I know the Colne Valley Railway Class 308 vehicle is missing a lot of the interior, but I wonder how much of the cab remains
I guess what they are saying is similar to my feeling. I don't use TikTok at all, and have no idea about you at all or what you do. I think it...
I've voted for the Northern Line, simply because it's the only stretch of Mersey Rail territory I've travelled on (and gotten a penalty fare...
I only got into TSC after playing TSW, and I only managed 25 hours. Last played in March 2023 and uninstalled for ages. Safe to say I've never...
In all seriousness, why would they want to 'incentivise' loyal customers, the ones who are already buying things, and keep buying things - they...
Does this mean we're getting a prequel trilogy at some point? :D
Yeah, Spirit of Steam is a depressingly sparse route in terms of traffic, I'd be happy just to get *something* extra for it
So uhh... steam physics ;)
I do wonder if that is their eventual plan: create a network of routes around one central hub (Preston), which will one day merge into a single...
Sad to hear it, your work has looked absolutely stunning, so far!
I'm excited, yes, it's the same area and time as their previous routes, but that maximises layering potential across all of them. Again, yes,...
Actually, in addition to the above ramblings, there are *loads* of short heritage railways around the UK, some with a mile of track or less, and I...
I remember suggesting something similar years ago, now, but yes, I'm absolutely in support of an initiative like this. I'm not too worried about...
Personally, I think Colchester would be the first logical end point for the GEML after Shenfield (the latter of which would be depressingly...
Tbh, I don't mind if DTG aren't interested in doing more steam content, if it isn't comparatively valuable to them to build that era of routes and...
I'll never forget one of my last trips on a non-Renatus Class 321. For whatever reason, we had a rather spirited driver, and arrived into...
I haven't heard the rumour of 745/1s being used on express services to Clacton in a while. I'm still sceptical if that was ever actually planned...
I can't remember exactly when the route is set, but GWR has only operated short-set HSTs for years now, and none do London services anymore.
Wasn't that an old issue in TSW2 or something? I definitely know I saw that happen fairly frequently, many iterations ago, but the main cause of...
Oh how I dream of a green shed for a change... :cool:
If you want all the variations I think we'll have to wait for TSW8 at least... I don't recall that statement, personally, I think there might be...
I mean, I'd like it to be set in 1988-1990ish :cool:
Yeah, personally, I only see it as viable if introduced as part of another route as a sort of secondary gameplay experience. Obviously, we already...
In my experience, a timely quick word with someone from a Mod when things toe the line can save a whole load of grief before things get completely...
No company in the world is going to openly condemn their partners like this. It would destroy relations between the two companies and wold cause...
Personally, I'd prefer to see a historic set LU route if we are to get another, to enhance layering potential on any future heritage routes we...
Yeah, the 'custodian' phrasing sounded a little strange, I guess it just means DTG won't revisit those old models and given Athena free reign to...
I just about saw everything... after 30,000 steps and over 14 miles of walking
Yeah, it would be a testing nightmare too, how many services are there and how many variations of random events will there be that can impact them...
Just wanted to drop a message to say what a fantastic event this was, such a shame we'll only do it once! The sheer volume and range of locos and...
Tbh, on the random events I imagine it would be an absolute nightmare to retroactively implement on old routes, I would expect that to be only for...
Maybe we'll get another update on that in the Dovetail Direct... I hope It's just a little frustrating for me, at least, as I've been putting off...
I'm going to do some specualtuon in the form of wishful pipe-dreaming and say the new 'feature' they are focusing on is overhauled steam physics...
No idea how easy it would be to retroactively implement to older content, but it would definitely be very handy for keeping install sizes down.
Personally I don't mind the 'new' releases, if it works for their marketing then so be it, I guess. I do think from a stability perspective...
I take it you didn't apply, then? ;) Just remember for a great many games, early access (which is, for the most part beta testing), is something...
You can definitely still see the origins from the original showing through. :cool:
Slightly off topic, but is it Sudbury's bridge that's now at Chappel & Wakes Colne for access to the East Anglian Railway Museum. Sure I read that...
Marketing ;)
My pick for GEML would be around the late 80s, early 90s, loco-hauled services by 86s, a range of slam-door EMUs, 315s and 321s, and a whole host...
My answer, no. If TSW was doomed as often as people claimed, it would have ended years ago.
Yeah, it would be nice to get *something* new in terms of steam. I don't think it'll ever happen in the core routes (though being Rail 200, I can...
I think part of the problem with the 'new' game releases for DTG is that in offering a new title, they have to expand the feature set of the game...
As a veteran Forum and Discord moderator, heated agreement from me. The issue people have in response to complaints is not the complaints...
Yeah, but DTG haven't done a backdated route in years, and definitely don't seem interested in doing one for the core. Hopefully I'll be proven...
I would really love to see the GEML, all the way to Ipswich, with the Felixstowe branch too, for freight. But I suspect a TSW version would be cut...
Ah, I assumed GWE was the core route for that one
I mean 'core' as in the flagship routes released with each version of the game.
Well, for a start, without knowing what any features are, we have no idea yet on that first point. As for the second... that hasn't been...
It would be a case of 'Hi Liam, yes, you know all that hard work you've done? Yeah, scrap it, we're remaking the route from scratch to do an...
