Thanks Fred. I will keep an eye out for NTP etc. Of course even as a seasoned PC player there is a bit of a learning curve. For example sounding...

Thanks Hentis, NTP certainly on the shopping list and as you say basically anything classic diesel. Mind regardless of the Sony 64Gb limit, I can...

It was the "bundle" but turning the PS5 off completely and restarting made them appear, so all good. Must admit it does look impressive on the...

For the US scene this is where Run 8 definitely wins out with the industry function, though ironically that game also has no dedicated...

Finally got our PS5 today in the cut down version of Game operating out the back of JD Sports in Swindon! Primarily for the missus to play soft...

Pretty poor show if this is the case. All it needed was either the routing changed to follow the workround, or the collision detection at the...

Ah yes, well remembered from covering the London area traction desk in the WR Control, @1989.

Cane Creek is a hidden gem, despite the slight scenery and motive power flaws. Another route with occasional Amtrak service is Kansas City to St...

Don’t think it was ever fixed. Turned off forever on my install, they might as well remove them from the game.

What a great clip! The engine sound on 158's and 159's is quite melodious compared to earlier Sprinter traction, only as you approach top speed do...

Well their information is wrong. The Ian Allan book or a Sectional Appendix will state the correct operational mileage. According to Google maps,...

It would be nice and something different, but I just don't think DTG have much interest or resources to do anything Australian. Just got to look...

Would be an interesting and scenic route. Problem I can see from DTG's POV is that it's not that far away from the existing NTP and upcoming Peak...

Despite my intense desire for a Sulzer Type 2 or a Class 50 in the game, I would have to go with the Class 56 - One because we already have a...

Good suggestion and suited to both a classic diesel interpretation or the more modern era.

It is a somewhat bare bones suggestion... Personally I would like to see something a bit different, maybe the MOB line or the BOB network out of...

Still too long and as the post above states and I have just confirmed from the Ian Allan Gradient profile book the rail distance is 125 miles....

100% agree. In terms of route my memories are primarily working Waterloo to Exeter services, preferably west of Salisbury where there are...

Suggestion is too long for a TSW route. Need to think of a 50 or 60 mile section which is going to be Newcastle to Berwick or Berwick to...

Yes why not just do like Railroad Tycoon 3 where one train faded out as the other passed through it and immediately give the player train the game...

Towards the end they did, which is why the 33's were brought in to replace them on Cardiff to Crewe services and 37's on the Cambrian Summer...

Late 80's - the missus was with me which kind of influenced the decision, LOL.

At one point the Norwich to Birmingham service was operated by a mix of Class 120 and Class 104 DMU's so I have a feeling the 31's took over from...

I remember boarding a Birmingham bound train at Norwich with a 31 on the front, intending to go all the way through then back to Swindon via...

Well although I am sceptical about Skyhook and the 158, it's a bit unfair to post a diatribe condemning them before the DLC is out and tried. The...

I did put a couple of my TS routes on RWA back in its early days, but soon asked for them to be taken down after falling foul (who, me? :) ) of...

Sadly not as much as those posting detailed propositions might like to hope. Otherwise we would have all sorts of iconic routes for the UK alone...

The emphasis seems to be very much on freight operations. Although there is some Amtrak stock available operations are a bit abstract as you can't...

I have a fair bit of content in TSC I have barely touched. Agree re MSTS. Even in Open Rails it is so horribly dated now. In fact I told Trainsim...

Haven't checked in at RWA for a long time, couldn't get around the belligerent forum moderation of anything remotely critical. It's not really...

A possible solution yes, but then we end up with the scavenger hunt for dependencies which specialist central repository for train sims tend to...

Looks like Trainsim dot com might also be foundering a bit. Their forum, which only sees light traffic anyway these days, is now swamped with...

The Kyle line was laid to Route Availability "5" so it was limited to light axle locos, which is why the Class 24, 25 and 26 Type 2's were the...

Noticed there seems to be a bit of rose tinted trolling going on recently. We are all here because one way or another we enjoy what TSW offers or...

See you down at Cal Portland or maybe on the Buttonwillow or Arvin branch! Seriously some of those branch lines and industry spurs in Run 8 are...

Absolutely this. They could, if sincere, acknowledge the concerns and concede they need to pull the route for a month to go back in and rework...

It’s ridiculous they still haven’t fixed this to reflect the running mileage left, rather than as the crow flies. TSC and MSTS etc. manage it...

Seconded. I’ve gone off to play Run 8 for a bit because I fancied a change and enjoy the more detailed industry flows you can get working. However...

Plus excursions and the Jacobite steam trips. Go back into the 70’s and you could feature the mixed trains - a couple of fish vans and an oil...

Agree the poll could have been worded better but even as someone with no particular knowledge of the prototype, things seem far from right here....

I have had trouble stopping the trains on Cajon. Even on level track virtually no response unless I put the train in emergency. This is with...

Limitation will be the timetable regardless of era, but that would be offset by the scenic splendour.

I enjoy TSW very much but of late things do seem to have taken a downward turn. The price increase, the one route, one train policy. New UK steam...

After getting back into Run 8 last night having similar thoughts. In truth the only forthcoming DLC that might be a Day 1 purchase was the Peak...

Absolutely behind you on this Gary. ATM I'm just hoping (not a prayer man these days) that Skyhook don't botch the 158 in the same way so at least...

It’s a shame in some ways Run 8 don’t expand more into NE passenger territory and update their game for more realistic passenger operations. They...

Fair enough. Anyhow posting the above inspired me to fire up Run 8 after a gap of about 3 months, shifting the Bakersfield to Los Angeles Oil...

Not sure it actually works in TSW. have seen it functioning in Run 8 though, both on the cab display and the tickertape HUD. In the case of Run 8...

Amen to all the above. The 31 ranks up there with the 40 and 45 as the best UK traction in the game. But it's little short of negligent that no...
