Did a sort of version of that in MSTS years ago. A nice scenic run though not much in the way of traffic. Another route for... ta da - the Met Cam...

Other than the climb out of Queen Street which is no challenge to a modern unit, Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk High is pretty much level, just...

I think this might have been suggested a few weeks ago, but good shout. Even better would be wen it was the Waverley route through to Carlisle...

Not really. As I said earlier, you have 800 minutes of gameplay with the four service trains each way. You could double that by running in summer...

I think it's meant to be a bit tongue in cheek...

I was only 9/10 at the time but fairly certain I saw maroon stock still kicking around in Newcastle in 1971 or thereabouts, particularly on inter...

I think the commercial headache is the reason why DTG thus far have steered clear of the concept. My personal thoughts are that you buy the...

I think you would want to accelerate the prep time for a steam loco as, from what I've read, it could take several hours to get steam up to the...

Back at the PC, now able to quote what Sam said... That implies to me the question was can we operate to a full driver's or unit diagram cycle...

Can't put the quote as posting from the phone, but Sam's response to keeping the 24 hour timetable going is wrong. Until the save game is fixed...

I was aware of that setting - which is a bit of a cheat IMHO - but it should only apply to motored points and junctions. You shouldn’t need to...

I would love to see the entire S&D as a Spirit Of Steam route. Always felt to me the original RS version cutting off at Templecombe left things a...

Bit of a bump... I take it this is the scenario where you have to form up and return with the loaded train from Moab to Brendel. Just encountered...

Just thought of another one, which probably needs a separate topic but I'll plant it here initially... Journey Mode - needs a feature to skip or...

Newcastle to Berwick (Edinburgh probably too far) would be my first shout for the ECML. Some fast running but also curves (Morpeth) and some...

I would pay Day 1 price for a well made 56!

I would much rather have another BR Blue or even earlier route than another modern one with Electrostars or similar.

It's been a while, think it might have been with a helper loco on the rear.

There are defect detectors at intervals trackside and they send a report to the train radio after it has passed. Run 8 simulates this, usually no...

The second (I think) trip on Journey mode appears to be borked, the football special. Arrive at Glasgow Central approach on a red signal....

I have a brace… More than one save slot. Better night lighting. Better track sound (reverb et al).

Run 8 sell each section of Southern California as separate DLCs but where they abut merge seamlessly into one continuous driveable route. The...

For some reason the iPad won’t let me paste the link, but do a Google for Forgotten Relics site, go to the tunnel database and look up Kettleness...

I think the tunnels are on the northern section from Whitby round towards Boulby.

Cane Creek definitely worth a shout at the sale price.

I believe so, also quite scenic but long closed. A couple of long tunnels along there too from what I recall looking at the Forgotten Relics site.

Essentially Thomas The Tank Engine/Sodor, or as I mentioned tongue in cheek Ivor. Though I have heard Rivet may have been commissioned to do the...

I agree about Boulby, not only would it have offered more operational interest but some nice scenery too as the route climbed up above the cliffs.

I relented and bought it again! Can't really check until I've finished the current long scenario on Cane Creek (the pitfalls of a single save game...

Just curious from the above, what are the Railtour layers added to Cathcart Circle?

BML needs some BR era EMU's - CIG's/BIG's and VEP's, maybe even a Class 73 electro diesel and Mark 2 stock to retro the Gatwick Express.

Would be nice, just the hurdle of DTG not really wanting to do anything outside UK, certain European countries and North America to overcome.

Yes that seems to be working, thanks. So far in summary I would say the route is great, apart from the odd misplaced rock or rock face. The roads...

The coupling and uncoupling is more involved, particularly having to screw up the couplings and open the air cocks.

Yes it's a bit bare and despite what some might say, despite the superior physics you do start to notice it, especially in the endless desert....

Sorry quick supplementary question. Do these go in the paks folder or the DLC folder, not really used mods before? Also do I need to rename the...

Brilliant, thanks Callum. Downloading now.

I see there are some mods kicking around for the route and more especially the locos which do sound a little bit odd, in addition to the physics...

It was single tracked purely as an economy measure, a bit like Swindon to Kemble or parts of the Cotswold line. Basically to save maintenance...

No I'm saying that the appeal of modern units over a loco hauled, whether 47 or Class 86 or even Class 90 electric loco is far less to many...

There's a reason why in railway circles then are referred to as "Basils". Fawlty as in Faulty (Towers)! :)

Yes I know. That's why I referred to it in part or supplementing what was done with Cathcart as in providing a proper network. I wasn't expecting...

The ECML runs from Kings Cross towards York and the north. I think you mean the GEML as in Great Eastern Main Line. And if you're referring to...

Bedford to St Pancras. It was a derogatory term coined by the line's commuters in the early 80's prior to completion of the Midland Suburban...

The problem I see with the Technical Forum is its status. Is it a valid alternative to using the formal bug feedback form/system? There is no...

The problem with adding additional services to BML, is the danger of collapsing the timetable completely. It already gets stuck and fails to...

Bear in mind that in Class 27 days it took around 100 minutes from Fort William to Mallaig, multiply by 8 for the 4 return trips plus specials and...

By adding more mileage, I know that isn’t going to happen but it should really have been done as a more expansive South Clyde network, similar to...

I will probably give it another go when the Easter sales come round. It’s a classic case of a TSW route just needing another 10 or 15 miles and...

West Highland especially the Mallaig extension is iconic and known worldwide. It would sell like hot cakes if DTG put it in TSW. The appeal would...
