Stratford on Avon and Midland Junction Railway (SMJ) - Great suggestion. I've been fascinated with this route ever since I read a series of...

I would love to see the Lotschberg route but unless it's set before the Lotschberg Base Tunnel opened (2007), you would spend a lot of time in the...

I know this thread is about the 484 and the IOW route, but have to agree about how Rivet could improve WCL, particularly adding a Valenta HST. The...

Oakville has so much unfulfilled potential. It should be a really good route and I'm just hoping that a "huge" update will do it justice at last.

Yes, you are right although I think it was actually called "The Maerdy Branch" back then before they changed the name to "Memories of Maerdy" but...

I think it was more likely to be 'Blue Coal' (the first one). I seem to remember changing the twin headcode box 37 for the centre headcode version...

Of course!

I had forgotten how good Maerdy is. I have both the original "The Maerdy Branch" and "Return to Maerdy" but haven't run on either for a long time....

I would love to see that. We already have a blue 'Western' in the Diesel Legends DLC, a 'correct; class 47 (i.e. no high intensity headlight), a...

With the problem with the 'save' function in some routes, I'm not sure I would ever finish a 100 mile route let alone one 300 miles long ...

You have summed up exactly what I feel about WCL. I cannot comment on the accuracy of the scenery, stations or the 150/1 because I didn't want to...

I seem to remember that when Mk 2d and 2e air conditioned coaching stock was introduced on the WR in the 1970s, the Mk 1 buffet coaches had to be...

I'm still not sure the 36 miles is the biggest single drawback. My biggest concern is Crewe to Liverpool set in 1958 without a Black 5 or a Jinty...

I had the same problem. I had to get a new PC after the old one failed completely and it wasn't worth replacing any of the failed components. I...

Only that the greater part of Rosenheim to Salzburg is in Germany but there would be the opportunity to introduce Austrian motive power to TSW.

Wouldn't a German/Austrian route like Rosenheim to Innsbruck or Rosenheim to Salzburg be a good way of getting another country into TSW? OBB...

I have a real dilemma with Diesel Legends. I do get frustrated with some of the unprototypical locomotives/rolling stock included with some routes...

Yes, if additional DLC or substitute layers are provided, DTG need to make them accurate for the period and the route.

Absolutely agree on both counts. If Rivet/DTG had announced a Valenta powered HST as a future DLC, I would have probably bought WCL when it was...

I was really looking forward to this route; at last, a standard gauge Swiss route in TSW2. However, Rivet has done exactly what they did with West...

Regardless of the date of any of these photos, the one thing which should be obvious to everyone (including Rivet and DTG) is that they all...

I agree with you that I would like to see a Valenta HST on a route it can run at 125 mph. The difficulty I have is that the timetable for WCL...

I just like things to be right ...

I was impressed with the changes they have made to the look of the class 37 but I do have an issue with the livery. I don't know whether the loco...

Do you really mean that? In the early 1990s, all the Paddington-Penzance trains (except the ‘Night Sleeper’) were Valenta HSTs. I agree the GWR...

When it was announced, I was really looking forward to a route set in Cornwall and early 1990s sounded good because of the variety of passenger...

I’m actually fairly optimistic about the route Rivet is developing but I still have concerns about the operational potential. In a post on the PC...

The Met-Cam 101s were still being used on the Plymouth-Penzance trains into the 1990s and could be used as a layer on WCL....

A couple of pictures of the 'real' 37521 in Cornwall I've taken from my 1998 video (sorry about the video screenshot quality again). Both were at...

I posted this on the 'Penzance to St Austell & St Ives' thread under PC Discussion if it helps: Although Laira's 37s were 37/5s, they did not...

Although I think both Sherman Hill and Horseshoe Curve will be good additions to TSW, I'm disappointed (again) that there is no decent Canadian...

From my days on Lostwithiel station in the late 80s/early 90s, I remember the Cardiff-Penzance services were in the hands of 155s and one of the...

I thought it might be helpful to show the sort of passenger services which ran on the line between St Austell and Penzance. I haven't got a copy...

You are absolutely right, of course. When I looked at the track diagrams, I missed the single track from Long Rock to the station because it...

The single track started at Burngullow Junction, 2 miles from St Austell, and extended to Probus, about 5 miles from Truro and 7 miles from...

Ballast in the early 1990s would come from Meldon Quarry near Okehampton in Devon. Both loaded and empty CCE (Civil Engineer) trains would be...

In the timescale the route is set (early 1990s), the Cornish class 37s were all based at Laira (Plymouth) and shedded at St Blazey. They were...

Much as I welcome the Turbot and the Seacow they are making for the route, these are not china clay wagons. However, they could be used on...

Perhaps I could repeat something I said on here some time ago. Although Laira's 37s were 37/5s, they did not have the same noses as the 37/5s in...

Yes, I agree they never said an HST would be included. But, can we have a route which runs from St Austell to Penzance without the...

Exactly. If there is no Valenta HST, what will be used for the Paddington-Penzance expresses?

In the early 1990s, the 37/5s were rarely seen west of Burngullow (2 miles west of St Austell). If the 37/5 is the 'diesel electric' in the route,...

It's good to see a Turbot and a Seacow in TSW. However, in the early 1990s, there was no scheduled freight traffic left west of Burngullow which...

I would love to see another Canadian route but one set on the East Coast. Anything between Toronto and London ON would be good, even a TS version...

Having said all that, by 1997 class 37 37521 which was one of the split headcode rebuilt 37s (as TVL) was at Laira in EWS livery and named English...

Although Laira's 37s were 37/5s, they did not have the same noses as the 37/5s in TVL. Those were in the series 37501 to 37521 and rebuilt from...

I meant to put a link to one of my previous posts about Blackpool Works and the freight wagons handled there:...

In the Rivet forum post you linked to, Jasper says "But we will have the (china clay?) factory near Treewon, which will allow a lot more gameplay...

I agree that china clay workings west of St Austell are limited to the Burngullow (Blackpool Works) and Parkandillack/Treviscoe/Kernick works on...
