Unfortunately, that top screenshot simply serves to remind me how bad the scenery is in Arosa.
A lot depends on how many locos you have to fight gravity with.
Personally I don't care for flat-faceted 1980s styling (in trains or automobiles). I may be one of the few people on the planet who didn't much...
Clinchfield is one of my favorite routes but does have flaws (no whistleposts, no people, wonky signals) - but all of these pale, IMHO, to the...
The thing is, for those who want shorter runs the locals all stop at White Plains anyway.
I think the LINTs and the original Talent are attractive.
They have also upped their game with rolling stock: the Dresden versions of German locos (and freight wagons) are marked improvements over the...
The G6, even more than most locos (and all are helped), really shines in hi-fi headphones (no, not your MP3-player's earbuds). Really nice through...
The line isn't electrified past Southeast, so there would be little point building it all the way to Wassaic.
Historically, DTG's TSW route releases have all been within a week either side of the 1st of even-numbered months, aside from the staggered Rush...
That's a bit exaggerated. In the dry, 1.5 will do it. Haven't experimented with snow yet. (One key is not to overbrake at the speed reduction at...
It isn't going to be the first route after Chemnitz. I forecast Chemnitz around Feb 1 and the new British route around April 1. Steam, I fully...
Agreed as to power; but the CW40-9 is DC.
How did you manage to get all three shunters in one pic?
The physics, for a start. TS uses arcade physics.
Matt has pretty much ruled out doing an articulated loco first time out, and has said explicitly they are not doing the Big Boy for the first or...
What an odd way of putting it.
Knock them out? Yes. In "a few hours"? Not hardly.
Saves are bugged across TSW. Don't expect them to work.
The rear panel (where the engine start and parking brake switches are): bottom right, under the red covers. The PZB mode selector is just to the...
And therein lies the rub: quality takes time, and time costs money. Maik has said with regard to the 101 and hinted with regard to the G6 that he...
No mention of the one I want to see, a high-nose GP7.
Very hard to say, but there are certain factors in favor of N&W No. 611: DTG already have a Norfolk Southern license 611 regularly runs...
Usually the very first service in a Journey is the tutorial. You can replay it any time you like by going into Explore/Tutorials (or just...
On the Class 47 tile, click on the pink paintbrush: that will take you to the livery options
Freight means wait. As Maik says, just be patient: there are two S-Bahn trains that have to clear the line.
What in the US/UK is called a Jacobs bogie.
Especially since it has its own livery designator as well as tile in the selection screen: 185.2 RP as distinct from the older 185.2 DB and 185.2...
The equivalent of MRCE: private freight leaser, found everywhere.
The digital speed readout is in the white circle in the middle of the speedo.
One tiny thing I really like about the G6: unlike the 363 and 204, you can see forward over the hood! The others I wind up driving with my head...
That's a rather different sentiment than your earlier post wherein you expressed the hope, in effect, that Rivet would go out of business. I...
No, not yet. LM's skies for right now are only available as a PC mod, and only work with TSW2 or upgraded PrCo routes.
However, there is another interesting side note here: as with the BR 363, once again we see a route coming out which uses a loco which was...
Not necessarily. Remember what they did with SEHS, ECW and BML: subbed in 'incorrect' 377s, but then when the 465 and 317 came out, put them in...
Wow. On the one hand, people are up in arms about framerate and stuttering issues on Sherman Hill, but on the other hand want to load down the...
The weird delay time is a function of the Cinderella Syndrome: TSW uses a 24-hour timetable that resets at midnight, so any services nominally en...
Londonmidland's skybox mod only works with routes that have the TSW2 base skybox, not the old TSW2020 one. Adam's folks have upgraded many, but...
And this is why DTG are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they don't include the New Haven traffic, they'll be attacked. If they do...
Or just to give some non-intuitive information, such as the fact that the cruise control only functions below 12 km/h if one is in shunting mode,...
[IMG] No train, Peninsula Corridor
Ah, so. Danke!
Just an autosave routine, and just as screwed up as manual saves. You aren't missing much.
I do have one question (or bug report?): how does one engage the cruise control at set speeds? If it is moved all the way over to the ">11km/h"...
Does this mean you are doing the Harlem timetable, Joe?
It was UP which canceled it, not travel restrictions.
The important thing about freight is that it gets there, not that it gets there fast.
Well, after the tutorial and first scenario, I'm hooked. I like shunting anyway, but this engine is an absolute blast to drive. And I actually...
The very end of.
Folks, DTG has been very consistent in releasing a new route every two months, aside from the triple releases every summer. If Sherman Hill is...
