LGV is nowhere near as bad as West Cornwall with its laughable scenery, trees and tree stumps everywhere. The route is optimised for running at...

With speculation going wild it will be either a Class 86, Class 81, 82, 83 or 85, APT or Class 108 DMU.

Yes that’s how I bought the Met eventually with (I think) the S7+1, never got round to buying the S8 variant. But at full price worked out...

Well I wouldn’t hold my breath. DTG have gone utterly quiet about the issues WCMLS has, along with all the other TSW5 teething problems. Where are...

Would rather see the line recreated in the late 70’s or early 80’s with classic diesel power and Paxman HST’s.

Actually their TS quality varies. Some of the earlier stuff relied heavily on reusing default Kuju assets and rolling stock so Edinburgh to Dundee...

Just such a huge safety headache with those high voltage wires overhead, I guess the heritage tramways such as Seaton or Crich manage because the...

Yes I had similar when I tried to delete a stuck train which kind of defeats the point if you spent an hour getting to that point and don't get...

Useful for static observations and photographs though, for understandable reasons, I don't think any UK Heritage Railway or museum wants the...

Did you try to delete any of the stuck trains? Probably explains why we didn't get a full timetable...

There are many issues with the game which ought to have been addressed by now. Instead of which we got an updated 2D map that not only should have...

Well one of the TSC greats is coming to TSW soon, WCML over Shap by Just Trains. However DTG themselves seem to have little interest in following...

In truth since picking up the Arkansas map for ATS the other day and focusing on the WoT event plus a bit of BR Classic in TSC, TSW5 has not been...

Nice model but, but... as we know from TSC, UW can be a bit hit and miss when it comes to sounds.

Which means if the speed through the infrastructure is 15 MPH or 45 MPH it should show on the HUD. As already discussed, TSW does not enforce...

I don’t think so. Would have to be synthesised based on reference recordings. The Roarers were quite distinct especially the fan sound. The EU07...

Nice one. Imagine if the DLC was 10000 and 10001! Unlikely as that might be.

Just to clarify, if it’s a Class 86, that would be a Day One purchase for me regardless of the similarities to the 87. As would a Roarer or Class...

The 86 was slightly less powerful than the 87’s so there will be a slight performance difference. Sound wise near enough identical, compared to if...

Point taken about the speed signalling, but on the Rescue at the Ranch or whatever the scenario was called, none of the main line speed changes...

The APT might have looked nice on the outside but they were spartan as hell on the inside. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to travel on one...

WCMLS is certainly poor when compared to recent DTG so called in house releases. Although short and not particularly dynamic in terms of...

110% agree. APT at the outside but frankly of limited use and just like the real thing, a novelty item. No for me it's either got to be an 86,...

Not just freight, the scenario where you have to take a train from San Bernadino to rescue a failed service also has the same issue, including a...

Sadly I suspect fixes to steam traction are at the bottom of the list if not off the table altogether. The top heavy side to side rocking of the...

Hear, hear.

Flying Scotsman, you should be paying the customers to have that one!

Indeed. They would be in a pretty pickle otherwise if he decided to move on elsewhere or was off on the sick long term etc.

Fond memories of that one. The Amiga version only had the scripted scenarios but I later bought the PC version which included the mission planner....

Take the free upgrade if not interested in the new routes. There have been some stability issues, possibly caused by the new core features in...

I’m more Rand out of Wheel Of Time. Beware the One Power (and he becomes increasingly madder as the books progress!).

Indeed, hardly a peek out of anyone at DTG about this, even the EP has gone silent post release. As I’ve said previously an admission this isn’t...

Reminds me of the scene in the South Park movie where the military were using a Windows app at a briefing and the progress bar stuck. “Get me...

There is quite a difference between a few trees in the wrong place and not having neutral sections on an AC overhead electrified route. Or 25kv...

Et tu… I just finished my play through of one of the 1979/1980 scenarios and it was fantastic. I admit got a bit overwhelmed with some of the...

You will find that with Steam, the Download times will jump around royally. Best way is to ensure you’re not downloading or streaming anything...

Popular speculation is a Class 86 to complement the 87. A Class 25 is an outside possibility but by 1986 the type had dwindled rapidly and were...

Nevertheless, DTG could have taken the opportunity to update where adding neutral sections or buffing the timetable stand in the scheme of things.

That is dreadful. P... poor after sales service.

So far as we know, only UW are actively developing for Asia and their current focus is on Tadami which still seems some way off. Of course there...

Certainly sounds plausible. Unfortunately as my parents weren’t that well off, they rarely used the train to travel anywhere so trips via London...

Personally if you’re on Steam I would wait for a sale. The route is good, after SHG pulled their socks up, as are the trains particularly the...

I remember back in the late 60’s or early 70’s, “when I were a lad”, there was a cheap train from the North East to London. Think it was called...

On the run I did with Flixtrain, there was no one on my train at the start and no one boarded at the intermediate station. Effectively ran empty...

There was a suspicion that ATS is going to be Crewe to Manchester via the Styal Line, set in modern day with existing stock. So not exactly going...

Class 87’s in fact all the AC electrics generally had no trouble lifting heavy trains over Shap. However they were a bit prone to wheelslip in wet...

Same here - this is the one bright light I can see in TSW's future. Will need to see what needs to be about to provide the layers, as a huge...

As noted above, I have suggested repeatedly to the developer that having real world data import would massively expand the route building...

My only issue with DRS is that the route editor doesn’t support real world terrain or mapping data import. Otherwise once you get your head round...

Yes I see Arkansas has just released for ATS, only £10 too which compares favourably with what DTG charge for incomplete and poorly tested DLC....
