Damn bro, he must have brown eyes by now...
Just wait until you try tying two locos with ploughs together, especially when the vac bag dummy is behind the plough blade. I never liked...
Yes, I agree, it was really clunky and a bit of a bodge. Watching the live stream they were using a mouse control and it seemed to be working...
I thought the stream was excellent last night, they made it interesting and showed off the features etc.
That's civilised, the guy I talked to used to carry broadsheet newspapers and would use the newspaper on the floor, wipe up using squares of the...
The Class 45 had a toilet from new, although whether or not you would want to use it would be a different matter. I did ask how drivers went to...
Yeah, I mean we've got a proper look at the new route AND the next update for Derail Valley drops on the 14th too. Where to go first?
I've had more use out of the Blackpool Route than any other route in TSW, the only problem is its a little short for my liking, this new WCML...
I can just see it, spawn in, sit for 45 minutes to be told the line is flooded so you're being replaced by a bus!
Mine is from a pic I really liked of a 123 and a 124 unit at Paragon in the early 80s, I really like the 124s with the wraparound windows,...
He even went to the trouble of uploading an avatar! I've been here since 2019 and I only cared enough to bother last week!
It was posted on there a few hours ago, DTG are pushing this WCML route quite hard.
I've never actually been through the engine room in a van, I assume there might be some controls we can play with in there, even if its just...
I think DTG missed a trick with not doing the 101, 37, 45, 47 & 40 in green as add ons to their steam routes personally.
Most of these byelaws are more holdovers from the Victorians and their sense of morality, singing was likely to prevent ladies overhearing bawdy...
I think JT are missing a trick here, a mk1 GUV model would be a HUGE addition for TSW5 on parcels trains, they were far more common than mk1 BGs,...
The idea of approach control is one of the older rules these days, going back to the days of semaphore signals and stepping down; only clearing a...
Ok, that's some simple questions with some very complicated answers! As a rule of thumb TPWS and TPWS overspeed loops are only fitted where there...
If that works you for in game, go for it. A lot of TOCs employ a defensive driving policy now where they often creep up to signals at that speed...
Absolutely, and most of these signals are fitted with TPWS now as well (in track circuited areas) which provides a more accurate calculation of...
In a word yes it can, the signal can remain at red until clearing to a yellow, a sub or a divergent route to ensure that the approaching train is...
Master key out in both cabs and train brake valve in shut down, loco brake set to release, handbrakes off, vacuum chambers emptied (if using air),...
I'd settle for arriving at Preston and having a relief loco put on the back, plus with the suitable routes we could do a few drags for fun too!
I like the idea of route hopping between this and Blackpool and doing some long distance stuff. I've just realised where that steeply graded line...
Are the coaches air braked and you're trying to use vacuum might mean you need to pull the strings on the coaches, or are the loco brakes on on...
With all the realism issues on TSW5 I'm not worried about tail lamps on sets, but each to their own.
Clicking the bracket on the back coach of your train on that route usually brings up an option for "Tail Lamp Auto" or similar so you can add or...
I agree entirely, another one to think about is that you don't actually HAVE to buy the route on day 1, you can wait, even if you want to put £1 a...
I know it's inappropriate but I kind of want to see Eastfield 20s with ploughs now too
From the Transport Act of 1968 to be exact, technically it is the same company as the Freightliner company we all know and love today and I...
Firstly, I'm glad they put me out of my misery for a release date on this, plus 6 hours of gameplay on 08s sounds like exactly the kind of thing...
Brilliant, thank you
I'm having a complete mental blank here, I can't find the drain valve for the vacuum chamber for switching from vac to air modes, could someone...
I have the same issue on PC
Same issue here but the problem later spread to the whole game, now uninstalled and redownloading
I've also had a couple of random Service Failure messages ending the game on timetable mode but I've not done anything wrong?
I agree, forgot to mention that above, when it suddenly started raining the route looked far better than the brilliant white sun
Got about an hour in so far, bit of playing about rather than getting too serious: Buck-eye couplings on mk1 coaches should be down by default...
[EDITED - Jan - Language]
Bonus points for putting there being flecks of toilet paper underneath the Mk1s though!
I mean it's not bad, definitely a start. Just stopped at Speke with a goods train to find that when I stopped the whole train tipped on its side!...
Ok, so I am trying to download a scenario from the CC, so far its been sat an hour with the little dots going round in circles on content overview...
Acronyms darling... ;) Does this help? https://gbslep.railmentor.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/LAAR-Mk24.pdf
Portugal had some fun stuff, Class 50 type things and stuff that looked and sounded a lot like a Cravens unit. They could take my money now for that
Suddenly the ped dlc becomes much more appealing, quite fancy a pair of those on ltp
So the locos have 4 brake settings: Vac Goods Vac Passenger (Pass) Air Goods Air Passenger (Pass) This basically controls how quickly the...
In the 80s it would have been very well lit, especially when they were flaring off from a couple of places. That torch can be seen for 25 miles...
It's irony fella, same with the comment about the beans on the shunters cabin wall
Well, there was one who was very pretty, red headed girl. Caught a bloke knocking her about in the station subway one night and managed to haul...
Hope folks don't mind a few general obervations on the Tees Valley route: 1. Not enough traffic uses the goods lines through Boro, should be a...
