I am definitely getting the vibe this was rushed. The fireman arrangements, lack of lineside detail and general grime, no catering cars. Let's...

Now that is nice. Much better than the FGW green refurb with 387 style ironing boards!

One of the challenges running steam locos in TSC or even MSTS was balancing cut-off/regulator and speed with steam consumption to avoid depleting...

Trouble is, the 380 is just another push button Electrostar style EMU with a very narrow front view. How about a 303 or 311, something a bit retro?

Could next week’s demo utillise the PC?

That is a matter of history so far as loading gauge is concerned, not DTGs fault. As regards the 8F, well yes a smaller tender loco or tank...

Now that is a slight concern, particularly for night driving where we know ambient lighting in the game is not at its best. Let’s hope some of the...

I just hope the items people are picking up on are not evidence that things have been rushed at the last minute to meet a deadline. A decent (ish)...

If Journey Mode your tasks will jump around between the different motive power types that come with the route.

I looked in vain on Google for buffet and restaurant car menus from that era. Latterly during BR days the catering arm was known as “Travellers’...

I only just caught the end of the Stream but yes, looking good. Including the Independent Lines behind/under the station is a nice touch. I will...

Appreciate the response Matt, but I live in hope it can be added at some point maybe as part of a DLC. Any catering car has potential future...

Newcastle to Carlisle would be great as kind of loses out to the S&C every time. Worth going the slightly extra distance and if set in the 70’s or...

Indeed and I think this is the main reason we have not seen longer routes so far and indeed that SoS is less than 40 miles long, so that most runs...

Yes if you mouse over and click it should get a Banking Comm "On" message.

Definitely give it a try as this will ensure other locos in the consist take their control input from the lead loco. Otherwise you are dragging...

And most UK Heritage railways are bound by law and the Light Railway Order to a maximum speed of 25 MPH, to ease certain safety requirements and...

Edit - deleted my buffet car gripe already in there.

Have you switched Banking Comm on? (Via one of the buttons on the cab radio CDU).

I think it's more to see if ambient temperature affects the intensity of the steam effects.

I think the reference is to the bogie/track "run" sound, either the clickety clack of jointed track or the swoosh of welded rail, plus running...

I didn't mean your good self (!) but our TSC friend.

I recall reading somewhere (think it might have been the ignoring speed limit thread) that the maximum linespeed in GWR/BR days was 40 MPH, so...

I fear we may be feeding the troll here, rather than engaging in constructive debate...

Because there is no current real life precedent. Engineering trains are not going to run on public operating days and there is not much...

Then you need to accept there are those of us who do!

And there was me trying to come up with a scheme to justify to the wife, spending £60 on the PMDG 737 for MSFS! But I know exactly where you are...

Staples such as roast beef or lamb, steak and kidney pie. This was before the era of MaxPax tea and coffee so proper beverages too.

Essentially yes. It's not as if digital downloads go out of stock!! I made a personal decision to pre-order to show support for the project but...

One thing it would be nice to see is a German route that still uses semaphore signalling. They have a particularly elegant appearance.

Because it's represented here in preserved/heritage state, not prior to closure. The only freight which operates on the line would either be demo...

No it is not. Standard DLC route pack price £24.99. And they won't discount it now as there would be howls of fury (and refund requests) from...

I think they got better as they went on with TSC but some of their early stuff was a bit woeful. Routes reusing default Kuju assets and deploying...

Except there are no catering vehicles, to keep chomping the bit on this one. I do believe a Black Five would be useful but agree it would be too...

Do you not think I already tried that? The cab lighting in some of the German locos (101 as an example) does not throw any light over the area of...

Indeed. I love Run 8 and the experience it provides but no denying the scenery is very low level. Cardboard cut out trees and only placed to a...

Back to my issue with the brake switch on some of the German locos. If you take over the train during darkness, that area of the panel isn’t even...

This is because DTG currently only do routes to a maximum of around 60 miles for TSW, for various reasons. If you want longer American runs then...

One thing I would like to see actually is a German route that uses semaphore signals. To the best of my knowledge none of the routes so far in TSW...

Likewise on the LMR, you still had Mark One Buffet and Restaurant Cars in Mark 2 A/C formations as there were no Mark 2 catering car builds.

Combined Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland even better!

Munich to Augsburg is probably closest in style to Koln to Aachen, in that you get a choice of ICE or red electric karts to drive. It’s not a very...

The problem is that sometimes you enter the cab with everything set ready to go, other times not. A scenario generally prompts you what to do, but...

Well it’s certainly not for lack of information. There are RMB’s in all the other sims that have UK stuff, plenty of models and preserved examples...

My thread title was ironic. :) The point is, most Class One services out of Liverpool would have conveyed a catering car, yet DTG CBA to include...

I agree about the northern routes. Anything around Buxton would be great, both the passenger route down to Stockport or the freight routes through...

Well DTG were working on an updated Scenario Editor which would hopefully have included some of the above but it seems to have gone into extended...

Well at least they can’t put a Class 377 on the locals…

Hopefully the DLC to add a smaller tender loco and maybe a 2MT or 4MT tank loco is already underway. And (with apologies for bold letters), can...
