Sadly CRR seems to have joined the ever increasing list of “fire and forget” TSW routes. Launched with great hoorah, but then left to languish...

Yes getting a horrible Cathcartish feeling of deja vu here. I still need to track down the stream on YT and watch it but I know from the short...

It’s more the authenticity of the consists, if this is supposed to be a historic recreation of the route and era. No different to releasing GWE...

If that is the case then no better than early Trainz or the old Japanese console games, Kisha de Go (the steam edition of Densha de Go) or SL de...

HST era would be better but as stated OP has spammed another unrealistic route request. We are waiting to see if DTG have any plans for GWE but...

Sorry you can’t take a bit of whimsy…

Good points Gary. It's a source of frustration that I can't run the HST with the doors open to hear a bit of engine noise, yet the Class 395...

OP - Assuming you are running TSC, you need to ask the mods to move the thread to the relevant section. If you're running MSTS, Open Rails, Trainz...

No disrespect but we really don't need this bringing down to include Thomas references. It's never going to be seen in TSW. My RMB has more chance...

Run flat out at 50% cutoff, that will soon sap the boiler! But seriously, a definite concern and one which needs to be addressed. As I posted...

I think it is considered bad form to tag DTG team members in routine route requests. Your suggestion has no less or greater merit than any other...

I am definitely getting the vibe this was rushed. The fireman arrangements, lack of lineside detail and general grime, no catering cars. Let's...

Now that is nice. Much better than the FGW green refurb with 387 style ironing boards!

One of the challenges running steam locos in TSC or even MSTS was balancing cut-off/regulator and speed with steam consumption to avoid depleting...

Trouble is, the 380 is just another push button Electrostar style EMU with a very narrow front view. How about a 303 or 311, something a bit retro?

Could next week’s demo utillise the PC?

That is a matter of history so far as loading gauge is concerned, not DTGs fault. As regards the 8F, well yes a smaller tender loco or tank...

Now that is a slight concern, particularly for night driving where we know ambient lighting in the game is not at its best. Let’s hope some of the...

I just hope the items people are picking up on are not evidence that things have been rushed at the last minute to meet a deadline. A decent (ish)...

If Journey Mode your tasks will jump around between the different motive power types that come with the route.

I looked in vain on Google for buffet and restaurant car menus from that era. Latterly during BR days the catering arm was known as “Travellers’...

I only just caught the end of the Stream but yes, looking good. Including the Independent Lines behind/under the station is a nice touch. I will...

Appreciate the response Matt, but I live in hope it can be added at some point maybe as part of a DLC. Any catering car has potential future...

Newcastle to Carlisle would be great as kind of loses out to the S&C every time. Worth going the slightly extra distance and if set in the 70’s or...

Indeed and I think this is the main reason we have not seen longer routes so far and indeed that SoS is less than 40 miles long, so that most runs...

Yes if you mouse over and click it should get a Banking Comm "On" message.

Definitely give it a try as this will ensure other locos in the consist take their control input from the lead loco. Otherwise you are dragging...

And most UK Heritage railways are bound by law and the Light Railway Order to a maximum speed of 25 MPH, to ease certain safety requirements and...

Edit - deleted my buffet car gripe already in there.

Have you switched Banking Comm on? (Via one of the buttons on the cab radio CDU).

I think it's more to see if ambient temperature affects the intensity of the steam effects.

I think the reference is to the bogie/track "run" sound, either the clickety clack of jointed track or the swoosh of welded rail, plus running...

I didn't mean your good self (!) but our TSC friend.

I recall reading somewhere (think it might have been the ignoring speed limit thread) that the maximum linespeed in GWR/BR days was 40 MPH, so...

I fear we may be feeding the troll here, rather than engaging in constructive debate...

Because there is no current real life precedent. Engineering trains are not going to run on public operating days and there is not much...

Then you need to accept there are those of us who do!

And there was me trying to come up with a scheme to justify to the wife, spending £60 on the PMDG 737 for MSFS! But I know exactly where you are...

Staples such as roast beef or lamb, steak and kidney pie. This was before the era of MaxPax tea and coffee so proper beverages too.

Essentially yes. It's not as if digital downloads go out of stock!! I made a personal decision to pre-order to show support for the project but...

One thing it would be nice to see is a German route that still uses semaphore signalling. They have a particularly elegant appearance.

Because it's represented here in preserved/heritage state, not prior to closure. The only freight which operates on the line would either be demo...

No it is not. Standard DLC route pack price £24.99. And they won't discount it now as there would be howls of fury (and refund requests) from...

Except there are no catering vehicles, to keep chomping the bit on this one. I do believe a Black Five would be useful but agree it would be too...

Do you not think I already tried that? The cab lighting in some of the German locos (101 as an example) does not throw any light over the area of...

Indeed. I love Run 8 and the experience it provides but no denying the scenery is very low level. Cardboard cut out trees and only placed to a...

Back to my issue with the brake switch on some of the German locos. If you take over the train during darkness, that area of the panel isn’t even...

This is because DTG currently only do routes to a maximum of around 60 miles for TSW, for various reasons. If you want longer American runs then...

One thing I would like to see actually is a German route that uses semaphore signals. To the best of my knowledge none of the routes so far in TSW...

Likewise on the LMR, you still had Mark One Buffet and Restaurant Cars in Mark 2 A/C formations as there were no Mark 2 catering car builds.
