I haven’t done this one since GWE was first released but from memory, I think it’s the HST service where you switch ends at Acton yard and take it...
So it looks like East Coast and West Coast mainlines are the most popular. They would probably be my choice too but like some other people, I’d be...
It would be nice to more freight locomotives for UK routes. So far we’ve only had 66s and 37s on TVL. But there’s so much more freight locomotives...
This is the same in the UK too apart from London Underground. Drivers release or enable doors not open yet all doors open in TSW. Maybe they...
Well yes, likewise there’s countless areas where flashing yellows should be in place but they’re not. But now that they’ve got it working for one...
Sorry I should have made it clear, Class 93s aren’t out yet. They have been ordered by Rail Operations Group and from my understanding, they are...
Lots of freight traction apart from 66s: 37, 57, 67, 68, 70, 86, 88, 90, 93 And then you’ve got engineering trains and multiple units that are...
Sorry, you’re right. I completely butchered that one :):)
Hahaha, that’s udderly hilarious :)
Personally, I don’t get why people are so fussed about “it’s the wrong era” therefore we can’t have 800s for example. If it’s 387s from Paddington...
It would be nice to be able to couple/uncouple Class 395 units. Currently, you’re unable to do so because if you try coupling up, you won’t be...
Just wanted to update that they have got the first 2 points working now which is good news. PRI indicators working on GWE and flashing yellows...
I’ve compiled a list of the most popular routes and traction that people want to see in the U.K. There’s at least one thread a week on each of...
If you don’t know what PRIs are, I’ve added a brief description at the bottom Was testing out the 395 on the GWE Route for the first time this...
I would like to see an automatic guard mode where on appropriate routes, the doors automatically open/close and the bell/buzzer is automatically...
Air brake (or rather electropneumatic braking) doesn’t work either. It only works when you put it into emergency. They should program it such...
If you mean in comparison to real life- usually the front pantograph is raised and the rear pantograph is down. The rear pantograph can be used...
Interesting point. In the UK, most of the trains we have are old locomotives/units from British Rail days. The only modern units in TSW are the...
The fast line platforms are not disused platforms. They are used regularly particularly during late night/early morning when there’s engineering...
Already in the game but HSTs. Dominated InterCity travel across the UK for decades and looks great in so many liveries. A delight for passengers...
In the example below, there are 2 bogies. In America, bogies are called trucks so it means the same thing. Each bogie/truck has 3 axles. As there...
1. In the United States, a truck is what we in the UK would call a bogie. So the lead truck would be the front bogie (which is the front 3 axles...
Nice suggestion, you’ve also got the option of sprinters as well as Class 67/Mk4/DVT which TFW run a couple services a day from Holyhead to...
Wow, looks very impressive. Some great locos, beautiful scenery and wonderful history! Definitely has that quintessential American railroad feel.
I take it you mean the AWS (automatic warning system). The alerter on US locomotives would be similar to the Driver Safety Device/Driver Vigilance...
That would be my choice too. The Class 91 will be a very unique locomotive and driving experience in TSW. The Class 800s are very similar to the...
Class 91/Mk4 [ATTACH] It will be the first AC loco in the game in the UK.
This has been the case since day one of release and you can add it to the rest of the signalling/infrastructure issues which have yet to be...
It would be a brilliant route to see. But to really appreciate the route, they can’t just have the skeleton service that they have on most other...
With regards to running out of air, this is the exact reason why you have a parking brake. You use the parking brake when the wagon/loco is going...
If the system wasn’t fail safe, I would agree. You would need to manually check each gauge to ensure you’re getting correct braking force for each...
So if you had a 12 coach train (e.g. Class 395), you would like to see 12 brake cylinder gauges in the cab? :o Not only would it be a mess and an...
My answer from a thread from a few days ago :)
The op made another thread on the 166 yesterday, I replied to him on there :)...
I watched the review, you make some good points. Don’t worry about people criticising it. HST on the Great Western route :) The only thing you...
I don’t have the route yet but I’d like to know 2 things: 1. How quickly are you taking full power when departing a station? 2. And when you’re...
Of course, with the pantograph down (or engines off), your main compressors will not be running so you will see your main reservoir deplete slowly...
In real life, the procedure below is how you would dispose of a Class 395/800. The ones in bold is what you can do in TSW: 1. Log out of TMS 2....
Yes ghawk2005, you’re correct. In real life, leaving Slough, a turbo would be doing about 65mph at Langley. In the game, it’s about 77mph. In...
In real life, disabling a safety system is extremely serious and would never be done without the permission and consultation of the...
Yes, I’m obviously making it up.
Here’s a video of a West Coast HST on the DC lines from 1993. As HSTs aren’t fitted with tripcocks (and AWS/TPWS are not operational), they were...
No. It’s because there is a greater risk of a wrong side door release by pressing the left hand door release buttons when station is on right hand...
With regards to anything that causes the emergency brake loop to de-energise* and therefore leading to an automatic emergency brake application,...
With regards to saloon lights, on modern multiple units, you’re unable to turn off saloon lighting. So even on empty coaching stock, lights in the...
The 3 step check is referring to the following: 1. Do I stop here? I.e. am I booked to call here or am I non-stop? 2. Am I at the correct...
[MEDIA] Enjoy :). Skip to 1:02 if you don’t want to see it all
8 coach HST with a good set of power cars and good conditions will get to 125mph at about West Drayton in real life. It will vary depending on...
Yes it is. Independent brake is the same as loco brake. There are also other names for train brake such as automatic air brake, etc... What’s the...
You’ve got two types of brakes: 1. Train brake 2. Independent brake (As well Parking and dynamic) Do you know where the above 2 are and have you...
Separate names with a comma.
