You've broken the ice on this one, I haven't dared to try Shap with steam yet, best I could do so far was a Class 52 :o. I was wondering though,...
Guard mode seems to be broken on the Mk 3's, as whenever I buzz the driver and the train leaves I get a 'Service Failure: Guard left Train'...
Thanks a lot for your extensive comment and help so far, really appreciate it :) I'll try the higher boiler pressure next, see if that helps me....
Oh, I also attempted the run with 1470 Great Northern and 10 Mk 1's (custom formation) but my God does that thing have lackluster performance! I'm...
So I tried some runs today, with varying results... First of all, it really is fun to do, actually having to pay attention to your gauges and...
It seems they added Mk 1 NHA's in the middle of Mk 2 formations to substitute for Buffet cars
Here's hoping we also get some new coaches to go with the 86's (although the loco itself would be more than enough!). Mk 2 aircon and Mk 1 RBR anyone?
Let's hope the pack is undated then, because this was 214 in 1986: [IMG]
If you move Peak Forest 10 years forward half the route is closed...
I'll probably run both the Jub and the A3, see how they compare. I'm more of a Pacific type of man so I prefer the A3, such a shame they botched...
First the JT Class 87 and 86, now this! These third parties really make vintage electrics great again, and I love them for it! I can't wait to see...
Thanks, I will try my hand on it this weekend (or earlier if I find some spare time). I love steam and I hate how badly modelled it is in this...
How does one set up the loco's realistically for this? Is it just dampers to 25% or do I need to adjust anything else?
They were also on 26's, but built into the body: [IMG] Also the bottom of the plated over headcode box from a 86 can be seen in the screenshot,...
4 trains per hour (2 Intercity's and 2 Sprinter local trains) over the entire length and 8 trains per hour (4 Intercity 4 Sprinter) on the...
Class 123 and 124
There is no alternative really as they already developed the 87 for this route, so the only alternative would be a unit with no modifications or...
You'd rather have them not include a DMU for regional services?
The Expert BR 101 has that feature where not all doors open due to passenger movements, so we know it's possible...
469!! Glad to see that being one of the new nameplated (is that a word) 47's added with the route. And you are right, the effort they put in to go...
Best chance we have of seeing some of it is if modders make an enhancement pack for the route, otherwise I don't see it being used.
One of the JT devs said he does find Bristol in this time period interesting, so there is some slight hope there :o
I found it one day whilst reading an article on the different PTE liveries and imprinted it in my head because of how cursed it looked :o
Being Dutch and all I love these Civil Engineers liveries, no bias here :). Great job as always! You Brits even copied our mainline EMU livery...
Not sure if it's just me but the images aren't working for the rolling stock...
Let me guess, red buffers for 901 are impossible to do in the livery designer?
The 47's that had snow ploughs in 1986 and are featured in the route will have snowploughs, so probably some Eastfield's as well
Question regarding the freight updates on the new timetable: will there be HS2 construction trains using the siding at Euston?
We can only hope it's part of JT's rolling stock plan...
Just when I thought DTG wasn't an evil company the staff comes out in support of evil laughter :( Mwah..hah...hahah... hah
Hearing about a rolling stock plan is actually great news, that means thought is put into variety and what is most appropriate, and it means that...
That'll probably be the least scary thing to appear in Brighton at night...
If they go historically accurate then no unfortunately as 006 was painted in IC livery by 1986
I expected as much, not really worth making a separate livery for a single loco.
Congratulations on the baby, best of luck to you! :) And also, snow ploughs!!!!! That answers my question on the Discord too as I assume they'll...
Although Cumbrian Coast would be nice, the traffic might be an issue. I'd rather see them continue the WCML north to Glasgow, or make something...
Iirc they started appearing off-centre when the IC liveries also started appearing, so mid-80s.
Finally got around to trying the pack out, and I must say it feels like an actual route now. Plenty of traffic, correct formations and atmospheric...
So it seems a DTG announcement for this is planned for tomorrow (or today I guess) as JT said in FB comments that the price will be announced this...
I'd rather have a remaster/remake of Trans-Pennine made by DTG (with a Class 124 if dreams were real) with JT making actually new routes, even...
Does the AWS fitted Jubilee from WCL also layer on this tour?
Or DE1's :o
Oh I appreciate the limitations of the stock, it was more aimed at your original post wondering if it ever had black plated headcodes, as there...
Slightly off topic, but I love train nerding every now and again: Here is 47401 in 1976, still with numerical headcode boxes:...
I'll keep dreaming of a backdated timetable similar to DLGW, with loco-hauled trains to Groningen hauled by 1100, 1200, 1300 and 1600 Class loco's...
Dream route you ask? For me, I have this weird thing where I'd love to see more lines that no longer exist. We have Peak Forest Railway, which is...
Go even further back to 1960 and you'll have GCML expresses and whatnot ;) Seriously though, I'd love to see more modern diesel routes, and this...
Only if DTG significantly rework how steam physics function in this game, which will probably never happen...
1960s GEML with maroon AM9's anyone? I'd pay a lot of money for a early AC EMU in this game. That's just wishlisting for now though, while...
Considering they said the next update will be out 'in a couple of weeks or so' from the last that probably means they don't want to adhere to a...
