I haven’t done this one since GWE was first released but from memory, I think it’s the HST service where you switch ends at Acton yard and take it...
So it looks like East Coast and West Coast mainlines are the most popular. They would probably be my choice too but like some other people, I’d be...
It would be nice to more freight locomotives for UK routes. So far we’ve only had 66s and 37s on TVL. But there’s so much more freight locomotives...
Depends what you mean by recent but not really, late 2000s I believe. This is how HSTs have been stopping at Slough, for example, as only front 7...
[ATTACH] This is the Mk3 Central door locking panel. What Northernboy has said is spot on. GWR Mk3s had Selectice Door Opening as you can see....
This is the same in the UK too apart from London Underground. Drivers release or enable doors not open yet all doors open in TSW. Maybe they...
Signals to danger podcast. It’s done by a TPE (Transpennine Express) station manager which looks at very serious rail disasters in the UK. I’ve...
You’ve dug out a thread from over 3 years ago :D (Dec 2017) The member who started this thread hasn’t even been active for months.
Well yes, likewise there’s countless areas where flashing yellows should be in place but they’re not. But now that they’ve got it working for one...
Sorry I should have made it clear, Class 93s aren’t out yet. They have been ordered by Rail Operations Group and from my understanding, they are...
Lots of freight traction apart from 66s: 37, 57, 67, 68, 70, 86, 88, 90, 93 And then you’ve got engineering trains and multiple units that are...
Sorry, you’re right. I completely butchered that one :):)
Hahaha, that’s udderly hilarious :)
No problem, it’s nice to know it’s appreciated. :) Very impressed with the station stops, some of them being almost textbook! E.g. 15:25 station...
Personally, I don’t get why people are so fussed about “it’s the wrong era” therefore we can’t have 800s for example. If it’s 387s from Paddington...
It would be nice to be able to couple/uncouple Class 395 units. Currently, you’re unable to do so because if you try coupling up, you won’t be...
Just wanted to update that they have got the first 2 points working now which is good news. PRI indicators working on GWE and flashing yellows...
It’s fine, I didn’t mean to come across as arrogant. I suspect you’d prefer a Class 390 cab given the choice :)
Ok, fair enough :)
No offence but it’s easy for you to say playing a simulator, real life drivers have complained about the limited visibility. Imagine doing 150...
I’d hate to be a driver on these units- look how limited the view is out of the window! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I’ve compiled a list of the most popular routes and traction that people want to see in the U.K. There’s at least one thread a week on each of...
If you don’t know what PRIs are, I’ve added a brief description at the bottom Was testing out the 395 on the GWE Route for the first time this...
The only thing I would add though which might not be obvious is that even though you can run at passenger speeds when you’re running light engine,...
Beginning your journey from a stand at the station, you went straight to max power. No reason why you can’t go into full power pretty quickly...
Post a video of any part of your train driving on TSW and I’ll give you tips to improve your handling skills and make it more realistic. It be...
I would like to see an automatic guard mode where on appropriate routes, the doors automatically open/close and the bell/buzzer is automatically...
Air brake (or rather electropneumatic braking) doesn’t work either. It only works when you put it into emergency. They should program it such...
Some do, some don’t. Personally, I’ll happily do it. However, some train spotters have used rather unquestionable techniques to get drivers to...
If you mean in comparison to real life- usually the front pantograph is raised and the rear pantograph is down. The rear pantograph can be used...
Interesting point. In the UK, most of the trains we have are old locomotives/units from British Rail days. The only modern units in TSW are the...
The fast line platforms are not disused platforms. They are used regularly particularly during late night/early morning when there’s engineering...
Already in the game but HSTs. Dominated InterCity travel across the UK for decades and looks great in so many liveries. A delight for passengers...
The Red Cross is where you are in the picture. And the highlighted blue line is where it goes- as WonterRail says, it goes to Temple Mills depot....
In the example below, there are 2 bogies. In America, bogies are called trucks so it means the same thing. Each bogie/truck has 3 axles. As there...
1. In the United States, a truck is what we in the UK would call a bogie. So the lead truck would be the front bogie (which is the front 3 axles...
Nice suggestion, you’ve also got the option of sprinters as well as Class 67/Mk4/DVT which TFW run a couple services a day from Holyhead to...
Wow, looks very impressive. Some great locos, beautiful scenery and wonderful history! Definitely has that quintessential American railroad feel.
DOO (Driver only operation) monitors so the driver is able to self dispatch- I.e. close doors and essentially give himself/herself the ‘right...
I take it you mean the AWS (automatic warning system). The alerter on US locomotives would be similar to the Driver Safety Device/Driver Vigilance...
That would be my choice too. The Class 91 will be a very unique locomotive and driving experience in TSW. The Class 800s are very similar to the...
Class 91/Mk4 [ATTACH] It will be the first AC loco in the game in the UK.
In no particular order: East Coast Mainline- London Kings Cross to Peterborough/Leeds/York/Newcastle/Edinburgh. Traction: Class 91/HST/800/700...
This has been the case since day one of release and you can add it to the rest of the signalling/infrastructure issues which have yet to be...
It would be a brilliant route to see. But to really appreciate the route, they can’t just have the skeleton service that they have on most other...
With regards to running out of air, this is the exact reason why you have a parking brake. You use the parking brake when the wagon/loco is going...
If the system wasn’t fail safe, I would agree. You would need to manually check each gauge to ensure you’re getting correct braking force for each...
So if you had a 12 coach train (e.g. Class 395), you would like to see 12 brake cylinder gauges in the cab? :o Not only would it be a mess and an...
My answer from a thread from a few days ago :)
The op made another thread on the 166 yesterday, I replied to him on there :)...
Separate names with a comma.
