With me, it’s, “I’m off on the bike to Sainsbury’s dear, want anything?” as they are about the only store selling them at the moment. Then it’s a...
The acceleration sounds are okay. It’s the lack of rheostat braking noise when slowing down and the almost non existent track sound that’s the issue.
Reckon 1998966 could be Peak Forest, then.
I think it's the sight and sound that offer the appeal and I was actually surprised in TSC how relatively low powered the lash up was. The other...
And much sweeter engine sound! The 158 seats as fitted from new were really quite comfortable. The refurb with Chapman seats that the Canton fleet...
It didn’t stop them putting the GTEL on the TSC version and just as with GWE Legends, I wouldn’t be averse if it brought something iconic into the...
Plus if Steam deem you have misused the refund feature, they are liable to get a bit snotty with you. Most of the “soft” warnings I have received...
It would need a slight rework which if earlier reports are to go by is too much effort for DTG’s overworked 3D modellers and artists. However I...
Read in another thread that Sherman Hill, one of my least played routes, had received a bit of an update. Decided to check it out and heck, yes it...
Triage the releases and if necessary wait for a sale. If you’re on Steam as I do, buy the occasional gift voucher and chuck £20 in my Steam wallet...
I still remember the dark days pre MSTS and why I started my infamous web site at the time. The best that could be had for the UK was entirely...
Don't hold your breath... This is cold, hard, cynical business we are dealing with.
Experience of multiplayer in Run 8 and SimRail not good, IMHO. Not sure if it's still the case but SimRail rapidly filled up with griefers and...
And almost certainly in the North West. Would be funny if the rumoured Preston to Blackpool route was actually theirs and not Just Trains.
A point I should have made! Even some of the UK classics like The Port Road, WCML North, Over Shap etc., were done by Keith Ross at arm's length....
TSC shines for steam (as in traction) and routes that don’t stand a cat in hell’s chance of appearing in TSW, like the ones from New Zealand,...
Definitely in the top three of German routes along with RSN and Dresden to Riesa. Sadly a standard not present in the Uber short BBO and...
Well the 158 is Skyhook not Rivet but their record on traction and rolling stock is not sterling either. This definitely a wait and see DLC....
It is possible to run tender first but I believe a speed restriction of 45 MPH is applied.
Come on DTG, you need to give us this. Big noisy diesels are for hauling trains, if I want to see steam I’ll put the kettle on for a cup of tea…
Niddertalbahn gets my only vote at this stage. As others have asserted, probably the only dead cert for a Day One purchase (TSG rep). West Rhine...
Awful is an understatement, Luke.
Sadly seems very, very unlikely. There aren't even any payware Aussie routes for TSC (that I know of) so doubt TSW would get anything. If they...
It still needs to be incorporated properly. By all accounts Rivet licensed AP sounds for the 150/2 and we all know how that ended up...
My own personal experience with Boston Sprinter of late is quite different. Bit of a disaster zone with the doors not responding properly driving...
Agreed. Some of the responses to my views have been a little antagonistic. We are all individuals and all have our own views. The fact I recently...
Sadly I don’t think they will Gary, the DTG Flywheel also seems to extend to third party associates. Put it out, achieve the projected sales and...
Agree, better to have a realistic but non functional PIS equipment than none at all. Are DTG really so hard up for 3D modellers, no one has an...
Really? Doesn’t matter what it is, if a job is worth doing properly… Besides a rounded and attractive product will bring far more sales than a...
Poor excuse. If he can’t make a case for enough resources to round the project off nicely, then why bother starting it in the first place?
Meanwhile they are pressing on and being allowed to sell their steam scenario pack for the equally broken WCL and 150.
So Rivet are being allowed to make more money from the steam excursion pack, while their 150 is still dire in terms of physics and sound....
Yes rapidly falling away from my Day One radar despite my initial enthusiasm. The DTG lackadaisical approach seems alive and kicking. He is the...
Not good. I just hope there is a reasonable explanation as to why it was felt adding another few miles and moderately complex track around Derby...
Why was the opportunity not taken to add some UIC stock, AM's and BM's etc. for "D" trains?
Lack of UIC stock does put a downer on this route. Rummaging through the various threads and posts, has the actual release date being confirmed?...
Well the scenario in question messed up before I saved it, on a straight play through. The only reason I resumed was to see if the final step...
Well I see that XP12 has released and a fairly reasonable (!) £50 on Steam. I had kind of an on/off relationship with XP11 being more of a FS man....
Update… on attempting to finish the scenario loaded the save. Passenger progress had reset to nothing but toggling doors open and closed failed to...
Cathcart and similar routes would also be great if we had more than one save slot so you could leave it and do something else in the meantime,...
Even when the safety valves aren’t blowing off, at anything above 30 MPH the sound on the Jubilee and 8F simply becomes a muffled roar with...
tl:dr Got a feeling nothing huge is planned for this year. The prime summer release will doubtless be Peak Forest steam. All the indications are...
Should match the timetable, but no penalty for arriving earlier. Where possible, published public or working times should be used providing train...
Preston to Blackpool okay if, 1. It’s set in the diesel era, earlier the better and 2. They include the coastal tramway! I really have no interest...
As per the mention in another thread, the Class 506's were 1500v DC EMU's for Manchester to Glossop and Hadfield, i.e. the truncated western end...
Given route lengths seem to be contracting as the price increases (!), even Rugby to New Street would probably be pushing it. And of course,...
It did seem odd and the route literally seems to have been built based on the “on the day” research that was undertaken. So west of Airport...
Class 506 didn’t work along here, they were 1500 DC units for the western section of the Woodhead Line, out to Glossop and Hadfield. Primarily...
But it has been admitted by DTG it doesn’t work, IIRC.
CRR is even worse as there are no banking comms.
Separate names with a comma.
