I think it's a bit optimistic to expect DTG to give us a second all-new loco
Presumably 127s and 235s- although it will be interesting to see what livery they come in. I doubt that by 1997 there were many if any left in...
Which is fine, except that the IC coaches we currently have only date from 2015
It does seem though that there would be room to use the 112 here- though not of course in Verkehrsrot. Maybe a subsequent DLC of an IR consist,...
Well that depended a bit on the loco. Those like the 103 which had a cast plaque for a Kekse, often it was simply repainted red.
Well, yes, exactly. I was just distinguishing them from the coaches in my photo, which definitely aren't. But in the photo they are hooked up...
Here we go: Halberstadt 1997: a 143 still in its DR dark red but with a DB Kekse added, hauling old m-Wagen (or DR coaches?) in Nahverkehr...
The problem with coaching stock is that the IC-liveried 106 and 284 we have didn't exist back then, Silberlinge wouldn't have been red and only...
It would be a slight stretch of reality, since the 143 and 155 have both had cab refurbs since then, but I agree it would be far less of a stretch...
Well, I'm not sure I would call them key management components of driving a steam engine. They are key components of firing a steam engine- which...
It never was. I have no idea where the idea arose that Track 3 was ever going to be made. It won't be. Never was going to be. Forget about it.
Sheesh! This looks so great I'm tempted to buy the route just so I can apply the mod!
I can help out with this (although it's of course not relevant to any current TSW route). The default color of DB before 1974 was dark green:...
Now I am confused. I thought blue-beige only lasted up until 1987 (give or take), when it was replaced by Produktfarben. Were these IC 2C...
So the introduction of second class into the ICs was accomplished simply by adding standard blue coaches to the consist?
Yes, I should have mentioned the TEE as well, since the Rheingold and Rheinpfeil which ran the LRS were TEE trains. The IC was, in its origin, an...
Can't do Philly without SEPTA, which DTG don't have a license for
I am a little concerned about freight. There was some on the left track and a LOT on the right track (which is visible across the river for most...
IIRC, the 103s only hauled IC services and so the coaches were beige/red, until the changeover to white with Orient-red and violet stripes....
It would also seem they will be including new z-wagen for the 103 IC consist.
Linke Rheinstrecke!!!!!! With the103!!!!!
The AEM-7 has been retired for five years; the only HHP-8s still in service are with MARC. The ACS-64 replaced them both in Amtrak service over...
I don't see what the problem is. After all it's been over 500 years now and Dicky 3 was finally dug out of that car park. I think we can smooth...
Yes.
Not necessarily, at least for now, because a fair number of bugfixes for older routes have been rolled out for TSW3 but not, so far, for TSW2.
JD strikes again!
With respect, this is the sort of thread which belongs on the Technical Issues forum
The frequency of regular services has been enormously increased. Something like a train every 4 minutes instead of every 15.
Actually you do. The announcement system could simply "read" the distance counter, which is always active.
IF DTG were to give HMA an overhaul (and this is all speculation here, folks), then I wish they could go ahead and make a 2D backdrop of the Old...
As I think I mentioned before, the WSR green 09 is very, very close, as a physical model, to the original 08s; combine that with the blue 08's...
Not really. The first 101s were just entering service in 1956, but not, I believe, on Clydeside yet. Besides, the remodeling would require more...
:o Different as night and day
I think this is related to Nos. 1 and 2: I doubt DTG are going to do another steam loco until they first get steam physics sorted.
Well since I didn't "purchase" LIRR (it was a TSW2020 base route), I would have to say Luzern-Sursee. I knew going in that it was short and just...
Goodness knows it wouldn't be too hard to include an 08 since it already exists - maybe just combine the BR Green 09 3D model with the 08's...
Probably because there was enough component compatibility between the two Staniers - starting with nearly identical cabs - that it was fairly easy...
There's also Niddertalbahn, stepping a bit further back into the Produktfarben era
If true, that is totally unacceptable. A design practice from the Bad Old Days that I thought had been tossed in the dustbin.
I think there is a lot of confusion between the spheres of QA and beta testing, which are separate. QA's job is, basically, "does the game crash?"...
Basically, DTG should lay out a UK Development Strategy something like the planning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While that's true, there is also the prospect of reskins; some like the disc-front Class 40 would only require new paint; others like the 31 would...
The logic is that newer trains can't layer into older routes: the layer has to be built into the route when it's first made (unless, as has been...
"Problems and bugs" shouldn't be on this forum anyway; they belong in Technical Discussions.
"Brakeman" is a job title passed down from the old days even if it has little to do with the job's actual duties any more.* Historically, brakemen...
It isn't even "realism," really; an engineer would not be coupling or throwing switches himself (in fact, leaving the cab is for good reason...
I think we need to look again at the definition of "expansion pack" in the DTG lexicon: Matt actually explained it carefully in the roadmap...
And, as always in TSW, don't give you nearly enough time to accomplish it: you are always starting the return leg very late and desperate to catch...
I have had custom 465s appear in both SEHS and LBR
Strange that you and you alone are having these problems.
Separate names with a comma.
