Can you look up the basics? We already know the CPU is good, the GPU less so (though still good enough to make TS fun). The other important...
HDMI probably but only you know what video outputs the laptop has and, for that matter, what inputs the telly has- Display Port and VGA are other...
An older edition might come with a bundle of routes that interests you more than the current offering and, in a couple of cases, include routes...
Since you don't mention a GPU I'm guessing there isn't one so that's it for TSW. TS on the other hand can be quite playable on a system that...
There's one no pedestrians sign that that I always think of as, "no Bruce Forsyth impressions".
The line to Lakeside is unfinished, all the included rolling stock is steam age, a couple of the included scenarios are troublesome (and it's a...
A quick note for anyone who has Steam Sounds Supreme's Stainmore, Shap and Eden Valley route but may not have checked their e-mail recently- check...
If you use an external POV and hover the mouse over a coupling the pointer should change to indicate that you can uncouple it that way with a...
I have TSW (not TSW2- don't get me started) but haven't used it much so I'll let someone else talk that up in detail- it's certainly prettier and...
I'd second a lot of these recommendations especially (for early BR) Weardale and Teesdale, WLoS (steam only and who doesn't like a 5MT but I'd add...
All Virgin liveried and branded DLC for TS was removed from sale a couple of years ago at Virgin's stipulation when they lost their franchises so...
Wait- I shot this ten years ago? :o Gadzooks- I shot this ten years ago! :( Thanks for pointing that out... I should think that Wikipedia is...
I'm not familiar with the current bundle but its likely that there are no Standard or Free Roam scenarios included which is the case with most new...
Delighted. I'm not sure why but the file does get rewritten a lot which must increase the chances of it getting broken so this is a...
My first thought was a broken Workshop scenario but if you're just getting started in TS that's unlikely. Much info' here though if you have...
This is certainly not a definitive answer but I do all that by having the automatic fireman on (in the gameplay settings). It has to be said that...
The Weardale and Teesdale Network in the '60s is the first route I ever used in TS and remains my favourite.
You might mention your current system's spec's but if it runs TSW well it should be able to cope with TS.
I hadn't noticed that but then I don't drive steam very often though it's nice to have for variety. I've certainly got some steam DLC where the...
Another dumb question (these are beginner level questions so far but the impression is that you're new to driving steam). Are you adjusting the...
Also, once you get going, are you moving the brakes up to the "running" position? I'm not up to much when it comes to kettles but I understand...
A route won't show up under the Career, Standard or FreeRoam tabs unless you have scenarios for it that can be listed there. If you are sure it...
There was an update recently meaning in the last few days and then another one yesterday. Dunno what they were because I only noticed them after...
Pretty sure there's a loo in some of them.
I'd've thought Clayton would go to some lengths to avoid reminding people about their previous attempt at loco' building.
Just that. Once you've got everything set up you don't have to be on line to run TS but the Steam client does have to be running- if it isn't and...
Oh? I didn't get all the freebies at the time (I got started with TS2016) or as updates but I only had to ask Dovetail for them.
No- after TS2016 was released there was a series of good giveaways called TS Rewards that came out for the core routes. They've all been added to...
There's also the X-Box game bar built in to Windows. You can bring it up for with Windows+G to set paths and so on and start and stop recording...
Or in my case when the first episode aired and within ten seconds I blurted out, "Annie and Clarabel aren't four-wheelers!" with the same mixture...
I bought TSW when I thought it was getting interesting and wanted to support its development and then, just as the refund window closed, TSW2 came...
I've seen mention of a merge of WCML North and WCML Over Shap both of which are good routes in their own right. They have a '70s/'80s setting as...
A correction. The S&DR was built with locomotives in mind and operated them from day one, along the main line east of Shildon at least, on the...
Oh agreed- much better to see one hooning along a main line than pootling about on a preserved railway. I thought it worth mentioning the WSR...
They've been in preservation around twice as long as their revenue earning careers- surely there have been Deltics on the West Somerset Railway?...
I suspect I'd be tarred and feathered if I linked my video again but it's the Deltics (Class 55) for me. [ATTACH] The preserved Class 55 Deltics...
I'm not sure about temporary though they were certainly not expected to run for as long as they did (like most British trains it must be said)....
Welcome aboard. There's some discussion of Russian outline freeware here:...
Never mind the Yanks- I've lived in County Durham for around 40 years now and I still miss some things people say. My mother is from Liverpool...
I hope you're referring to something other than the Pendolinos which are not old and neither am I!
Hello to both you southerners from County Durham ;). (Looking forward to comments from Northumberland and Scotland.)
I think someone suggested this a while ago- a self contained attractive looking narrow gauge system IIRC which looked like it would make a good route.
Not familiar with this unit but is there a master key? Manuals for most DLC can be found linked in their Store page and for those you own should...
I've never used the Workshop tab to look for items- the way it lumps everything into one big list just annoys me. You can just look though the...
There is a dodge in TS which lets you get around missing dependencies. When the scenario starts you get the menu screen saying "can't load...
The Deltics are bulky but surprisingly light especially for a 3,300HP loco'- just shy of 100 tons IIRC or just over 100 tonnes.
No idea why you can't see them listed under the Career, Standard and FreeRoam tabs as appropriate. Come to think of it I have a few scenarios...
J.S. Bach- St. Matthew Passion. A three hours German oratorio that proves that the Devil definitely does not have all the best tunes. I used to...
Off topic I'd've thought but there are file recovery tools some with free versions. Google will list several. Pick one and use it as soon as...
Am I right in thinking that the Deltic engines were used to power the pumps? I heard that someone acquired some engines from a US fire department...
