Well I don't know, I don't think they will see getting a DMU as accurate as possible as being important, as far as many people are concerned one...
Well I don't think they recognise that it is an error, that was the impression I got yesterday on the stream! And if they do realise so in...
Well that has garnered some results in the past including changes to SEHS so maybe that is what we should do more of, something I never thought I...
This is the problem though, I love the concept, well I have come to love the concept and anything 1970's is a no brainer for me but they have made...
Me too
Not in the 70's and if they did appear between Reading and Paddington it would have been rare, probably a failure or a special service, they were...
At least with NTP and TVL the route is correct for the stock and quite frankly I would recommend those two routes over this as they offer a more...
Yes around 1994/95 L835/L840 and L841 they were transferred away to Manchester and apart from L835 stayed in NSE livery. L842 ended up at Laira...
Yes good idea, I will do so too. :)
Even that isn't accurate, what about buffet vehicles, do they think passengers from Penzance and Swansea didn't have catering facilities. What...
Well they have one in TS1 and there are drawings and diagrams on the Railcar Association site so if they can make a class 313/314 from scratch I...
I think the 70's pack is a compromise to give a flavour of the 70's without having to create a new route. An idea which despite some reservations...
Yes that is the one I was quoting from.
Most of the posts are constructive I would say on this thread, I know we get the angry bashing posts sometimes but I haven't seen many on this...
Why isn't it aimed at us, who says, I don't remember reading that in the article? I want to see as much 70's content as possible, therefore this...
And another point. The class 101 wasn't designed for routes like Paddington to Reading. It was a low density DMU so would have been used for cross...
A new loco might have sweetened things a little but for me the new stock should have been the class 117. If they have provided a new loco and at...
I will likely get it, personally I prefer the class 314 over the later units but that is just my preference. I would have preferred a class 303...
Unfortunately it has often been this way with DMU's. The class 101 is one of my favourite trains in TSW as first generation DMU's are my biggest...
Not only the wrong livery, the wrong formation. All the sets allocated to the Western region in the 70's were three car sets not two car sets. So...
Scenario packs I have purchased generally have the correct stock for the route and period it is representing and in the correct liveries!
In 1967, three class 101 TCL's were transferred to Reading to replace Hawksworth carriages converted to run as centre carriages with the class 117...
I haven't seen anyone say you have to purchase anything, I purchase what interests me. As a fan of 1970's railways this add-on interested me...
I certainly would never accuse them of being money grabbing. Laziness, well in this case I think they have chosen the easy option with the class...
Naturally I chose the second idea. I don't have a problem with the class 52 being included, a class 50 would be nice but they didn't come till...
I don't know the area at all. I would have thought Edinburgh to Glasgow would have been the obvious choice. If you could name five Scottish routes...
Yes a good point. I like the concept and hope they do similar in the future. I would have purchased it in a heart beat. The pro's for me are:...
I have the same first generation DMU book which Adam just showed on the stream. And I cannot find any class 101's at Reading during this time period!
I certainly prefer it with a class 314 than a 380!
They could have done an early 90's pack with an intercity HST and a NSE class 47 and mark ones. The 101 in NSE livery would have been seen on this...
Well if it is an experiment it is going to possibly result in a false outcome, unless for some reason that is the intention so they can keep...
From the Western Glory news article: and when several units were sent to the Western region in 1967 it became a common sight on various services...
Will it come with the class 101 in Saltire livery?
It isn't even close to being the best choice for this route, a BR painted class 166 would be almost as realistic.
Quite simply it is an unrealistic portrayal of the route at the time!
I like driving old trains, this pack should be a guaranteed purchase for me. But the experience it offers will be so far removed from reality that...
Do you think they will knock up a class 117 over the next few weeks? Somehow I don't and I don't think they actually care enough to either quite...
From the Railcar association website. The class 101 vehicles sent to the WR in 1967 were three trailer vehicles sent to Reading depot (as...
The unit number on the unit in the screenshot, L840 was among the set numbers given to the batch allocated to Reading in 1987/88 (as three car sets).
That paragraph is a complete load of unadulterated bunkum! 1) Where were the several units sent? Not to Reading, not in 1967 and not used on the...
My slight excitement for the route has just nosedived. I guessed the next UK route would be Scottish, I had hope for the Edinburgh to Glasgow or...
I would hope it will be a mini network not just the circle line.
I am waiting with bated breath! Indeed
I will be interested to see which period the Cathcart Circle line is set in. I would love to see it with the class 303 but I won't get my hopes...
This roadmap will be very interesting! I wonder if we will get fireworks as we did a fortnight ago! If I worked for DTG I think I would have a...
Yes that is it. I have seen very few spires like that on a British church and I have seen many, it looks more Bavarian if anything. It looks far...
Fair enough, not being such a fan of modern trains, I probably wouldn't notice things like that. I should try pressing more buttons, you don't get...
I think the class 395 is very nicely modelled and can't see any problems with the 377 so not sure what is so bad about their attempts at modern...
Church architecture is another interest of mine, which I could bore for hours on, I wasn't aware of the particular importance of spires though, so...
Separate names with a comma.
