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...

I haven't bought Sherman yet, will pick it up later in the year though.

Just thought I'd bump this having decided to pick up the route at the last minute in the sale. Done the first few Journey activities and started...

I was watching the first part of the Videoscene Mossend to Inverness cab ride Blu-ray earlier and it struck me how scenic and curved the section...

I did at one time look that if you flipped the shape of the Island Of Arran, it was almost a ringer for Sodor. However the DEM (terrain data)...

One last plunge for me, then. Decided to give Cane Creek a whirl, if only for the nostalgia value of driving the route in Trainmaster 4 - the cab...

Just to clarify, I fully respect those who like the Electrostars, they're not bad trains just not particularly fun to drive for some of us. So by...

There was a legend in railway circles, when the 50's were used on Waterloo to Exeter services the drivers regularly used just the loco brake to...

I agree to some extent, but the DLC is how DTG fund the game. The alternative N3V approach where you either pay a monthly subscription to use...

Anything post 1980 is modern plastic to this old dinosaur. :D

Some of the more recent UK freight locos have a train length counter which can be triggered passing a speed board, so the driver knows when the...

The main issue with Electrostars is that they are bland and boring. The traction noise is virtually non existent, they are so powerful there is no...

Most trains don't have odometers, a record of mileage, or in the case of UK locos hours run, is kept on the various resource control computer...

I believe so, though I bought it direct from DT when first released. Better than nothing, I guess. Out of interest I wonder if AP were involved...

Well that's a blow. I just discovered the Class 40 I have is the original DT one, not the AP model. Feeling very sad now. Maybe it will come back...

I reckon a train themed route... It will either be the Calvert to Willesden via Aylesbury bin liner with a 56 as per the Videoscene cab ride...

Possibly. I must sit down with the old girl later and pamper it into action!

Oh yes, definitely in my collection, though last time I fired it up couldn’t get moving… Must have missed a step or three!

That was my thoughts, it may not be an Electrostar but in my book still classes as modern plastic. If it is the NorthWest I would much rather have...

A shame to see neither TVL or NTP made it into either Top Ten. And as for WCL, probably people trying it out to see if it really was that awful....

Ah yes, that would be old Ashley Greenup's Cab View Driver which used Jeremy English (of the incessant chatter) Railscene cab rides to provide the...

Quite. I don't (except the odd poster I pass accidentally). The point is, it's fluff like that which causes the Open Rails and Run 8 curmudgeons...

Apart from the shonky physics which sometimes led to you derailing on a curve, even when running well under the speed limit! Not unless it was...

Yes if it comes with 216s/218s and Silberlinge or UIC stock!

Thank goodness we still have the excellent 40 in TSW, then!
