I think somebody needs to tell the devs that platforms in the 1950s always had ramps at the end. Great picture though.
Really enjoying the Liverpool to Crewe route but the safety valves blowing off all the time is getting very wearing. I'm an engineer, not a...
At this period they would have been mixed. The blood and custard livery was being phased out in favour of maroon so there would have been random...
In real life, 75% cut off means the steam is applied to the piston for 75% of it's stroke. This is the maximum torque setting, used for getting...
Well what do I know? I only grew up in Manchester in the 60s and it sounds like a Stanier whistle to me. It was recorded from the real thing for...
Sounds like a Stanier hooter to me.
The blower is located in the smokebox at the front. It's pointed straight up the chimney so that when it's on it creates a vacuum in the smokebox....
They allow water to flow from the tender to the injectors, devices which squirt water into the boiler. To do so you would then open the injector...
I've just tried it on the ps4 and got the same result. You can restart the engines on the move but they shut down again when you try to get up to...
Strange that using the blower on full is causing the pressure to fall. In real life that would have exactly the opposite effect. The blower's...
In real life I'd put the injector on to put some more water in the boiler. That would quieten things down but we can't do that yet.
I was hoping the signalling would get an upgrade too. It suffers too much from "false red" syndrome at the moment. You'll get a yellow, do a...
They are extremely loud in real life. However a decent fireman would do his best to avoid letting the safety valves lift because it wastes coal...
I'm still on PS4 and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Driving is so absorbing that I haven't really noticed anything too jarring. We're all going to...
At the top right hand corner above, you should see a "support" button. Hit that and fill in the form.
Thanks friend. As I said, it's not perfect but well worth £25. To be honest, I was so engrossed in what the engine was doing I didn't have much...
It's been quite emotional finally getting some steam locomotives in tsw2. In 1958 I was 12 months old. My first experience of trains was screaming...
[ATTACH]Sarawak leaving Runcorn for Chester.
Wot, no Shovell? :)
That's wonderful news, thanks for replying. It's back on my day one shopping list. I hope there's a fix for Liverpool to Crewe before long.
Could someone from Dovetail please confirm that the locomotives and stock from Spirit of Steam will make rail joint sounds if run on Northern...
This was definitely a first day purchase for me but the lack of track sound is a bit of a disappointment to say the least. If the problem is with...
Very excited about the arrival of steam on a 50s route but did I hear Matt say there was no rail joint sound? I hope I got the wrong end of the...
This service is the empty stock of the 6 car excursion train, Saturday Special Return, 1830 from Stalybridge. It has never appeared in the...
Banking was used a lot out of Manchester Victoria up Miles Platting incline. It would be an interesting feature for a "Steam Legends" type dlc...
And they've already built the approach to Liverpool Lime Street. ;)
The line from Manchester Victoria to Bury would be a nice addition to NTP. It's about ten miles long, used side contact,1200v, third rail...
The track looks much better after the update to the update. Nice to see the signals at Darlington lit up as well.
[ATTACH]This signal at Darlington has not been lit since day one either. D895 I think it is.
Your request for feedback about the appearance of the track implies that nobody has bothered to plug in a PlayStation or xbox and have a look....
It could do with more services on the fast lines, express parcels or semi fasts stopping at Slough for example. One train an hour in each...
