I have the V200 so it must be part of the European and UK Loco's and Assets. If you want to take it for a spin I'd suggest you find the...

Is it too late to point out that my pic' also got votes in an earlier competition so technically... I jest of course- congratulations Railfan.

There are two Pendolinos- could that be confusing things?

[IMG] Once the pride of the GWR Castle class loco's sit idle as D1031 Western Rifleman pulls away from Exeter St. David's (The Riviera Line in...

Don't you mean a Stotty cake full of bacon? I talked up a Metro proposal in the TS forums on Steam a year or more ago. While the purpose built...

You're correct- it is now internationally recognised (since the '70s I think) that a billion is a thousand millions, a trillion is a million...

Regarding the BR155 it was given away to buyers of TS2016 in a scheme called TS Rewards and subsequently, like all the other TS Rewards items, it...

Indeed- that did occur to me before I had a second look at the OP. It's largely a European practice I believe.

Looking at the OP (and the wiki) it's 1.662bn- only three orders of magnitude out though. (I thought it was a comma at first glance too.)

Do I gather from that that the HD graphics is actually incorporated into the CPU? The advice up-thread is still applicable and fitting cards is...

Well, like your other system, the processor is more than adequate for TS but I see no indication of a discrete GPU. Are you sure you're not...

Someone's going to ask so it might as well be me- can you post the specifications?

The Clayton's a nice looking little loco'- pleasant to drive (so I'm told) and with a nice comfy cab to sit in while you wait for a recovery...

I ran into this too. WCML(N) is a good route but it does seem to have more than its share of duff scenarios- the other two Career scenarios are...

How about 18100? A gas-turbine loco' ordered by the GWR but eventually delivered to BR after WW2. She was rebuilt as a 25Kv electric for test...

Ooh you've got it bad! I got £20 to spend over Christmas and was thinking, "should I really spend it on TS? That'd take me up to £80!"

At the risk of sounding like a broken record I'd always recommend The Weardale and Teesdale Network in the '60s. It's vast, various (an excuse...

You're welcome. Indeed. My 6-7 year old laptop has a fairly low-end GPU so a lot of graphics settings are turned down but TS still looks pretty...

Hit Post Reply before I was finished- I wanted to add a caveat to what I said about TS. Although development will (probably be) confined to a few...

Train Simulator uses an old unsupported game engine which is never going to be upated to current standards and, as such, is at something of a...

Something to consider might be what else you'd be running on the system. No matter what CPU and GPU you have TS is only going to use two cores...

Ha ha. The next thing could be a post-Beeching branch line- a scenic mat too rough to put track on and a few footpath signs.

If it had been possible to add to TS's features, upgrade the graphics to TSW's level and maintain backwards compatibility Dovetail would surely...

Is the Corris Railway even a mile long? Doncaster Works is just the Works isn't it? (Haven't got either so these aren't recommendations.)

Yes indeed although it's easy enough to use any loco' in Quick Drive and the loco's are used in some Workshop scenarios for other routes.

Blimey- New Street looks a lot sharper than it did in my day! A right hole in the ground it was.

You're very welcome. TSW looks great and if I had the hardware (and saw it cheap!) I'd be tempted to get it, especially with that Pennine route...

Someone else will be able to come up with numbers and detailed advice but I can describe my own system and experience. My system runs Windows 7...

Oh dear- that's going to limit upgrade options. If you're lucky you might have an expansion slot but likely as not your only option will be to...

She makes it clear that she's buying for her husband- the "he" being referred to.

Also be sure that your system has enough power available and room for the card. That may sound pretty basic but some budget systems, in spite of...

I have TS running on two laptops with roughly similar i5 processors but one has your common-or-garden Intel HD integrated graphics while the other...

There's an awful lot of talk on the Steam TS forum about this. It seems unlikely that Dovetail will be making any Australian routes partly...

That would actually be less expensive than it sounds. If you're particularly smitten by the WSR have a look at the Train Simulator version's...

[IMG] On a clear, cold winter morning an EE type 3, later Class 37, crosses Lands Viaduct (in The Weardale and Teedale Network in the '60s) with...

[IMG] The sun is already low as a railtour crosses Ribblehead Viaduct (in the Settle-Carlisle route of course) casting long shadows in...

Well that was my point. Just found mention that the QJ's grate was 6.8 square metres which, without getting a calculator out, sounds like 73...

I put in a word for the Jitong line in the Train Simulator pages in Steam a few years ago. I like a kettle, though am more of a modern traction...

25% reverser seems high for that speed. Granted she's LNER but there's a notice next to the reverser in V2 Green Arrow telling drivers to have...

You make a good point there actually. The W+T already covers a lot of route miles and perhaps extending it much would push the limits of what TS...

Oh yes there's that too but I've certainly had moments when I finished scenarios with points to register and they weren't. They don't sem to...

This reminds me that the first time there was a water theme I won the competition. Was my picture ever used for anything? If it was I missed it.

That's true- furthermore I find the Simple controls too simple and no easier to use than the Expert controls. I've also noticed I getting nul...

As discussed elsewhere there was a Clayton available from Iron Horse so presumably Dovetail has it and may rerelease it at some point as it did...

Joyous news. As someone else who has to compromise on the graphics I found the thing to do was to start with everything low, nudge settings up...

The Robinson O4 would be another suitable loco'. IIRC, although some locomotives were requisitioned the ROD favoured a policy of standardisation....

I went for a ride on the Weardale Railway a couple of weekends ago in a Class 122 now resplendent in green. It was the first time I've ridden in...

You will always get more for your money with a desktop machine than a laptop and, since you don't mention any spec's, it's impossible to say much...

I can't speak from experience but this does crop up on the Steam forums now and then and the usual solution is to ensure that your graphics...
