Thanks for the tip about the VP reskins. There's three reskin packs for the 73 here: BR Green and Electric blue as well as the more modern ones -...
I think my nickname for the 460 is 'The Duck', rather than Darth Vader! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
After the DTG one, it does need a bit of adjusting, the AWS change end, and starting the diesel engine. Must look out those reskins, looks good.
Was in a hurry before and mixed up the photos (hard to see with thumbnails sometimes! Hopefully right this time! [ATTACH]
I have the 801 (still unused) that came with a route - appear in Quick Drive under Class 801. From the above, there seems to be an issue with the...
What's this? [ATTACH]
I got it for the the 73 that you've been extolling the virtues of.
Interesting Peter, thanks for sharing, will give it a try. How do the 40145 sounds compare to the AP 40 souns generally? Quality, loudness? The...
You've got DTG/Steam a sale, Peter, I hope you get some commission :) [ATTACH]
That's probably the best idea, Peter - we'll keep this one for British trains, and to one pic at a time. Here it is: Name That Cab International...
Here's a separate thread for non-British cabs, split off from the original thread for British only:...
This isn't a particularly well composed shot, but I quickly managed to take a screenshot of this Trans Pennine Express pulling into Edinburgh...
Thanks, looks like I’ll have to pay full price for that MKS 73 then....
Anyone have an idea when the next Steam or DTG sale might be?
I’m tempted now to get this 73 without waiting for the next Steam sale.
That's interesting - is there any video of it on YouTube or elsewhere?

Really looking forward to this being released later this year, as, with Aberdeen to Inverness, it’s one of two routes I’ve travelled the most by...
Let’s run the current American and go back to one cab then, as the consensus seems to prefer one.
There’s so few Scottish routes, that generally there’s no other options if you want a particular route. JT are releasing Perth to Inverness this...
My fault. Those furth of Britain were struggling with British cabs and an American cab was suggested. I thought we could have two running...
Why not, you post an American cab, and we can have two running in parallel.
No rivets, mind!
You're not on a laptop are you? While F12 will work on my PC, my laptop requires Fn+F12 for a screenshot. Also, besides possibly your pictures...
I hadn't tested any scenarios, just loading QDs - I'd imagine the speed improvements would apply to everything - after all, it's loading routes...
There’s options for all, and there are some detailed branch routes. There’s a vintage Paignton one you might like:...
Hmm, ideas for a new quiz: where’s that OLE? Do you recognise that insulator or conductor wire? Maybe not...!
Glad it seems to be working out. Don’t have the badger yet, maybe one day, though....
I take my hat off to you, wish I had those skills! I feel we both want the same: it’s just the harsh realities of costs involved that are the...
That applies to every route, though: just featureless terrain.
Exactly, and although 2D photos, many of the routes have made a valiant effort to include the buildings around Waverley: The bridges have...
WCML over Shap loading down from 1:10 to just 23 seconds. Great stuff! But I wonder if you’ve fully realised the consequences of your actions...
This makes a fantastic difference, thank you very much. I timed before and after with the WCML South. From click play to main menu, went from 1...
For us players, it is a hobby, but the TS I’m enjoying now simply wouldn’t exist, if it was treated as a hobby and not a business. People with...
Thanks, Steve, I missed that. Will look forward to giving this a shot when my son lets me back on the gaming PC :)
I’m sure all of us would love to have scenery made that was almost a carbon copy of the original. But it comes down to time...and money. How...
Ok, missed that!
Thing is some do well there, but they don’t have Edinburgh Castle, just a grassy mound, whereas the JT routes do have the castle: I think the...
Thanks, it wasn’t clear from that Steam overview that this 73 wasn’t a DTG loco.
I have things backed up, it was just the annoyance factor. It just reinstalled 300 MB of files, and all’s well again. I have folders of all my...
Edinburgh - New College from the galleries area: 1. DTG Edinburgh to Glasgow [ATTACH] 2. DTG Fife Circle [ATTACH] 3. JT ECML Edinburgh to...
Nothing for it, but reinstall: says it’s discovering existing TS files, so should hopefully and quickly just identify and repair the damaged files
Thanks, Steve and JJ. So SS is the best: will try that when I’m back up and running and see what it looks like and how my PC can cope.
Aargh, TS froze, I had to do a forced reboot, then had to log in to the Steam client again, for first time ever, and now there’s only an option to...
In the dead of night - Class 378 Capitalstar on the North London Line [ATTACH]
I know what anti aliasing is, but am totally unfamiliar with the settings terminology used in TS. What are FX, MS and SS AA?
Is this 73 the same one included with the Gatwick 460?...
This is certainly an interesting discussion, and I enjoy reading your input. I’ve never attempted to create a route in TS (maybe one day I’ll...
There is the point, too, that a model railway scarcely includes more than maybe a ‘model mile’ of rail, or with the typical steam ‘branch line...
Durham Cathedral is obviously held in high regard - looks like Just Trains have placed it in Edinburgh too! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
