Well it hasn’t stopped other routes where they don’t have licenses or CBA to include other company trains, BCC being a prime example with empty...
Jam sponge pudding, hmmmm….. (Homer Simpson voice).
I think that was what put me off NYT more than the bugs… Essentially about 40 miles of fast running once you crawl out to Newark. Should have gone...
Not having any real love for modern trains (apart from maybe the new TfW Flirts) doesn’t bother me one way or t’other. However in terms of...
Another leak. Still pre order discount is nice to see making a return, Just enough time to sneak off on the bike to Sainsbury’s (off to buy some...
Longer routes like SKW kind of defeat the point with half of it being in tunnel and most of the rest generic German woods and fields. However if...
Cab looks nice, let’s hope they’ve remembered to redact or fictionalise any real railway contact numbers on display!
:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
Good call. I mean although I would prefer the Class 81 to 87 era, I wouldn't be averse to a Pendolino in the game, over a Knotweed any day.
Not at all and it is a good point relative to steam too. Two or three branch or secondary lines could each have released with one or two locos...
Nor is it likely to tick many boxes with the current political climate. “Hi Vlad, Matt P here. Mind if we come and take pictures of your rocket...
Well they're all on leave now until some time after Easter, at which point no doubt priority will be barking up trade for EML and covering up the...
Of course it’s not just SoS which has suffered this fate. Several other DLC, notably Clinchfield, got high profile super hyped launches but never...
Wise words, either Fairford or something like the Lambourn branch which was by all accounts a lovely ride. For the LMS they could have done...
David Hey's site has a picture of an Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0 working a Derby to Buxton service, albeit in 1955. Same site also shows 2-6-4T tank engines...
Just looking Disused Stations and there is a 1957 picture of Buxton Midland with two rakes of LMS P3 stock (presumably for the very occasional...
I'm just dreading finding a Jubilee and 2 x Mark Ones working the Buxton services.
DTG give us a model railway to play with but no new trains to run on it…
Calder Valley always going to be too close to the existing NTP. Guess Hope Valley a possibility.
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...
Separate names with a comma.
