It would be great if it was coming to TSW, I will certainly be getting it for TS1. I wonder why they would bother mentioning it and UE4 in the...
Presumably most of the services will go "off map" at Crewe. It might be that when you start a timetable service, where it is on the route, the...
It was actually the class 201's which were used on the Hastings line, they were six coach units.
If it had failed we wouldn't be here talking about it! Despite its faults my experience with it, and TS1 incidentally, are overwhelmingly...
Personally I would rather they include an 08 to do the shunting/yard work rather than leaving it to one of the two included steam engines as that...
Class 08 shunters were very much part of the railway scene by 1958 and the LMS had been using them since the 1930's so I wouldn't see the harm in...
It wasn't generally done like that. They would have had a station pilot for moving carriages and any parcels vans etc around the large stations....
Wasn't ECW semaphore signalled when slam door stock was withdrawn?
Well yes there are plenty more routes. Waterloo to Reading/Windsor with the Hounslow loop maybe or the west coastway or one of the mainlines out...
We have many modern third rail routes though, something from the past would make a change. Slam door EMU's are much more fun to drive too and...
Twas ever thus!
Wow that looks interesting and some of the loco's look like ones from my old Fleischmann catalogue!
That is the frustrating thing about TSW routes some of them just don't seem complete. Most of the passenger services on TVL start at Bishop...
Maybe a future steam loco add-on beckons for the route.
That was the old Rochester station. It was closed and a new one built, just a few years ago I believe. What the reason was I know not, however.
I was intially basing my thoughts about an extra timetable if they were adding any diesel layers or reliveried diesels into the base package. But...
Yes there were three of those designed by Bullied for the Southern railway but ended up on the LMR in the 1950's. They could be an interesting...
I love Harrison and Harrison organs, the one at Coventry Cathedral is a wonderful instrument, not that I have had the pleasure of playing it and...
Well in 1958 diesels would have been still very much in the minority. DMU's were just arriving in the area and apart from shunters most diesel...
That is a very interesting read. It takes a particular skill to be a cinema organist, I don't think I could do it.
I would love to see a Jinty used, I would prefer it if any diesel loco's were in a separate combined timetable, but a class 08 is a perfectly...
In TS1 I regularly drive 2 hour scenarios, I probably would't want much longer than that. To me Euston to New Street is the ideal maximum length....
I would love to have a play on a cinema/theatre organ one day. Sadly there doesn't seem so much interest in them although I know of a couple of...
Well that depends on them and how much they want to make the route an immersive experience. Personally I don't expect anything extra on release,...
Impressive specification esepcially the pedal section. It looks versatile, I shall look for some recordings of it. Thanks for that, hopefully...
There would be a lot of possibilities for a class 08, station pilot duties for one, although I am not sure in reality in this period a class 08...
I haven't managed to get over to Cambridge to hear it in person, somehow I have neglected to do so. It is a fantastic instrument though. You...
I think there were still some G5 0-4-4T's around in 1958, I wouldn't imagine J72 would have worked many branch line passenger services but I guess...
Yes I agree. Personally for me it helps immersion if one of the end points on the route is a end point in reality or maybe a crew change over...
I would like to see more complete routes, they don't necessarily have to be longer, although some longer ones would be nice. Two routes I would...
Yes that is right the Resultant Bass 64'
[MEDIA] This is Bach played in a style many purists now wouldn't approve. The late Francis Jackson who died a couple of weeks ago aged 104 was...
Standing beneath the giant organ at Liverpool Cathedral is something to experience, it makes the floor shake.
A lot or organists I know are railway enthusiasts and I have come across a few train simmers who were organists so there must be a link somewhere :)
Tracker action when done well and when it isn't too heavy can be lovely to play. One of the organs I play with is a c1880 century Nicholson and it...
I recall Peanut butter being a thing in the 80's, I couldn't stand it then and would rather poke my eyes out with a rusty nail than entertain...
Yes likely. Isn't the replica being built around a class 37?
LOL I have played a couple of organs like that, it isn't so bad with electro-pneumatic action. I have played a few organs where organ and console...
I thought I would be brave and start a new thread as the walking the line thread seems to have changed track!
As much as I love diesels I think if we get any I would rather have a separate timetable layer so we can have an all steam timetable. As said in a...
Surely the fact that they have asked the question as to how we want to fixed delivered means they are trying to listen to us? And most of the bugs...
Yes that is true, it is interesting how musicians adapted to different tastes, as you say you are generally stuck with an organ once it is...
The class 101 wouldn't be prototypical although Crewe South had a few for a while but I don't think they worked the Liverpool services although...
We have quite a famous cat at our station. George the Stourbridge Junction cat has his own facebook page and is a twitter and instagram star! He...
Yes that is very true but organ music changed particularly in the mid to late 19th century with many more orchestral sounds so organs were often...
That is interesting and thanks for that information. I think just sitting at an instrument he played even if it is altered would feel quite an...
LIRR is a case in point for me, as probably my favourite USA route. I haven't even got it installed at the moment as the sound bug is immersion...
What made them use AI simulated times for the timetables in the first place? A lot of the trains in AI mode accelerate like a scolded cat. For me...
I haven't got that route yet but intend to. But I shall do that for definate when I do. I knew there was a Freiberg connection as I believe he...
