The timetable is indeed rather odd, thanks to the decision to start the route at Ambergate where few expresses call rather than Derby. Seems the...

Or indeed as I suggested earlier buy a virtual Day Rover (woof, woof) and travel up and down the line visiting the various POI’s.

I’ll have to look through the collection but certainly the one for sale on Steam, which dates from around 2010, isn’t shown as owned. I suppose...

...which is why I'm now driving the Class 101 all stations from Ambergate to Buxton. Yes it's a little OP in full throttle in Gears 1 and 2 (just...

I think I would have to disagree about the 8F as it is being underpowered. When I did the assist mission on SoS, it took off like a Class 87 even...

As the crow flies, or these days the A9 drives probably that, but with both the Lairg loop then the long trek up the Strath Of Kildonan then...

Absolutely this and while no one wants them to rush things and/or forgo thorough testing, the old cliche about proofs and puddings does hold true.

I suspect it's the lack of the full pasenger service which is more the issue, particularly local stopping trains, the expresses not booked to stop...

Actually Inverness to Wick is 161 miles with a further 6 miles from Georgemas to Thurso. It would be magnificent, set back in the era of Class 26...

Definitely not, in fact I think we should picket DTG Towers until they give us the required Class 25 and Class 104 DMU. And I agree about PIS,...

The mystic portal awaits...

It hasn't stopped DRS and their (his) interpretation is pretty good. Railcar dot co dot uk has many images on it and many of these DMU's exist in...

A retro GEML with 308’s, 309’s and diesel hauled InterCity services would be interesting but modern era would not be top of my wish list. Besides...

Re the 166, IIRC IRL the Turbo classes could not be coupled to Sprinters due to control and electrical differences, though the classes all share...

Don’t bother with NYT. Niddertalbahn is nice but the experience is very samey once you’ve done one run across the route in each direction, very...

Amen to that on the diesels. I really hope for once DTG are listening and already have a 25 and 104 on the whiteboard along with the retro skin...

The steam physics in TSW continue to be, IMHO, worse than those in Trainz! Got to wonder if Simugraph is really up to the task of calculating the...

I'm sure it never happened like this prior to the changes a couple of weeks ago. If this feature is here to stay, then the boffins at DTG need to...

As I said above, Journey Mode is going to work best on a route with diverse service patterns or where there are interesting scenarios that can be...

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...
