WCML MK-Euston 1
Workington had loads of interesting traffic, absolutely! Barrow had next to nothing in comparison, unless you count 105s and the occasional 104 on...
Nah. In the software world there's this thing called "optimism" that gets in the way of real life. Can't remember how many projects I've been on...
Matt said something in the stream about them discovering problems with the 350 and them not wanting it to bounce off the track. Suggests that...
Just watched the stream ... IMHO it looks pretty good on the whole. I don't have the 710 yet, so the emptyish timetable doesn't bother me so...
Yup, I spent a *lot* of time on Preston station in the early 80's, and the TSW version is bang on IMHO. Work of art! Can't wait to see how...
I’m going to be contentious and suggest leaving Windermere for a later extension pack (hopefully including the Coast line, at least the Carlisle...
For me the Free Roam added a whole new dimension to the game. Best new feature by far! Dumping a 33 in the middle of Peak Forest and trying to...
I’d love to see this happen - it’s a great route IMHO but the lighting now is terrible and I just can’t play it any more. Way too dark in the...
Pretty hyped for this TBH - it’s my line into London these days, and Southall shed currently sticks out like a sore thumb in the game. Absolutely...
It’s a hell of a list… an unexpected stand-out on re-reading it, too - I’ve been wanting to see inside that box at Carnforth for as long as I can...
Maybe we’re all barking up the wrong tree here… I know JT are currently doing the Blue Era proud, but what if they’re working with WCR on...
Always had a soft spot for them - not at the time, admittedly, as they were pretty much the only passenger action in Workington and they bored the...
Bristol out to Bath and Westbury would be fun!
There’s a nice livery idea - 31 in RR :D
This is looking like an excellent bit of DLC to me.Chuffed!
100 of them, yup. The Duff of the AC world :D
OMG, just saw this on JTs site: "We have also extended the main line north from Carlisle Citadel station to Kingmoor Yard and Depot." More than...
IIRC they started off with the cross arm / "diamond" pantograph. For a while 87009 was unique because it had the Stone-Faiveley type as found on...
If it's set in the early 80s there'd be a ton of stuff to do just around Carlisle itself, like ECS to and from Upperby, departmental movements...
Closure of the freight bypass at Carlisle, Upperby CSD and transfer of Steamtown to WCR are the major changes that spring to mind. Currock wagon...
Absolutely! The sounds would be the hardest part IMHO - the 86 would be an easy win, as they sounded pretty much indistinguishable from 87s,...
Carlisle is my (very!) old stomping ground - lots of 47s and 40s on this part of the WCML in the 80s. 45s were relatively rare but did show up on...
Class 87 and Carlisle has totally made my day :o:):o:):D
Whoa - game changer! Loving this - just tried Blackpool - Preston in the 47 and the Azuma from Doncaster to Grantham, loving how the trains come...
Not so fussed about another London line, but it's high time Berlin had some representation. The S-Bahn Ring route (S41/S42) would be brilliant!
Doh! 6c == lower case L, yup, sorry! Must be time for me to retire, my eyes clearly don't work any more :-)
The IS IS ?? Anything to do with this line? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis_railway_line Or cracked wheels?...
That looks like a lot of fun, I'm going to give it a go :-)
:-) :-) :-) Not really my point though, I was wondering if anyone else here never really bothered with the night runs is all.
Is it just me, or does anyone else avoid night time runs ? I'm doing the "Winter Wonderland" scenario on ECML at the moment and it's just a total...
St Annes is a real work of art isn't it! You can practically smell that building :-)
Preston station in particular is an absolute work of art - loving this route :-) :-) :-)
Cumbrian coast would be an interesting route on the whole - bit dull as far as passenger workings are concerned (old Derby 108s worked the line in...
WCML Preston-Crewe gets my vote - a nice comparison to the Crewe of SoS, plenty of scope for some fast electric runs, reuse of existing assets...
Oh yes. Still need a top & tail 27 pack for Edinburgh-Glasgow and a 25/3 for some mad thrashing around Lancashire IMHO :) And an AC electric (my...
Loving the additional liveries and nameplates for the 47s! Tiniest of niggles - the original 47/4s up to 47555 had the ETH box hanging over the...
I seem to have developed a new obsession - rounding up the strays. Started off with a pair of 37s at Manchester Victoria with a vague idea of...
Seems not at the moment, but you can Go Via and just set up each intermediate stop as you go. Works for me, most of the time - occasionally I get...
Running freight in daylight I an instant win in my book…. especially now that I can pick a longer rake, double-head, top & tail….
Free Roam mode in TSW4 is an absolute game changer. If you want to run a 150 on this route I’ll bet you will be able to*. I just ran one on SoS :)...
Struggling to get green diesels to do anything on SoS Free Roam -- I spawned a couple of 47s + Mk1s (from WSL) in Lime Street - couldn't get them...
Still missing the 20, 31, and 33 - was hoping this would have been a quick fix :o On the plus side, Free Roam and the PC Editor are massive wins....
Loving free roam! Finally made it to Toton in the daylight. Bit underwhelming at the moment though :D [IMG]
Hmmm it worked for me, I just turned right and picked the nearest seat on the left though.
Playing the "Whiteout" scenario I've had the train "die" on me on the approach to Altach, just as I pass over a small bridge before the station....
Driving with the new minimal HUD - loving it! Stations and scenery along the route are really good - Doncaster especially looks absolutely...
Not sure how to record a video right now - I’ll have a go though, and post here if I succeed. Won’t be for a few days though, away this weekend!
Haven't played North Wales Coast Line for ages so I can't remember how it used to look, but I tried the 1A23 0855 Holyhead - Euston career trip to...
Challenge accepted! Excellent post
