I do think TS, and TSW for that matter, have educational potential. The original Woodhead Line and Settle to Carlisle routes both have scenarios...
[IMG] 4771 Green Arrow gets all the attention as she waits on a rail tour at the end of the '70's but otherwise it's business as usual in...
I guess I misunderstood. I thought you'd tried this: [MEDIA] ...which hadn't worked so I suggested you try this: [MEDIA] Whichever one didn't...
Ah- OK. I haven't worked through all the Woodhead scenarios yet. Surprised there's a difference.
I tried this the other day for the screen grab competition and it wasn't having it. You can achieve the same effect by changing the properties in...
You have TS2018. Effectively you bought a single route edition of TS and, as is usually the case, you've been updated to the latest version of the...
I've got 1,000 points for this and don't recall having to do anything to change the scenario- in fact I wouldn't know how to. I'd note that I got...
Pardon me if I seem a bit hard of thinking but what exactly are you trying to achieve? My impression was that you have TS2012 and want to update...
I got TS2016 through Steam and it's been updated to TS2017 then TS2018 as they became available. I presume you bought it on disk or from...
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?
I've just been watching a DVD which included a section about the Cromford and High Peak Railway- a line I'd heard of but didn't know much about....
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...
Catch points are used to derail trains going in the wrong direction and likely to be running away. They are usually sprung so trains going the...
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.
