But I suspect you could if there was a third rail. The EM2 is a 1,500V DC electric- IRL if you tried to run it under 25KV AC there would be fire...

Actually I think as long as there's track TS isn't fussy. It's like electric loco's- if you select one in quick drive you can't then choose a...

Do you mean all the way to its western junction at Garsdale on the S&C? I'd quite like to see that but I'm more for:

Would it not? I thought you'd just be able to click from one to another as you can with any Free Roam. But then I don't know much about setting...

Like you I doubt it will happen but not for any technical reason- routes obviously can be joined because they have been and there's a few DLC that...

Thanks for posting that. I can't quite describe the noise I made when I saw it but suddenly I'm very interested in Steam Sounds Supreme. It'll...

Indeed. I could imagine a free-roam scenario which would set you up to spend the day exploring the IoM by rail (though that might work better in...

Personally I'm sure that the Weardale and Teesdale is one of the best routes available for TS and certainly the best one I have but if we're just...

[IMG] The view from the cab of an EM1 (later Class 76) emerging from the new Woodhead tunnel. Oppresive enough in an electric loco' the original...

It may be ambitious but how about modelling all the Isle of Man railways in one route? The horse tramway might present problems but otherwise it...

Oh yes- like this idea. I think, done right, this sort of thing could be beneficial to both TS and the heritage groups.

Yes please! The outer axles are just there to spread the weight as are those of the EE type 4 (a.k.a Class 40). Unpowered axles are denoted by...

I was brought up in Stourbridge so I'd love to see this but I think I've blithered about it quite enough in a thread in the TSW forum (Stourbridge...

[IMG] "We may but pass as the World goes by..." Riviera in the '50s.

Nice one Joethefish- a real one horse race this time which is unusual.

[IMG] The change of gradient, from a mere 1:54 to a mercifully short stretch at 1:27, is as apparent to the observer as it is to the hard working...

[IMG] The climbing is not over but a freight train enjoys the respite of a down grade as it approaches Dale on its way to Laramie (Sherman Hill).

I got Sherman Hill as part of TS2016. It included the GT-El at the tiem but other items were given away over the following months as part of a...

Wrong forum pal. TSW and Train Simulator are entirely different programs.

Not to be huffy but was it not a good suggestion a couple of months ago?

Wha...? I...! Meh... If anyone wants me I'll be over here.

Absolutely with you on this. Someone asked about my pic' in the Steam forum so you're not the only one to wonder- indeed I've asked about at...

There's a very tight circle of track near North Road Station in Weardale and Teesdale- a real train-set loop. Single though so no good for racing...

Simply that the Pacers' low running costs make passenger services viable that wouldn't be otherwise.

Ah- no. It's in TS. There aren't any development tools for TSW at the moment are there? (Sorry- when you're looking through the recent posts...

Someone's modelled a stretch of the Darjeeling Railway so it can be done. Blender is free.

As I said, although on the face of it they seem half baked, I'm not going to dump on 230s just for the sake of it. I can't get too upset about...

I usually do and I got started in TS because Dovetail were giving copies away at an event there. I'm Dad-sitting tomorrow but, if he seems up to...

I was at Locomotion when four chaps took that Wickham up and down the track for a test spin (it was essential that four people ride- not fun...

I think these were first proposed for the North East. I can't tell you how excited people got around here at the news that the clapped out, life...

[IMG] The road crossing at Forelle in Sherman Hill. NB: Not mucking about honest. I posted two pictures on Saturday but wasn't happy with the...

You might want to question your sources on that one. I live about five miles away from the oldest modern railway and that opened in 1825. (Yes...

Any other islands or even countries that are small enough or have small enough railway networks, to model the whole system? The Isle of Man comes...

A lot of entries this week and several that were difficult to choose between. Well done Solarr- I liked the unusual point of view and composition.

[IMG] "That's that then. Better turn the lights out." Barnard Castle (Weardale and Teesdale) in Autumn 1964. The last passenger train for the...

How about back-dating things a little and modelling the island's whole railway network as it was or taking a flight of fancy and imagining it...

[IMG] Rush hour at Broomielaw on the Darlington to Barnard Castle line (Weardale and Teesdale in the '60s)- someone will remember those coal...

You need a single picture in a post so the Admin' knows which one is being voted for.

[IMG] LNER V2 Green Arrow garners all the attention as she waits to start a railtour, otherwise it's business as usual at Newcastle Central...

Hmm... Usually I'll vote for a couple of entries but this week it's looking like four or five.

Hah! You jest but there's one of these (looking very smart in brown and cream) on the Weardale Railway not half an hour from here. I'm not sure of...

[IMG] Rush hour at Westgate. Who knows how long the DMU has been waiting for the goods train now coasting through the loop but no-one seems in...

Although, as noted, it doesn't include any kettles this is an excellent suggestion. I think the route would ably represent any period from...

Was that you with Derek Siddle at Shildon when the Weardale and Teesdale was launched?

Maybe I should have put a ;) there but I thought it was obvious. I know at least where Manchester is because because I've been there a few times....

Glad you took my comment as it was meant. The area could be the basis of a nice network DLC like my current favourite in TS the Weardale and...

I have TS not TSW but the interest is obviously there and one day a route is going to come out which will break down my resistance and start me...

S&C is usually £10 on Steam and typically 50% off during sales as was the Specials Pack when I got both. YMMV but I try to follow the commandment,...

I'm not much for kettles but I do like to drive one now and then which I mention as a caveat because there are more knowledgeable users who may...
