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...

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...
A very good stream, I popped in every so often. The Q&A session with TS controllers was very interesting with a hint that there may be a tap...
Excellent, with the exception of the two JT routes, this is probably the route I am most interested in seeing.
Agreed, I think it was a bizarre choice to choose the period during electrification on the GWML as it neither pleases those who are interested in...
TSC did have a few routes rereleased in a different era officially, Woodhead comes to mind with a subsequent release set in the late 70s rather...
There are other differences on Tees Valley compared to how the route is now. For example, where the route briefly joins the ECML at Darlington...
I'm the opposite, I find historic routes much more appealing. I like that it offers an experience that's impossible to see in real life often (the...
Blackpool branches has an 8F tour I think, so I expect there's something similar as a layer.
I'm personally only really interested in Preston - Crewe and perhaps the Czech route out of that tranche, it's more that I hope each DLC gets its...
I'm thinking it's probably April now given there will need to be QA time too, but in a sense it works a little better as we won't have a rush of...
Looking very good, glad we've had some more on the various branches!
Forgot to mention, this still works after the GWE remaster.
It's obviously meant for a younger audience so not my cup of tea, but I hope it does well and brings more players to TSW eventually. It could also...
Just a bit of fun. Am I missing some context?
Good old Vauxhall! I remember the last place I lived, there was someone round the corner from me who still had an early Mk2 Cavalier resplendent...
Ah that makes sense, thanks for the insight! I admit I'm not all that knowledgeable about buses but the history is quite fascinating.
Yeah a lot seem to be a real mishmash of several cars good detective work though!
JT Preston - Carlisle [ATTACH] I think this is a Mk1 Vauxhall Chevette Hatchback [IMG]
JT Preston - Carlisle [ATTACH] At first I thought it was a Leyland National, but I think it's a Leyland Panther (Plaxton body) from the lack of...
That's true, JT are effectively remastering some of the Diesels. I'll be interested to hear more about the 20, possibly next week. If you're...
Just a bit of fun, I thought I'd start this thread to try and identify the closest real world example to some of the cars in TSW. Can anyone else...
Most of the diesels are okay, I think the 31 and 40 for example have held up quite well. The sounds on the 45s aren't brilliant, sometimes at...
Is there? I shall have a look. Winds me up no end but glad to find out there's a solution! Edit: So there is! Thank you Tom.
Having to enable all layers each time I start up the game
Thank you very much for sharing this with the community! It's fantastic to have a 5700 in game, the West Somerset did feel odd only having the 4F,...
As for on train announcements, it would have certainly been manual if there was a PA at all. I believe the Networkers were the first trains to...
There was a tape based system on the Southern region, but I'm not sure it was taken up by the London Midland region during the era this route is...
Yeah, it's odd especially when watching AI controlled class 40s at night
1K90 - 1833 Blackpool North - Blythe Bridge. 12th September 1986. Nothing too dramatic, but just a nice run with some nice views at the start of...
The two JT routes, followed by the West Somerset. In TSW5 I did play Bakerloo and Cross city a lot to the point I got fairly familiar with both...
I believe the 90s working on freight eventually had their ETS equipment disabled/removed and were regeared for a top speed of 75mph.
Technically no, as the 90s didn't enter service until just after the route is set and the 90 pack we're getting depicts the class in it's current...
Agreed, I see the 86/4 doing the same thing for freight as the 86/2 replacing 87s on the non top link services. There were of course 87s working...
That's very true, I'd completely forgotten about that route!
Looking at those, I would expect Preston to Crewe to be the largest in file size given the route length and complexity, i.e. release no.2. Perhaps...
Given we don't have all the locos and units that would have run on WCMLOS in game, and that Whistlers would have have been around in numbers a...
D1023 made it to Leeds on the 'Western Finale' tour in 1977, but otherwise they wouldn't have run anywhere near any of the stations on NTP, and by...
It's my favourite route too, there's a good mixture of short and long runs, freight & passenger. As others have said the 86 really does add to to...
Hopefully the NTP one still works - the lighting is so bad on that route in particular it puts me off playing it
Agreed, I think either then or about 3pm, there's quite a busy spell with lots of loco swaps going on if I recall.
Separate names with a comma.
