Traditionally in the UK, Thursday was the day weekly paid workers got paid, whether it is a legacy of that, I don't know? When I worked behind a...
You might have these but: If you don't mind an older period route the Weardale route has loads of collieries, quarries and yards and comes with a...
It can be done. I think mentioning class 117 DMU's too often could eventually lead to one, so I am probably halfway there! The only thing I ever...
Seems to be the case, not convinced a huge amount of research has gone into it. Seems to be a case of "we better do something for BR fans". The...
Unlikely I would think. If they reskinned the class 101 into a blue 3 car set I might just purchase it as they made the effort! I wonder what...
I would be happy to do DMU research for free.
Okay thanks for that, I missed that one.
Lol well maybe not for everything! I do have a passion for these DMU's so I have long researched them and have many books and videos and DVDs.
I didn't think you would be :) Anyway I will try and shut up about it now.
If they made a class 117 as separate DLC for it I would definately purchase it.
It is worded in a misleading way. In 1967 the three centre cars were allocated to Reading, no more sets were allocated to the Western Region until...
They ran there from around 1987 when Reading had an allocation of them so ten years after the last class 52 had been withdrawn. Before that the...
Well you need something to represent the local trains on a route like that, it would have been odd having just fast services along the fast lines....
I suppose looking back at the roadmaps the Clinchfield route and Hamburg route have been on the roadmap since their inception so yes you have a...
I think there are a load more routes to be put onto the roadmap. We had one yesterday which was surprise there must be more in planning maybe...
Well I don't know, I don't think they will see getting a DMU as accurate as possible as being important, as far as many people are concerned one...
Well I don't think they recognise that it is an error, that was the impression I got yesterday on the stream! And if they do realise so in...
Well that has garnered some results in the past including changes to SEHS so maybe that is what we should do more of, something I never thought I...
This is the problem though, I love the concept, well I have come to love the concept and anything 1970's is a no brainer for me but they have made...
Me too
Not in the 70's and if they did appear between Reading and Paddington it would have been rare, probably a failure or a special service, they were...
At least with NTP and TVL the route is correct for the stock and quite frankly I would recommend those two routes over this as they offer a more...
Yes around 1994/95 L835/L840 and L841 they were transferred away to Manchester and apart from L835 stayed in NSE livery. L842 ended up at Laira...
Yes good idea, I will do so too. :)
Even that isn't accurate, what about buffet vehicles, do they think passengers from Penzance and Swansea didn't have catering facilities. What...
Well they have one in TS1 and there are drawings and diagrams on the Railcar Association site so if they can make a class 313/314 from scratch I...
I think the 70's pack is a compromise to give a flavour of the 70's without having to create a new route. An idea which despite some reservations...
Yes that is the one I was quoting from.
Most of the posts are constructive I would say on this thread, I know we get the angry bashing posts sometimes but I haven't seen many on this...
Why isn't it aimed at us, who says, I don't remember reading that in the article? I want to see as much 70's content as possible, therefore this...
And another point. The class 101 wasn't designed for routes like Paddington to Reading. It was a low density DMU so would have been used for cross...
A new loco might have sweetened things a little but for me the new stock should have been the class 117. If they have provided a new loco and at...
I will likely get it, personally I prefer the class 314 over the later units but that is just my preference. I would have preferred a class 303...
Unfortunately it has often been this way with DMU's. The class 101 is one of my favourite trains in TSW as first generation DMU's are my biggest...
Not only the wrong livery, the wrong formation. All the sets allocated to the Western region in the 70's were three car sets not two car sets. So...
Scenario packs I have purchased generally have the correct stock for the route and period it is representing and in the correct liveries!
In 1967, three class 101 TCL's were transferred to Reading to replace Hawksworth carriages converted to run as centre carriages with the class 117...
I haven't seen anyone say you have to purchase anything, I purchase what interests me. As a fan of 1970's railways this add-on interested me...
I certainly would never accuse them of being money grabbing. Laziness, well in this case I think they have chosen the easy option with the class...
Naturally I chose the second idea. I don't have a problem with the class 52 being included, a class 50 would be nice but they didn't come till...
I don't know the area at all. I would have thought Edinburgh to Glasgow would have been the obvious choice. If you could name five Scottish routes...
Yes a good point. I like the concept and hope they do similar in the future. I would have purchased it in a heart beat. The pro's for me are:...
I have the same first generation DMU book which Adam just showed on the stream. And I cannot find any class 101's at Reading during this time period!
I certainly prefer it with a class 314 than a 380!
They could have done an early 90's pack with an intercity HST and a NSE class 47 and mark ones. The 101 in NSE livery would have been seen on this...
Well if it is an experiment it is going to possibly result in a false outcome, unless for some reason that is the intention so they can keep...
From the Western Glory news article: and when several units were sent to the Western region in 1967 it became a common sight on various services...
Will it come with the class 101 in Saltire livery?
It isn't even close to being the best choice for this route, a BR painted class 166 would be almost as realistic.
Separate names with a comma.
