You could add water cranes and coal towers to the route. Actually the sensible thing to do would be to clone the route and add cranes and coaling...

Oh... If anyone needs me I'll be over here.

There's a Middleton Shuttle shunting scenario in the Workshop. I have it marked as complete though I don't recall running it. It is described as...

I suggest that it would be worth checking to make sure you actually got the money back.

You can sometimes see the driver in the wrong cab- in fact you certainly will if the scenario involves changing ends.

I admit I didn't keep it for long. The Amstrad version didn't look any better than this because, even though it was running on a much more...

I had this (but on Amstrad CPC6128): [MEDIA]

Is this the one with Great British Railway Journeys? If so you'd have done better to get that even if you had all the other routes. To anyone...

Stainmore, Shap and Eden Valley from Steam Sounds Supreme is a fine achievement with a generous selection of BR steam era rolling stock. The...

My introduction to this was the Ladybird How It Works book. It was crystal clear and I'd recommend it to anyone.

I wonder where you took that photo'.

The Class 56s were so good that Foster Yeoman bought their own locomotives rather than continuing to hire them and replaced eleven of them with...

They just went ahead and started creeping their over-size load across the railway without bothering to check if there was a train coming then got...

You should be able to do it easily in Quick Drive which sort of a sandbox mode where you can drive (almost) anything anywhere- just choose the...

This is a bit before your preferred era but The Weardale and Teesdale Network in the '60s includes the 08 and there are shunting scenarios for it...

I think the answer depends on what sort of compromises you are prepared to make. I got started in TS (2016) using an i3 laptop with only the...

Worth noting that there are some DLC that specifically use num-pad keys for certain functions so even if this is sorted out there might be issues...

The route closed in the early '60s and, apart from DMUs, seems to have been entirely worked by steam. Route availability was also limited due to...

I'll second that- a stunning achievement and I'm not particularly a steam enthusiast so, while the generous selection of kettles included is not...

To anyone who's interested Von Ryan's Express is on BBC2 tomorrow afternoon (as I type- Wednesday 21) at 3:05. ...and yet somehow I missed The...

I stand corrected. Perhaps I was conflating it with another site.

I bought TSW having decided it was coming along enough to be interesting, worth supporting and had a bright future just long enough before TSW2...

No actual experience with G2A but I understand they're reputable and they have a sale on at the moment so that might be a good place to look....

Didn't think of that TBH but there's a bit of a pissing contest going on there and the mod' is threatening to kill the thread so on balance...

For TS? Yeah- oughta do.

Steam counts the amount of time you spent using TS no matter what route or other DLC you were using.

The West Somerset Railway route is a steam line and it's one of a few routes for TS that you don't actually need to have TS to run- it's...

Beautiful line. I went to the NYMR by train once and the ride from Boro to Goathland was slow but every bit as as enjoyable as the time I spent on...

You could get it by buying TS2017. Steam keys for older editions of TS can be found from resellers- caveat emptor but they're usually pocket...

*Cough* Class 70. To my mind the first batch of railcars with their rounded streamlining were more pleasing to the eye. I remember riding one on...

My favourite loco' is the Deltic (Class 55). I was aware of them but didn't even see one until I first came to County Durham. Moved here in '81...

There's an extensive post advocating just this somewhere IIRC. The Metro is an interesting mix of the new (well newish- the central section is...

Hello from old Durham. You will need to amplify- what sort of difficulties?

It's not the cornucopia that was on offer from Humble a few years ago but a good deal. Another way into TS is to look for third party seller with...

An apprentice signalman in a rural signal-box was being quizzed by his superior. “Two trains are approaching the passing loop but one of the...

Nothing I want actually but I'll join in: Once upon a time there was a family of three bears who lived in a dear little cottage in the woods....

Presuming you installed TS through Steam, either simply by buying it there or as a key from a third party seller which you activated in Steam,...

There's been some speculation that Green Arrow may benefit from the work of the A1 Steam Trust in Darlington which is currently building the new...

The brakes work differently on different trains and loco's. I'm going to describe things as if you're using the HUD as it's easy to visualise. On...

Yup. I've been to Middlebrough. It's a nice enough place but not where I'd expect the Rapture to start. [ATTACH]

Oh it's a laptop is it? Well if it's got a Thunderbolt port you could hook up an external GPU which can be anything up to a top of the range...

Intergrated graphics have come a long way and AMD's tend to be better than Intel's but I think it will still struggle even with the graphics...

Good advice when considering any route. I do live in the area and remain impressed. It's not perfect, the most noteable omissions to my mind are...

Just a note that W&T does not include all of the main S&DR route just the section between Shildon and Darlington. The line, the bit that was...

I've barely gotten started in it. No intention of getting TSW3 yet.

To be completely clear you can't buy older editions in Steam but you can buy Steam keys for older editions through third parties which you can...

Minis and laptops have the same kind of advantages (size, portability) and limitations (cooling and power mainly as a result of thier size) and...

Don't forget we live in a world where a food company feels it necessary to put a label on its product saying, "Warning: Contents will be hot after...

IRL wouldn't there be temporary warning signs out and and notice of work for drivers on the route? You wouldn't just find yourself bearing down on...
