Yes that and the constant safety valves, even with so called "manual" firing, totally ruin what should be the purr of a steam engine at speed.
That would make me eat another pair of smelly socks...
80’s preferred also don’t forget the 305’s which were the workhorses of the outer suburban services. There is an outside chance this could be...
Even though 6000 miles away from where I sit, would like to see something like San Francisco MUNI, San Diego Trolley even Calgary LRT. Nice and...
Not quite the era but a Class 56 or even a Class 60 would go nicely with such a pack. Of course we don’t know to what extent the industries are...
They also haven’t fixed the sudden wheelslip at speed either.
I would eat my smelly socks for a nice Class 105 Cravens unit.
It was slightly improved but still falls far too quickly if you have to “give it the beans” climbing one of the modest banks on the route.
This thread basically sums up how I feel about SOS. Massive hype, massive potential yet now languishes in the bin of mostly forgotten legacy DLC....
Very disappointed that you haven’t budged on Peak Forest, that is the strong community feedback to extend the route south a few miles to Derby...
The Pacers still had Voith transmission, which technically makes them hydraulic. I could get on board (no pun intended) another heritage DMU...
If it's ECML would prefer something north of York, maybe Newcastle to Berwick. London to Birmingham far too long, UK routes are getting shorter so...
Same here. I really wanted this to be the route of the year for me, but DTG just blew a huge raspberry in everyone's face by disregarding...
Very mixed bag of information there. From my personal perspective, it now looks as if Skyhook MML very much leading the field in terms of the...
I have even toyed with the idea of building a Norwegian or Swedish route in Trainz, but doing it Russian style due to the lack of Scandinavian...
Another electric... Game could do with some diesel traction too.
(FTFW) Supposedly being fixed by DTG... Seems to have gone very quiet. And my hunch, is that there's more to it than the AI SPADs originally...
At this point definitely think DTG need a dedicated Tram Sim forum as per Catan and Fishing, with threads popping up in here and Off Topic. DTG...
TBH the Russia/Ukraine situation has faded into the background for most people and seems to be stalemated anyway. As regards the train sim scene,...
This scenario is a bit bugged, well either that or the full instructions for changing ends are not given then once you have changed ends for the...
Agree there needs to be a compromise - there are only so many short runs the market can take before it becomes saturated and I think that is...
Niddertalbahn seems pretty complete to me and relatively bug free. As others have noted above, I will return to SimRail when there is a serious...
Diesel Legends was an oddity at best, a selection of assets quite out of their era on a route set to a rather odd time stamp anyway, with a DMU...
Best wishes for the future.
TBH for steam on the IOW, I would rather see part of the Island lines as they were originally, before the wholesale closure. The whole network...
Used to love travelling on these in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Whether the Oxted Lines, Salisbury across to Pompey, Ashford to Hastings or the...
The fare dodgers/weed smokers…
Another yes please from me, so many potential future route DLC’s these could be accommodated on.
Simply put a must have for TSW, maybe as part of a classic era Southern Region diesel route.
Second that. Never was a route launched with so much fanfare, then allowed to drop right to the bottom (apart from maybe Clinchfield) of the...
I would say yes, simply because otherwise you will not be able to buy any of the new DLC that takes your fancy. There are issues with the over...
I’m assuming this will be similar to when they adopted FSX from MS for a while, in that their main role is as distribution agent/re-publisher and...
Oh I think I can be content to wait for the feast to start, rather than slipping into the kitchen and sneaking a sample of the stew!
Glad to have been of help. And yes, all TSW routes seem to vary the state in which you take over a train. Just hope this isn't one of those...
I think LondonMidland has already pretty much done so in one of his posts.
Great news, thanks. Hopefully it will be out in July so it can be my Steam birthday present from Mrs.M.!
Is this a scenario where you need to manually release the brakes on the fitted wagons, I wonder. Otherwise the steam physics in TSW are still so...
Any more news on Peak Forest please, Matt. Eagerly awaited even if it hasn’t been possible to add Derby. And yes, MML is on my Day One list...
To some extent in the US, it is also offset by the DPU's. I know from when I tried to emulate the famous Bakersfield Oil Cans in Run 8, I had to...
As this thread just got resurrected seems like an opportune moment to ask DTG when or indeed even if, the vehicles not stopping at closed road...
I have never quite understood the American obsession with bailing off the loco brakes. You can’t even do it on UK or (AFAIK) European loco hauled...
I have used this technique on US freight to keep moving without releasing then having to reapply the brakes, both in TSW and Run 8.
TBH my wallet breathed a sigh of relief as after the initial hype, Niddertalbahn was the only one really worth getting at full price. MML looks as...
Walking by the Toothill (Swindon) railway path last week, saw one of the TfW “Metro” Flirts go by on a Canton to Swindon test run and I was quite...
Without getting too embroiled in the earlier discussions one thing that does hit the nail on the head, regardless of the publisher, is that it's...
Nice idea and opens up the possibility of Sunday or overnight engineering operations. The downside is, a lot of time in engineering possessions is...
About the only advantage I can see of the 700 is the wide forward view, but I won’t be dropping it in my shopping cart on Day One or even Day...
I think the 123’s might have briefly appeared on Cardiff to Portsmouth services, but more common on the North and West when the service was DMU...
Indeed as I said elsewhere, just look at Clinchfield, SoS plus many others now languishing with outstanding bugs and fixes required more than...
So probably £50 (UK), :(
