Yes, I have noticed that the brakes on the 101 are definitely weaker than they were in TSW 2020. On my first Leeds/Huddersfield run in TSW2 I...
I had the red signal problem on the Tees Valley last night. Tried to set up a steel train from Platform 4 at Darlington to Lackenby but couldn't...
I know, a friend has just bought the Stainmore route for his PC. 100+ miles, loads of goods vehicles, sidings you can actually use, steam...
There are two reasons I bought TSW2. 1. The old routes were "preserved" and not abandoned. 2. Scenario planner, which finally held out the...
I know what you mean. It's like that buffeting effect you get if you drive your car at high speed with just one window open.
I've noticed that the sound of the class 20 is vastly improved if you open both windows and doors. I've had that muffled sound you describe when...
The class 47 on Trans Pennine now sounds much better than it did engine wise. I find I'm driving it more than anything else at the moment....
I was excited to try the scenario planner on the Trans Pennine but when I found how limited the possibilities were (only one useable platform at...
Soon after I bought Trans Pennine and started driving the 101, I suggested that instead of the artificial noise the game makes to wake you up and...
In the early 1970s I used to see pairs of them in BR blue double heading the London Euston to Glasgow trains out of Crewe. That stopped once the...
If anyone is having trouble with the brakes on the 47 I've found that when putting the brakes back into the running position, using L1, you've got...
I'd forgotten about that, thanks. I know it puts you back in the cab but would it work if you hadn't been in the cab in the first place? I was on...
I recently failed to get into a class 45 at Huddersfield for the same reason. This was on TSW 2020 though, I'd hoped that it would have been fixed...
I've had problems with this. I remember it was caused by people inadvertently putting the brakes into release when using the L1 button on the PS4...
Yes, I have noticed that there is a lack of track sounds. With the outside camera I could hear the sound of the coach bogie but nothing from the...
The lack of useable platforms doesn't only affect trains leaving Manchester of course. My intention was to have my train passed by several trains...
I think they are both excellent and definitely worth buying. They add cement and limestone traffic to the line as well. The Limestone trains which...
I was also tempted across to TSW2 by the possibilities of the scenario planner. It's turning out to be rather frustrating. Only one platform you...
I really hope that one day we'll get something a bit older than 1983. They already have the stock to do it now. Goods trains back often consisted...
I usually drive from one end of the route to the other but fancied a change so spawned at Huddersfield, 1545, Autumn clear weather. The Manchester...
The Tees Valley is my favourite route too. I think the reason I've spent so many hours on it is the variety of destinations you can end up at. My...
It's only natural to lose interest in something which never changes. The timetable runs like clockwork and has to because so many people would get...
I agree. Driving from Manchester Victoria to Leeds without the weather changing at least twice is somewhat unrealistic. :)
No problem, it gave me an excuse to fire the class 40 up again. Glad you're enjoying it.
You had me worried so I've just repeated the exercise. I selected the 0748 train, loco hauled train to Leeds. Jumped out, ran across the tracks to...
So I wasted my time submitting a ticket for the Cement Circle scenario? It's not getting fixed. When Tees Valley makes the jump to TSW2 is there...
If Cement Circle isn't fixed then I won't be buying TSW2. I don't think they'll walk away and leave TSW1 broken but if they do, I'm out.
The Tees Valley has still got loads of potential but as it's been "preserved" what we've got is all we're going to get. Very disappointing but...
Really? I've never noticed that! I must investigate. :o
The switch in the cab turns on all the saloon lights in the train, including the centre car.
I wish Dovetail would stop referring to multiple units as "locos". The only locomotives on offer here are the ones on the Sand Patch Grade.
No, it's certainly not very good. I only suggested it as a way to see gauges, it's rubbish when it comes to distant views.
Buying that keyboard was the best thing I ever did. It makes changing views so much easier and quick access to removing HUD items without going...
You can zoom using the PS4 Accessibility options. Go to Settings, Accessibility, (I think) and enable zoom. You can then zoom by pressing the PS...
Yes you can. First you need to get a USB keyboard and connect it to your PS4. I bought a wireless one for about £11 on eBay. With this you can...
I have found myself with half an hour to kill so I've just recreated the Trans Pennine example. I drove the 0748 Manchester Victoria to Leeds...
If I knew the service number I'd give it but I don't and I won't able to find out this evening. I'll investigate and post my findings but it won't...
The instance I described is a scenario but it also happens in the timetable. For example, the trains coming down from Lackenby steelworks are...
On the way down from Standedge tunnel into Huddersfield for example, with power off, I put it into initial application when the speed reaches 65...
I have experience of the signalling system altering priority. In timetable mode, AI trains that normally wait until your train has passed will be...
