The trouble with the WHL and other similar lines in Scotland is it's very much an A-B run regardless of the era, with limited replayability. Even...
TBH TSW7 is the least surprising bit of news so not a huge leak from JT. It could have even been a placeholder from JT based on previous years...
RE: Miles Platting, this may be of interest [MEDIA]
Miles Platting Jc at least had semaphores into the 90s. Probably the biggest change I can think of is Leeds being electrified between 87 and 88.
Thanks, I got that when accidentally switching to Vacuum Goods before switching back to Air Goods and had to end the run, I'll give that a go next...
The local traffic to/from Lime street handled by 304s are not present as there isn't a viable in game substitute. But I agree it's still quite...
Hurrah!
[IMG] Good luck everyone.
I do miss UKTS, there hasn't really been a good general Train sim forum site since although this is the closest to that until DTG axes it.
I've only just seen this, but I hope the decision is reversed. I thought we were assured that Discord would not replace the forums?
"Right yew lot...Shut up, belt up and if you can't see the bl**dy exits you must be bl**dy blind!"
Would need to check what the track layout is ahead of the signal but this is correct I believe. Normally the signal would be placed to the LH side...
I can only speak for myself, but I run TSW on a pretty average 'gaming laptop' and performance has been acceptable on the whole given just how...
Really enjoying the route, for a bit of fun I just had to try and make my own version of the 1989 'Birmingham to London in 5 minutes' using both...
It's a very good timetable, and the new announcements and period cars are great but there's a few minor bits of feedback: I miss the 31 and 45...
Some Mk3 sleepers would also be the perfect excuse to explore the night time diversions on Preston to Crewe. Perhaps it could be included as part...
Ah, I had assumed it would be routed via the M&C, but still good chunk of it can be run from Carnforth.
In theory too once the Cumbrian coast route is released one could drive the entire run which is exciting!
Cornwall would be great for some "Retro" scenarios as until the recent resignalling scheme it's changed very little since the 70s, but the only...
And also do I spy a Sierra & a Mk2 Golf amongst other possible new car models? [ATTACH]
Something I've just noticed from the manual screenshots is there appears to be brand new 80s npcs? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Here's the route map which I know a number of people have been asking for Quite excited for this!
Someone supplied some very good quality recordings of the essential sounds for an 85 in TSC, and someone at JT mentioned the sounds would be the...
Could have just have easily chosen BR Diesel, but with BR Electric you can have the best of both worlds often with some diesel workings. Plus, it...
I strongly suspect Preston - Crewe will feature, and it will be on the included class 86 + Mk2D stock which hasn't had a deep dive article yet.
[IMG]
Found it! Although like bigfoot there only exists some grainy photos to prove its existence ;) [ATTACH]
Where is that roughly? I've looked all round the woods but can't find anything?
The same for me, I've taken a sabbatical from TSW while Preston - Crewe awaits release but I'll be hopping back as soon as it is released. Mind...
I believe it's being rolled out after Preston-Crewe? I think JT Benedict mentioned it recently?
In fairness I don't think the class 40 is that bad, the peak has much worse sounds in my opinion. The only thing that irks me is someone has...
It's a real shame as it's the only UK route set in the 90s and doesn't really do the Cornish Mainline justice. Not including the branch to...
I would say routes which are more than a simple A-B run with lots of branches or alternative paths, and also a good mix of passenger and freight...
While it wasn't as common as suggested on the JT routes currently, 87s were used on freight services from time to time, 87101 was even painted...
Crewe is looking fantastic, hopefully eventually we'll see a 304 or a 310 to help populate the local AC services out of the station.
I think the chances are slightly better now we know there's a decent archive sound recording of one out there, but it's also worth bearing in mind...
I personally prefer the era JT have chosen or earlier, as while the operating department would have appreciated the arrival of DVTs very much, it...
Indeed, and typical of BR there's a temporary diversion to the slow lines which delays the Royal Scot by more than half an hour! It's a shame...
In fairness, at least with the 58 IIRC they were mostly allocated to the East Midland and South Yorkshire coalfields, don't think there were that...
The Davis equation is a good rule to estimate the rolling resistance, this site also adds some further 'fudge factors' to take into account...
There's no AC 1st gen EMUs running unfortunately, but I reckon something could be put together in terms of sounds from the 3rd rail 4 VEP or MLV...
1st Gen AC EMUs were always underrepresented in TSC, I'd love to see that change in TSW although unlikely. A 304 could also run on the Manchester...
I think the 304 is going to be a potential tricky one as they handled a lot of local passenger trains out of Crewe, yet there aren't any services...
Agreed, the WCL 150/2 would look totally out of place with the later Regional Railways livery. While I think there's scope for a 150/1 in the...
Possibly there might have been a few Derby based units terminating at Crewe in 1986, but not enough really to warrant making an as built condition...
https://www.justtrains.net/in-development/west-coast-main-line-crewe-preston Some more details in the JT blog too as well as a few more...
A further update in this month's roadmap, this time focussing on the class 20s. Some really nice screenshots! [IMG] [IMG] Good to see we're...
While I don't normally go for US routes, if Clinchfield was remastered I might be tempted to get it due to being the only historic US route so far.
I feel exactly the same. On paper it's an ideal route, but in practice I don't play it very often because the lighting and timetable is so off...
I agree with others that a remaster would be most welcome, but it would be a shame to change the era it is currently set in. If anything, pushing...
