There's a reason why in railway circles then are referred to as "Basils". Fawlty as in Faulty (Towers)! :)
DRS is good but the key commands are a bit non mnemonic. The route editor is a bit unfathomable too. Apart from the other big three (MSTS/Open...
Yes I know. That's why I referred to it in part or supplementing what was done with Cathcart as in providing a proper network. I wasn't expecting...
The ECML runs from Kings Cross towards York and the north. I think you mean the GEML as in Great Eastern Main Line. And if you're referring to...
Bedford to St Pancras. It was a derogatory term coined by the line's commuters in the early 80's prior to completion of the Midland Suburban...
The problem I see with the Technical Forum is its status. Is it a valid alternative to using the formal bug feedback form/system? There is no...
Having spent a bit of time on Cane Creek, I actually wouldn't be averse to some more branch or short line railroads. The Apache Railway comes to...
The problem with adding additional services to BML, is the danger of collapsing the timetable completely. It already gets stuck and fails to...
I think the OP has made the point he would like to see Toronto in a TSW route. Continually spamming the fact is not going to increase the chance...
Bear in mind that in Class 27 days it took around 100 minutes from Fort William to Mallaig, multiply by 8 for the 4 return trips plus specials and...
By adding more mileage, I know that isn’t going to happen but it should really have been done as a more expansive South Clyde network, similar to...
I will probably give it another go when the Easter sales come round. It’s a classic case of a TSW route just needing another 10 or 15 miles and...
West Highland especially the Mallaig extension is iconic and known worldwide. It would sell like hot cakes if DTG put it in TSW. The appeal would...
And returning to my original point, DTG do not nor have they indicated they will in future, extend the physical distance of any released TSW...
I haven't bought Sherman yet, will pick it up later in the year though.
Just thought I'd bump this having decided to pick up the route at the last minute in the sale. Done the first few Journey activities and started...
I was watching the first part of the Videoscene Mossend to Inverness cab ride Blu-ray earlier and it struck me how scenic and curved the section...
Having bought the route in the sale, the current version is a bit short. Like most DTG routes it could do with another 15 to 20 miles. Problem is,...
I did at one time look that if you flipped the shape of the Island Of Arran, it was almost a ringer for Sodor. However the DEM (terrain data)...
One last plunge for me, then. Decided to give Cane Creek a whirl, if only for the nostalgia value of driving the route in Trainmaster 4 - the cab...
Just to clarify, I fully respect those who like the Electrostars, they're not bad trains just not particularly fun to drive for some of us. So by...
There was a legend in railway circles, when the 50's were used on Waterloo to Exeter services the drivers regularly used just the loco brake to...
I agree to some extent, but the DLC is how DTG fund the game. The alternative N3V approach where you either pay a monthly subscription to use...
Anything post 1980 is modern plastic to this old dinosaur. :D
Some of the more recent UK freight locos have a train length counter which can be triggered passing a speed board, so the driver knows when the...
The main issue with Electrostars is that they are bland and boring. The traction noise is virtually non existent, they are so powerful there is no...
Most trains don't have odometers, a record of mileage, or in the case of UK locos hours run, is kept on the various resource control computer...
I believe so, though I bought it direct from DT when first released. Better than nothing, I guess. Out of interest I wonder if AP were involved...
Well that's a blow. I just discovered the Class 40 I have is the original DT one, not the AP model. Feeling very sad now. Maybe it will come back...
I reckon a train themed route... It will either be the Calvert to Willesden via Aylesbury bin liner with a 56 as per the Videoscene cab ride...
Possibly. I must sit down with the old girl later and pamper it into action!
Oh yes, definitely in my collection, though last time I fired it up couldn’t get moving… Must have missed a step or three!
That was my thoughts, it may not be an Electrostar but in my book still classes as modern plastic. If it is the NorthWest I would much rather have...
A shame to see neither TVL or NTP made it into either Top Ten. And as for WCL, probably people trying it out to see if it really was that awful....
Ah yes, that would be old Ashley Greenup's Cab View Driver which used Jeremy English (of the incessant chatter) Railscene cab rides to provide the...
Quite. I don't (except the odd poster I pass accidentally). The point is, it's fluff like that which causes the Open Rails and Run 8 curmudgeons...
Apart from the shonky physics which sometimes led to you derailing on a curve, even when running well under the speed limit! Not unless it was...
Yes if it comes with 216s/218s and Silberlinge or UIC stock!
Thank goodness we still have the excellent 40 in TSW, then!
There’s another flag in the PC discussion about Matt referencing a Class 319 in a chat. So make of that what you will… Potentially BedPan line or...
I remember when I worked in the Wales and West Control, spending a night down at Canton to see what went on. Believe me, your lungs took a...
Enjoy. You can always imagine you’re driving a 150 or a 158 in a more fanciful moment, with the engine revving away!
You are not going to get more than about 70 miles as a TSW route. Having driven this section a few times in Run 8, it’s okay but not going to be...
I will look for that, then!
Quite. Zusi 3 still sells at £55 on Steam and had no discount in the current sale. Though OTH, N3V are intending to sell their “new” version of...
319 could be a classic layer for BML, or BedPan or of course their new stamping ground in the North West. So wild speculative guess (again),...
Ah now that's a good point re the 50. A 70's or 80's Riviera Line could also be a stamping ground with plenty of layers for the 37, 45, 47 even...
Of course the problem as I just found - is, you do need it visible for certain cab functions which cannot be done via keyboard. For example the...
A few points arising... 1 The DC6 for MSFS was probably lapped up because it's one of the few airliner payware add ons that have made it to the...
Ah. I learned something just now. Off it goes when I’m back on the game next.
Separate names with a comma.
