I do think the "simplified" controls are going to cause some level of confusion even amongst the younger players who aren't fighting the muscle...
Really been having fun with this so far. A novelty for sure but having Thomas available in free roam creates so many opporunities for "world tour"...
A couple things from playing the first two scenarios and a quick spin in free roam. Diesel's cab doors aren't solid on the inside. You can go...
If you got the free version of TSW5 and own WSR at all then I believe you're all good. If you haven't done so already you may need to download...
Pleasant surprise this is coming so soon! It's a real shame the Thomas stock is incompatible with other TSW stuff but I suppose there's probably...
Cathcart is by far my favourite and most played of the three but I can absolutely understand folk not enjoying a commuter route with so much...
Something I'll be very curious about is what they've done with Diesel. In the show, the steam engines all have realistic cab interiors and from...
We had a quiet few weeks and I knew the complaining would kick off again the moment any further update was made on this. £19.99 for 2 locos and 4...
Will the Thomas & Friends locos and rolling stock couplings be compatible with other existing chain-link coupling stock in the game?
I honestly suspect £24.99. The pack has 2 new locos and 2-4 new pieces of rolling stock depending on how you want to count the variations....
Shamelessly jumping in. I believe that's the CoolProps Thomas, a recent-ish Japanese replica of the prop from the later live-action seasons....
I wasn't around when the holiday express DLC launched so I never saw the community reactions to that, but I do find it a bit ridiculous folk are...
The interview with Ian confirms they are working on a new control system for Thomas and Diesel. Matt uses the word "rewarding" to describe the...
Like many people, Thomas is what got me into trains in the first place, and the early seasons of the show are still something I cherish for some...
I'm fond of Cathcart anyway as a Glasgow local but there's something about it that feels like a cozy branch line route with a nice contrast...
Had a morning drive from Central to Neilston last night and either I've been asleep at the wheel all this time or the surrounding scenery has had...
Yeah I'm aware, I can see why my wording's confusing. I just wasn't sure if the Cathcart update would potentially come on Tuesday (apparently DTG...
This is far from the first time one of the digital marketplaces has prematurely made a game DLC or update available to the public ahead of time....
I look at something like Red Dead Redemption 2's railroad, which I only recently found out does let you operate the trains, and I can see the...
This isn't really to do with the route itself but I decided to try one of the Scotsman railtours last night to dip back into the route. Does...
I think I have to agree with what other people have said that DTG probably should have started steam with a smaller scale project. Small engine...
Update from Matt in the TOD4 thread: "There won't be any new stations or extra track mileage no, it's mostly about tod4 and overall improvements...
I would LOVE an extension but I get the feeling they would've announced that by now?? I get the feeling that if Cathcart is ever getting an...
I'm very curious to see the impact the upcoming Cathcart remaster and loco DLC will have in this regard, judging by the map comparison from a few...
If steam returns via DTG or a 3rd party, I'm hoping the first new loco is some sort of shunting/minor goods engine. I'll be a little disappointed...
I think the only thing not explicitly covered yet that I'd like to see if some updating in and around Central itself. The tracks are going to be...
Well it's a good day for Cathcart! Confirmed TOD4 lighting, much busier Glasgow Central, and various enhancements including new ballast and...
It does seem quite unusual that this brand-new loco is currently specifically made for a route now two iterations out of date. I'd have...
Today's Cathcart news feels tailor-made for me, I'm very excited to see my favourite home route getting a few new tweaks with this loco dlc! The...
I had a partial first run of the route the other night. For me the route has such extreme highs and lows that it really does feel like it was...
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I can believe it's possible some absolute freak combination of factors has lead to the wrong build being...
This idea is really only a half-measure compared to full route merging as I say. The routes would still be entirely disconnected and seperated via...
Much appreciated Alex, thanks for shifting the thread over!
Things like that are definitely what got me thinking about the Favourited Journeys idea as an alternative. Likely less difficult to implement and...
Ahh damn I thought it was! That's my own fault for coming straight from the Fife Circle thread and not double checking! A lesson for next time ;)
One of the things that has come up recently, especially with the reveal of Fife Circle, is the idea of merging routes which share a terminus...
It's only just occured to me that with Fife Circle we'll be able to have quite a significant adventure in and around the central belt. An almost...
Cathcart Circle is my most played route, unsurprisingly as a Glasgow girl. By all means I would absolutely love to see updates to it but I think...
I'm of course biased, but delighted to see more Scotrail content coming to TSW. When they mentioned Circle on the livestream I thought we were...
I definitely agree that the game is weird with the stopping markers. In stations it's not so bad since you have the entire length of the platform...
Didn't expect to learn something new about real-world railway workings from the thread! Fantastic, always delighted to learn more technical stuff...
Been a wee while since I made a thread on here, hello again! I've noticed some pretty consistent (or rather inconsistent) oddities with the speed...
Cathcart Circle is currently my most played route, it's a very cozy one to unwind with with the main loop and 2 branches East and West, so I'd...
If one of the routes is being done by Rivet I'd, shamelessly, love to see them do the Edinburgh - Glasgow Queen Street via Airdrie line since it's...
I think this is my first time buying a route on launch day! I've only had a couple hours playtime last night but overall I'm very impressed with...
I enjoy shunting personally. Especially if part of the task involved loading wagons via things like hoppers. The only things I find particularly...
Ultimately one of the bigger purposes of the new HUD was to get players using the locos' own gauges, call-outs etc rather than passively driving...
In my short time on the forum I've seen a fair handful of folk who seemingly get zero enjoyment from the games and insist they are completely done...
[SPOILER] A few from my first run along the ECML this afternoon!
Admittedly not had much playtime yet. Only had time last night for the introductions to ECML and Antelope Valley as well as the intro training for...
