Initially I have plumped for Clan Line. Wow, she is a beauty alright. Gave her an outing on the S&D and a treat to look at, listen to and drive....

As I remarked in my TSC thread, had the pleasure of being hauled behind it ex Swindon Works in 1984. Glorious machine.

Noted but once SOS refund processes will have £45 sitting on my Steam account which will set me up nicely with Clan Line and The Marches. Or I...

Well as of the moment I’ve refunded it (again) think it best to wait until the bugs are ironed out and the missing bits like no track sound added...

Why start a new thread when there are several running already? Anyhow if you’re in the UK on Steam, ETA is 1800 this evening.

Clarification appreciated and will take under advisement. However Clan Line and the Marches is looking very attractive at present…

IIRC the Class 206’s were formed with a surplus Hastings driving motor and saloon car then an EPB driving trailer on the other end, hence the...

I used to call that the "Microsoft Anvil" as that's what it sounded like. Well on the basis of what's being posted so far plus the jackhammer bug...

ISTR if it is the Kuju sound I'm thinking it was anything but realistic, sounded more like a rusty hinge being scraped across a blackboard than...

H'mmm. Beginning to wonder if I should divert the money back to TSC, get the Marches and Clan Line! (Or NWC and the Royal Scot).

Do you mean that occasional squeaking clank that MSTS locos used to emit? It got quite annoying after a while.

I've just been told I need to fix the fence... Back OT the download is probably the core updates as SoS will probably go live at 1800 in the UK,...

Indeed which is why it surprised me. After mastering the driving controls, next step will be to go manual on the firing though there will be the...

Well I must admit it’s going to be a dilemma to drag myself away from the 8F on the delightful Port Road in TSC to do the dreary drive from Crewe...

I take it not impressed by what you saw, then?

I believe the Balkans Line is the Sargan 8, part of the once much larger Yugoslavian narrow gauge network. Though strictly speaking isn’t it just...

I suspect that will be what a lot of people will do. Personally I want to thrash the Jubilee out of St Pancras through the HS1 tunnels to Ebbsfleet!

I figured something like that. Also in truth we are not talking MSFS or Witcher size installs here. Most people with a half decent internet...

One quick follow up question? Is there a way to overcome what appears to be a minimum boiler pressure cap, seems to be around 142psi? This means...

Being retired every day is a holiday… Except when the wife has jobs for me!

I still think the Northern Line, set back a few years when the 1972 or even 1959 stock was operating the route would be a nice shout. Good network...

I think you need to post a little more about the route itself. I’m assuming Los Angeles up towards Seattle but you’re going to have to nominate a...

Era should not be a barrier to a historical route. I mean in recent times we’ve had two TV series (Vikings and The Last Kingdom) which attempt to...

Steam release is normally 1800 in the UK, so I’ll be finishing up my Bossman 8F run on Port Road while waiting for the download. Always said it’s...

Good shout, I’ll add it to my wishlist. However North Wales Coast is another route I need to add in my collection. Next few days will see the...

Well it will be interesting to see with the goods trains, whether the HUD displays the maximum train speed or maximum line speed. Ideally it...

Found this on RM Web, might help: Class C (fully fitted) - up to 60 mph. Loco with driving wheels over 5', can be passenger loco. Class D -(part...

Of course, the further you go back the less people will be around to challenge the detail, or lack of it. Already with SoS1 route, you would...

I slightly understand steamylocoman's sentiments as I struggled at first, in fact I refunded the 8F on the first occasion I bought it. However...

Well personally I'm having a blast with the 8F across Port Road in TSC at present. Some lovely scenery, plenty of gradients to keep you on your...

:D:D

I was thinking Spirit Of Steam 2... Merchant Navy and West Country Pacifics with either: Salisbury to Yeovil or Yeovil to Exeter (for Honiton...

Will brake application be the same as on the TSC version. i.e. small ejector on very slightly to prevent loss of vacuum, brake handle has to be...

Only TVL and NTP are what could be regarded as historic. WSR doesn’t really count as it’s a preserved line and I don’t count WCL as it’s a dog’s...

Personally I have always considered AP stuff a bit over-rated. I certainly don’t think Wherry Lines was worth what they charged for it on first...

Not everyone likes soulless push to go/stop modern trains. There was more variety and interest 20 or 40 years ago. :love:

My history (PC) is a bit mixed. I wasn’t going to buy Day 1 but the earlier streams convinced me to buy. Watched the Jubilee stream and felt...

Just to update, I have got the hang of the 8F brakes so waiting to see what the TSW version brings. Great locos though, if they have translated...

I'm cheating a bit at present by using the AI fireman, who is doing a passable job!

I got the hang of it now! When braking you have to put the brake handle off at the desired reduction, other wise it keeps destroying the vacuum....

Well I only tried the multiplayer once and didn't really get much out of it. Now you have "Otto" as in AI Despatcher that has simplified the...

Exactly. What we want is for the basics to work… Fully functional track sound over nodding cows (or donkeys). AI firing that is at least as...

Fully agree. I found one video clip of a guy driving the BMG Black Five and he actually seemed to be keeping the large ejector slightly open and...

Because they are exactly that - suggestions. DTG will only make routes and stock which will be a commercial success. They have already stated...

Run 8 has a bit of a learning curve as there are no real tutorials and no missions or scenarios to break you in. Best recommendation is to watch a...

I like all three of the “big” areas in TSW though I probably play the UK and German routes more than the US. That’s probably because I prefer Run...

I’ll try ambient light a bit higher. The other thing I need to practice with a bit is the brakes as I was really struggling to balance the small...

Further to my musings on the 9F, I took the Bossman 8F out for a spin on one of the supplied S&C scenarios yesterday evening. Now this is...
