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.
Quite simply it is an unrealistic portrayal of the route at the time!
I like driving old trains, this pack should be a guaranteed purchase for me. But the experience it offers will be so far removed from reality that...
Do you think they will knock up a class 117 over the next few weeks? Somehow I don't and I don't think they actually care enough to either quite...
From the Railcar association website. The class 101 vehicles sent to the WR in 1967 were three trailer vehicles sent to Reading depot (as...
The unit number on the unit in the screenshot, L840 was among the set numbers given to the batch allocated to Reading in 1987/88 (as three car sets).
That paragraph is a complete load of unadulterated bunkum! 1) Where were the several units sent? Not to Reading, not in 1967 and not used on the...
My slight excitement for the route has just nosedived. I guessed the next UK route would be Scottish, I had hope for the Edinburgh to Glasgow or...
I would hope it will be a mini network not just the circle line.
I am waiting with bated breath! Indeed
I will be interested to see which period the Cathcart Circle line is set in. I would love to see it with the class 303 but I won't get my hopes...
This roadmap will be very interesting! I wonder if we will get fireworks as we did a fortnight ago! If I worked for DTG I think I would have a...
Yes that is it. I have seen very few spires like that on a British church and I have seen many, it looks more Bavarian if anything. It looks far...
Fair enough, not being such a fan of modern trains, I probably wouldn't notice things like that. I should try pressing more buttons, you don't get...
I think the class 395 is very nicely modelled and can't see any problems with the 377 so not sure what is so bad about their attempts at modern...
Church architecture is another interest of mine, which I could bore for hours on, I wasn't aware of the particular importance of spires though, so...
Considering churches are some of the most iconic buildings around and last surviving buildings from another time they are not very well...
Not all of us think that the sim is such a disaster. I am using it fine with few problems and largely enjoying it, I certainly haven't found the...
I don't like to side with DTG, if you can stop being childish and if you actually bothered to read my posts you will see I was quite critical of...
Cough "GWML 1970's pack" Cough :)
Neither does the class 117 (the IHH version did even on the blue/grey one) either, yet that has been made with one so there must be a way of doing...
Hi, that was me. Thanks for the link, however I do have that one. I was wondering if there was one without the headcode box plated over, there is...
It seems odd to have some named preserved ones and some unnamed, so maybe they did. Don't forget these engines are often owned by groups or...
Some were named. If I recall the ones which weren't named couldn't be named as the names are copywrite by the various preservation societies. I...
Well presumably as the DLC's are in such a state you haven't purchased any in a long while. If I found DLC to be so useless that I couldn't use...
From my experience in the past working in the service industry, I can safely say the customer was wrong at least 50% of the time, not that many...
Well if it was a realistic collection of 70's rolling stock for the route I would purchase it as it is one of my favourite periods. I don't mind...
If they are going to be accurate *cough cough* the class 101 should be in all over blue with yellow ends to run in the same period as the Western.
That is certainly not the case. Items have moved up and down each week.
Personally I wouldn't want either. I don't mind unbranded liveries but not into fictional liveries and certainly not fictional models.
Yes DTG stop producing new content, reduce your cash flow, make staff redundant.....oh no more bug fixes! They are managing both, maybe not to...
I can't say I would be jumping for joy if the next route is another underground route. The Bakerloo looks nice but I have had a couple of drives...
