made. I would have gladly helped and...
I was more torn than I thought I would be, especially when I saw there were three car class 101's as the screenshot I saw just showed two car...
So now we know what the 1970's pack consists of, which is a post 1974 class 08, a class 101 in the guise they were running from Reading in...
I got the feeling from last nights stream that Matt seemed to accept the 117 was the correct DMU and that maybe the 101 was inaccurate after all....
Yes that's correct. I don't know if some of the Western got air brakes but even fi so, the majority were vacuum only. They should have chosen a...
I personally don't find the price a problem. I imagine making the timetable in the first place wasn't a five minute job and for those who purchase...
Of course as all 74 Westerns are included that would date the pack as pre 1973 as that is when they started to withdrawn them which means the rest...
Here is some information regarding the odd blue and grey class 101 sets for anyone not yet bored of the vagaries of first generation DMU liveries...
For a modern NTP you would have to add AWS/TPWS. Also if they can't make a new train for this pack (a class 117) then they couldn't make a modern...
Would they bother doing this for modern content. It seems to me to be a way of getting some interest out of older period content without making...
Well that is fine, I don't doubt the explanation, it is just disappointing for me as a irksome purist! I will wait for five years till the next BR...
In the late 1960's Reading depot had three centre cars to replace Hawksworth coaches used to strengthen the class 117 sets, that is three centre...
Many of us are purists interested in different eras. The point is they wouldn't put a class 465 on ECW or a class 313 on SEHS as there would be...
I don't think you should be calling people dummies to be honest. It is up to people how they spend their money and if they get pleasure out of it...
The class 45 would have been an extremely unusual visitor to Paddington. I think it happened once or twice. Also the loco's on NTP are the wrong...
Having watched the stream I do think this sort of pack could work. I soon started to not see the catenary and the Western looks and sounds good...
I did mention sounds, but yes it would need some exterior and interior modifications.
They would have been better making it a 1980's pack. The 101 is in its late 80's state, the set numbers on the unit on the stream didn't exist...
A handful of the western region class 101's were painted blue/grey to work some cross country services alongside the cross country sets. However...
Is it Hough Green? BTW when you see screenshots like that you realise that TS1 can rival TSW in the graphics stakes.
I would like to see this, there are some interesting places on this route and mechanical signalling still I believe. A modern period would be okay...
Lol I wasn't sure if anyone had noticed! Well I saw the good things which resulted in changes made to SEHS after people complained so I thought...
I think that would surpass any surprises in the history of DTG. If they do, all over rail blue please!
That is my thinking but, the glaring error which will still stand, is that the class 101 is in blue/grey livery which at the time the Westerns...
It seems odd how having an icon like the HST in the pack is wrong when they did just about work alongside the Westerns, yet have a DMU in the...
I would love to see this come to light. The Moretonhampstead and Teign Valley branches would be perfect for it.
It sounds good especially until I replace my creaky old hard drive. I have had some scenarios take up to 15 minutes to load certainly over five...
Oh okay lol, it will be interesting to travel on it when it finally opens.
TVL is the sort of route where a TS1 style freeroam scenario would be useful.
I have to agree that did seem a little tasteless
Oof, that isn't exactly subtle is it? They are quite hideous in fact.
That might not be such a bad thing I guess if they aren't used as much which I believe is the case, plus it is more exciting when you do spot one...
I was thinking you meant the "proper" Great Western Railway not this young pretender! I had visions of Castles, Kings, Manors, Halls, Prairies,...
NTP and TVL with all the add-ons are the main reasons I come back to TSW at the moment along with the SEHS. I think TVL feels very complete with...
Sounds like they have made a good job of this add-on, will be purchasing it tonight.
Yes I shall watch whilst hiding behind the sofa!
Well yes I know, but it would be more believable if the liveries of the stock included matched the era it is supposed to be representing! If it...
They do something really well on one hand then do something which is baffling on the other. There is no consistency, one one hand they take...
Neither were blue and grey class 101's, or class 101's in general in the Paddington area so surely it doesn't matter? If it is set in the early...
Well authenticity doesn't seem to be a barrier to this pack so I wouldn't worry about it. The class 40's would not have been seen between Reading...
Is it Heysham?
Exeter to Kingswear (and maybe to Plymouth) in the 1950's, would be awesome to see a Grange attach itself to the front of a Castle at Newton Abbot...
