I will have to see if I can remember any of the other maximum loads but as it’s getting on for 5 years since I retired, the memory is a bit hazy....

I suspect Journey mode on MML is greatly constrained by the service pattern, which is essentially drive a HST from Leicester to Nottingham or...

They also stop on a dime, so you can hit the platform ramp doing 30 MPH and not even break a sweat that you’ll stop in time, probably not even...

The weight limit for a Class 66 before a banker is required is 1050 tonnes. Not sure about a 60. There are also further limits according to...

No it’s a long and tired bug with this route, some runs work fine but others just get jammed up. Another of DTG’s might fix sometime but probably...

Yes. Barring an actual incident the Royal Train never gets a signal check and is usually “double blocked” to further minimise the risk of a...

Interesting because the assumption previously was the failures were happening because people had failed to activate the fireman in manual mode. If...

I second that! And now we have a second example of a community mod in less than a week (first being the green DMU), this time fixing something...

Looks like the "nays" have it, including mine. This is why the proposals for modern tube routes rarely get an upvote from me as most of those are ATO.

So a customer can do a lovely green reskin of the 101, okay probably still with the BR blue interior, but DTG with all their art resources...

Out of curiosity, what is the undocumented key command?

Indeed. Nowhere more apparent that lighting needs sorting is Peak Forest. The route itself is superb, with a few caveats, but the lighting spoils...

Couldn’t agree more. Seeing the route from a diesel loco or DMU cab is totally different from looking down the long boiler of a steam loco.

Agree. The route itself is second to none, apart from one section of missing hill and also last night doing Chinley Gala, I noticed on the bit...

100% support this. The release of the otherwise excellent Peak Forest route with it's deficient timetable means it is high time we got something...

Had my first go with the 4F earlier and loving it, well apart from the safety valve which is a known issue. It also seems to permanently show one...

You could be right. I've noticed that in Trainz too while working in Surveyor, turn the camera so the light is angled a certain way and it's like...

And PFR... Or maybe we could clone him!

Would be nice apart from the usual caveat about trundling along at 25 MPH with big locos (steam or diesel). However it would be a nice route on...

Could be Ambergate to Chinley via the Hope Valley... :) :)

DTG Matt Thanks for the response to issues back across the previous page. First of all think it's fair to say the majority of players are...

Glad it helped. I think the situation is arising as I said, because when you start a run in "Manual" the firebox door is open and you can hear...

Same answer as previous. You either need to enable auto firing or if in manual mode hit “F” or mouse/pad the firebox door open to trigger the...

I suppose they could spring a SEHS on us with extensions to London Bridge and Eastbourne, plus the 700. Though I would sacrifice that for a retro...

That would be my teeth grinding hoping the brakes get the speed off in time!

What's worrying is that the usual silence is emanating from DTG. Loads of issues and points being raised here, even by those of us who are...

Scenario Planner, in Off The Rails Mode.

They sound lovely though!

Continuing on with the Class 20's which, incidentally, seem a little underpowered - down to 16 MPH with 1482 tonnes on the 1 in 100 climbs north...

Effectively the fire will go out and the loco fail, even though there are no visual prompts or onscreen information to indicate this. Try it and...

Now off at a bit of a tangent, but something else this route shows up lacking once again in TSW is the lack of... Decent Ambient Train Sounds...

Ensure you are either in automatic firing or, if manual, hit "F" to trigger the AI fireman to actually do some work.

PFR timetable definitely needs fleshing out, even if that has to come via a paid DLC (Class 104, Ivatt 4MT etc.). At the moment and I may be...

For the modern classic routes a Class 56 seems the obvious choice, could layer in on several. Class 142 also really ought to come. Heritage DMU...

Yes going on current route building capacity, Temple Meads to Severn Beach and Parkway would be about their limit, on a par with Manchester to...

It’s a steam engine not an Electrostar. By 750 feet or 250 yards you should be doing no more than 15 or 20 MPH. As noted above you obviously...

The buy it outright version of TRS22 still gives you Surveyor, just not the "beta" 2,0 version which is only for suscription users. Full version...

Got the 20's out now, freakin' awesome... [ATTACH]

Oh yes the route (bar the lighting) is fantastic. Scenic, challenging to drive but plenty of space for thrash - far more than NTP - though heading...

The route itself is great, well apart from the lighting and the missing hillside. One of the best UK routes in the sim so far I would say, but...

[ATTACH] Okay for the benefit of everyone, here it is. DTG Matt in case the route builder isn't already aware, please pass on with his/her tea...

Driving in the Up direction about 4 or 5 miles before you get to Matlock, if you look towards the right distance it is immediately noticeable,...

This is my worry. There is so much potential for additional steam, or a classic diesel. Give me a Class 104 DMU, Class 25 and a green Class 45 and...

Extreme caution advised then! However as noted you wouldn’t have been using a Jubilee, but a smaller loco and maybe 57ft coaches all of which...

Probably the falling gradient, but I still question whether IRL you would have been shunting quite so close to the signal. Just wondering what the...

The other thing which I just spotted on my Class 45 run in the Up direction and DadRail pointed out in his YT run with the 101, is the missing...

Yes 166's came from Reading after the first batch of 387's displaced them off Thames services. Unfortunately they couldn't keep to the 143/150...

Yes I already spotted and mentioned this one, somewhere. In reality for a shunt move that required to approach that close to the signal you would...

I'm also thinking of a "What if..." scenario using the EMT HST and 158 from MML. HST on the express services and 158 on the stoppers and Buxton...

What we need now from DTG is to follow in the footsteps of SHG on MML, with an open and honest list of fixes and improvements they will be working...
