I find it more satisfying running with the 1938 stock, after Rivet finally albeit only partly buffed the sounds.

Not at all! In fact Mark 3 sleepers, along with the Class 304 and Second Class Mark 2D’s with *original* interior should be next on JT’s list.

It was only a random thought as a means of making a Class 304 pack more viable. Of course the other stamping ground was Trent Valley local...

From the stream, it would have been nice if some liberties had been taken with the Network Rail linear forest in order for us to see the M1 and...

They could give it a retro timetable for BCC, in the same way as we had the Legends for GWE. Imagine doing a run from Longbridge to Lichfield City...

After playing Clinchfield the other evening, we desperately need a more dynamic signaller/despatcher. Trains should not necessarily be forced down...

I missed the boat on that last year. Even hard drives have gone through the roof with a 2Tb mechanical (not even SSD) costing around £100 for a...

Had a quick look at the manual and the feast is looking good, with just a few caveats... Without a Class 304 unit, how will the Crewe to...

It was just a forlorn hope. Will probably end up getting triaged off my HD for now, as it's come and gone on my alphabetical playthrough.

Given my almost PC melting experience with Running Train, if TSW7 did come as UE5 doubt I could run it until I get a new rig.

And no AP in free roam either.

WCL is okay if you run in the dark (or at least twilight) and do a Class 45 or 47 run (not the 40 as they have no place in Cornwall!).

They were sort of starting to appear in early '86. I remember visiting the Kyle line around that time and while window valuing the 37/4 thrash I...

Watched a bit more of the stream skipping forward to the 807 from MKC to Rugby. Not sure why Matt was faffing about so much with the cruise...

Yep. Can confirm, had to stop 4 yards from the Stop Board on a falling 1 in 67 gradient to trigger the completion. Ridiculous! And for that and a...

The problem with modern trains, at least UK ones, is they are not very entertaining. Traction sounds are subdued or non existent in the case of...

I don’t have good memories of WOS3. The sounds were the best part, they must have sampled a real C69 set to obtain them. However physics were...

Another mega necro for a Clinchfield thread. Same issue persists with 3001, with the ridiculously short trigger distance and marker on top of the...

I generally try and do that and on other routes (apart from the AABS ones with double despatch) and it saves a few seconds, yes. But mostly, it’s...

Apart from the glitchy signalling (run with SPAD's turned off) the Virtual District Line in TSC is quite nice.

Basingstoke to Bournemouth would be a cracking route, get in Eastleigh TCD, both FLT Intermodal Yards at Southampton and the DB Terminal as well.

When I play Run 8 and the industry sub game in particular, I am the uber Trainmaster of the whole railroad - the yards get what they are told to...

Yes another forgotten route in the wake of constant DLC releases. I quite enjoy the odd run along there (better than Bremen to Oldenburg IMHO) but...

The biggest obstacle to this (and any US route going forward), is who is going to build it? The status of DTG internal route building for the US...

Deep down I know that, just my OCD! And annoyance that high time the AP equivalency was properly overhauled.

Given it’s now a vintage route in DTG’s eyes and the amount of light baking that would be needed for a substantial rejig, I would say any chance...

Even the revised timetable with properly rounded up times is nigh on impossible - maybe real Tube drivers really do drive by the seat of their...

It’s a while since I’ve driven that one as I just hate the 25 MPH trundle with a 2,750hp Duff! It’s quite possible they nerfed it a bit so as to...

Pretty much spot on and even then still almost impossible to keep time.

I thought Matt had stated he had laid the project aside.

It would be nice as an offshoot to the main game to get a working manual signalbox in there complete with block bells to adjacent boxes and...

One interesting omission from the services this time round is a Class 86 or Class 87 Railtour.

Reviving this thread as it has come around in my A to Z playthrough. Yes it most definitely needs a bit of TLC, starting with the lighting and...

One thing this brings home and possibly slightly OT for this discussion, but the possibility of route hopping from Euston to Carlisle was directly...

Of course I had forgotten AABS are doing the Class 70 so fulsome apologies to the team c/o Kezz for stating they have no train modellers on staff....

OT I know, but don't sell it. I made the mistake a few years ago of putting all my OO stuff on Ebay as non runners for a bargain price. Now every...

Personally I don't consider the 807 a new train, it's just a rework of the existing Hitachi AT300 classes we already have in game. I haven't got...

You are correct, I caught that one too. Though of course that doesn't rule out an offshoot from the current AABS network and it also depends what...

My personal ideal setting for any tube or sub surface line would be the late 70’s or early 80’s when the older far more interesting stock types...

Thanks to Jan for asking and Dan for answering my questions about Kilsby Tunnel and the Northampton Loop. Kilsby Tunnel (previously mentioned...

Watching a bit more of the stream (got to Lichfield TV on the 350/4 run), I am now moderately concerned by the very definite stuttering that...

£££€€€$$$ They might show us friendly faces on the streams etc., but behind that lies a hard nosed and dare I say slightly cynical business...

That’s not a route. And as I noted above we don’t know what AABS in house train building capacity is, as a Class 221 is not a simple conversion...

As regards NWC, being the old git I am I would much rather JT did it set in the early to mid 80’s with classic BR traction. I mean, I’d take...

Oft requested but DTG have repeatedly stated Bakerloo Line went significantly over budget due to the complexities of light baking the tunnels and...

That speaks to me, too.

Thanks for that. Well at least they have modelled the structure itself accurately by the sound of it, which is a plus. Started to watch the...

The reports from the stream are encouraging and I might try and watch a bit of it later on. Still wavering on it being a Day One purchase as, on...

And done... that really didn't take long at all. Got to wonder if the 80k XP was intended to be AP but got typoed. That would have made for a bit...

And yet even now, with this admission and statement, the item is still on sale at full price in the various e-stores.
