There’s a sign by the line side which gives you advance warning of a neutral section: [ATTACH] Start to run the tap changer down when you pass...
I think they were there even later than that, on Freightliners. Certainly though, when I was in that area in the mid-90s, you still saw as many...
Great that it looks as if it’s going to be an 86. That really adds to the variety on the upcoming route and (in my mind at least!) increases the...
Happy birthday, Samuel. :)
No, I don’t think there’s any gap in the AWS at Preston.
To be honest, I’m tempering my expectations because I haven’t made the switch to TSW5 yet, because of the reports that RailDriver doesn’t work...
Agreed, if I were a route developer I wouldn’t see other developers as ‘competition’. I think most people buy the routes they’re interested in...
But isn’t that the point? People will generally accept the odd small issue in a generally good quality product. Nothing's perfect, and people...
I voted no, but kind of for the opposite reasons the OP offered in the multiple ‘no’ options… I much prefer old trains to modern trains. To me, a...
Yes, if you go over the OSS loops above a set speed, it will trigger a TPWS brake activation.
I had another shot at Birmingham New Street - Lichfield Trent Valley tonight, this time ensuring I got the route via the flyover at Proof House...
Just to reassure you (and anyone else thinking of travelling by train in the near future!) this isn’t correct. You can’t get a route indicator...
If you press Ctrl and + together you will jump to the other cab (the same again to get back) which avoids having to walk down the platform. That's...
I don’t find Bakerloo line too bad once you get the hang of pressing ‘door close’ the right amount of time before the end of the station dwell...
If JT were to do anything East Coast, Deltics would be essential for me. Ideally the Deltic/HST transition era. I’d love a steam/deltic transition...
I do think there’s an argument that Newcastle to Edinburgh is the most interesting part of the ECML. It’s attractive and has constant changes of...
My only desire really is that they don’t switch to modern stuff. There are lots of developers focussed wholly on modern routes and trains...
I think that’s the most tantalising thing anyone’s ever said…
Well…I still haven’t switched from TSW4 to TSW5 because of the reported RailDriver issues. However, with Preston-Carlisle having got a release...
The timetable you’ve linked to shows the East Croydon - Milton Keynes services. Brighton, Gatwick, Northampton and Birmingham are shown to give...
The distant scenery question is a tricky one. When I saw the screenshot Jetwash included in the post I thought “yeah, that does look a bit...
Interesting point about the steam loco giving instant power. I hadn’t considered that, but the 47 really is quite awkward on those low speed...
Really interesting runs, Lamplight. It's impressive that the Jubilee only took 3 minutes longer than the 47. I suppose with the very low line...
No, you can’t go above 100%.
:D
Stunning screenshots - the best yet. I also love the mixed rakes of IC and blue/grey coaches which were characteristic of BR so for many years. It...
Growing up, as I did, in the late 80s and 90s, a lot of the diesel haulage was disappearing, and it was one's duty to seek it out wherever it...
I’d love to have some mk2 d/e/f coaches in the game, but not at the expense of the mk3s as running the 87s but not having the 110mph capability...
The only slight comfort I can give you is that you should be able to drive the Pendolino between Man Picc and Wilmslow, which will take slightly...
Particularly as those BR diesel locos are some of the best built in the game - generally they’re really well made. Hopefully JT will continue to...
RailDriver implementation is reported to be significantly worse, for those who use one. For that reason I’m going to claim it, but not install it....
BR often used to stop trains at stations where the platform was shorter than the train. If that was the case, it was common for the Driver to stop...
That’s interesting. It sounds as if the stopping point has been placed for a DMU in error. I don’t have the stopping points activated on the HUD...
Well…perhaps you have a point… [ATTACH]
For anyone who's interested, the first 20 minutes of the below video show Blackpool N - Preston in the modern day. It's a bit quicker out of...
There would be a degree of superelevation but it wouldn't be significant enough to be hugely noticeable on a 35mph curve.
I do agree. It always worries me a bit when railtours are presented as a solution to the fact that nearly all new routes are modern, but a lot of...
The issue isn’t that the markers are overpowering - it’s that they can’t be switched off. Every other element of the HUD can be, but these markers...
Am I right in saying that the 350 doesn’t have the suspension effects? Maybe trying driving that on WCML and see if you experience the problem.
Ah, great, thank you. I will take your advice and enjoy my cake.
Thanks Matt, that’s great to hear. For those of us who drive HUDless, any artificial visual intrusions are a real mood-killer. I appreciate the...
Thanks, but based on this thread that doesn’t seem to be everyone’s experience unfortunately. I appreciate the reminder about 17th Oct though....
Really useful that the RailDriver issue with TSW5 has been highlighted here - thank you all. I use TSW exclusively with RailDriver so I’ll be...
The moment when a game gets so good you could almost be at work... ;)
I think it ran one return Euston - Glasgow per day for a short time, for trial purposes. It wasn’t a timetabled service - it was additional to the...
It'll be interesting to hear whether the scenery is closely enough recreated for you to be able to maintain your orientation and pick out your...
Interesting. It sounds as if you managed to keep slightly closer to time than I did, so perhaps I lost my path and you didn’t. There are also...
The Preston to Lancaster section is, admittedly, fairly unexciting. Attractive enough, but fairly flat, fairly straight, and with no intermediate...
It’d be great to hear how you get on, on the other thread, Matt. I must admit, though, I’ve also been spending a lot of time on 45s and 47s - and...
Our experimentation in the ‘steam: a realistic challenge’ thread indicates that once the steam chest is at the maximum (indicated by the red mark...
