It’s odd that Rose Hill services weren’t included between Man Picc and Hyde North, using the 150. Was there a reason for this, and could they be...

The Rivet railtour is rubbish because it only comes with 5 coaches, which is completely unrealistic and makes it very dull to drive with such a...

I’ve always wondered why they didn’t declare the year as being a few years earlier. That would have taken away the 101/Pacer argument and I doubt...

Yes, if only he’d called the thread “who comes first, gets the cake” we’d have found it no problem. :)

I’ll put you down as a ‘maybe’ then. ;)

I remember there was a run on Cathcart where if you deliberately ran a bit slowly at the start, you missed your path at the junction and got...

Yes, RailDriver works very well with Diesel Railcar Simulator and, as you say, you can configure it however you want. If you haven't seen it...

I’ve written a guide to driving the 101, which includes a section on braking. I’m sure a lot of it will be things you know already, but there may...

Certainly it’s accurate that you need to pass over each TPWS grid below a certain speed to avoid triggering a brake activation. The question is,...

I may have misunderstood the point, but with the HST the delay when applying power feels about right to me. The 158 it feels as if it responds too...

It works pretty well for me too. It is somewhat limited in that there is no ability to choose which button/lever does what - you have to use the...

If you’re on PC and have Peak Forest the below mod will bring Peak Forest’s vegetation to MML:...

That’s an impressive mod. Sadly I don’t have Peak Forest as the steam physics are so poor. If it appears on a decent sale though I’ll buy it just...

Matt also said that sales of Diesel Legends were pretty good. Considering it was a massive compromise, with BR blue diesels running on a modern...

You are correct. I'm not a signalling professional so stand to be corrected on the details, but here is how I understand junction signalling:...

A quick bug report: uninitiated emergency brake application at Mountsorrel on the 1757 HST from Leicester to Derby. Speed was 93mph against line...

I struggle a bit to remember how the signal sequences at each location used to be before the update. So far on the updated version my approaches...

Fellow lovers of signal checks and variety in TSW Timetable Mode may be interested to see Jane's post here:...

That's fantastic news, Jane. It'll really help Skyhook routes stand out. There's a big section of the community who have been crying out for this...

For me so far it has to be a 158 run from Nottingham to Derby. We had a late start from Derby due to an HST departing in front of us, and a...

Thank you, Jane. I really hope this is an end to this discussion here and you can be allowed to get on with your job, and your life, in peace....

Up until now I’ve been firmly of the view that Derby-Sheffield would be the best extension, but reading through the thread and thinking about it,...

Regarding the 20s - occasionally is good enough for me! A summer-dated service in the timetable with a pair of 20s on it would be great. I do...

I think as Bravo2six says, options are the key here. I’m the other way around - I’ve no particular interest in the Pacer, but there’s loads of...

I can definitely say I used to judge the actions of the Drivers - but only in a positive way! The skill they showed with the vacuum brake was just...

I think that was why a lot of Drivers did it to be honest - they preferred the privacy. There was also a degree of fear in the industry about the...

Yes, sadly in the later years it became unusual for the blinds to be left up, but in the 80s it was normal, except at night when they had to be...

Why would you prefer getting a ‘medal’ to having a realistic experience? As it happens in this particular case it’s dead easy to arrive on time...

No problem, I’m glad it was useful. Yes, the views are great from a 101, and of course, the wonderful thing about the real thing was that the...

OK, so apologies if this is all stuff you know already but hopefully there's something useful. In my experience, where people struggle with the...

I'd absolutely encourage you to give the 101 another go - it's incredibly satisfying when you get it right. If you'll allow me to try to help -...

I don't use it any more because it changes the weather too often, and you almost invariably get rain/snow/fog. Contrary to popular belief, it does...

I've double-checked and 10:48 Man Vic - Leeds is definitely correct and (for me) appears for classes 40, 45 and 47. The fact that passenger...

Indeed - the approach is identical either way. In fact, my employer trains new Drivers that there's no such thing as an 'approach control' signal....

Thanks Jane. The only thing I've come across so far is those incorrect AWS activations. It's great to see that so much has been improved, and...

Some things in the signalling certainly appear to have changed. I just had a correctly signalled approach to Derby, which I'd never had before....

If you're approaching at the speed you describe, you shouldn't be getting a TPWS activation. If you are, the TPWS trigger speeds at that location...

No, definitely Manchester Vic - Leeds. If it doesn’t appear to be there I’ll double-check the departure time tonight.

It’s on sale on Steam at the moment. £11.72 is a ridiculously low price for what you get, now - and every new route, unit, loco, item of rolling...

The Diesel Railcar Simulator scenery upgrades have now been completed and fully released in the main game. They represent a massive improvement....

10:48 Manchester Victoria - Leeds Class 40/45/47 hauled semi-fast. This is a rare example of a Northern Transpennine run with numerous signal...

There’s a thread dedicated to this: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/the-1st-just-trains-route-speculation-discussion.68995/

That bring back some memories. You can play them here: http://www.bbcmicro.co.uk/index.php?search=Ashley+Greenup&on_A=on (we could really do...

Two really good runs, thank you.

If DTG's conclusion from the findings in the OP is that the 4F is performing correctly and it's the 8F which is under-performing, then we're...

Good bit of research, and I’m not at all surprised. This is why I hope diesels will be introduced in timetable mode on both SoS and Chinley -...

Ah well, given what Matt’s said on the Chinley-Ambergate thread about critically assessing new routes to ensure they’re maximising the timetable,...

And the message doesn’t even tell you the reason you’ve failed. To anyone who hasn’t searched for the reason on these forums (and presumably most...

I can appreciate that when using a train in different era involves changes to on board equipment, removal of vacuum pipes, change of engine etc it...

It’s far from isolated - multiple other routes cross it and run alongside it, so there’s lots of other traffic around. However, the only traffic I...
