Mainly based on the "Flying Scotsman" reference and that the Class 700 is looking for a route to spread its wings. That and the "Smithfield"...
This would be a great route to have in TSW though my preference would be a slightly earlier era to do Carlisle full justice, when all the avoiding...
I see a few pigs just flew past the window outside..!
Still think Newcastle to Carlisle could be a possibility and at 60 miles just about doable as a TSW “primo” release.
Well hopefully following tomorrows announcement, the "what if/is it" threads can get locked so the discussion about "what it is" doesn't end up...
Yes BBO is not the best route, seems to have been rushed out. It is quite short, suffers from red signal issues saving and resuming a game....
Yes it’s actually 29 hours (as of now).
For the UK Class 45 with the 31 a close runner up. US got to be the Clinchfield F7 with the SFC Baby Bullet the runner up. Germany is harder to...
Bremen to Oldenburg.
Oops sorry. You are right - it was BBO I found it layered.
101, 155 and the BR401 though doing Journey mode it's whatever that throws at me.
Anecdotally, I remember MSTS where the world projection did funny things the closer you got to the equator. I remember marking out a Japanese...
I've even just amended my signature to embrace the new title format!
Could it now be known as TSWorld..? Matt you have just done a JD. You will need to stand in the naughty corner until Tuesday!
You whippersnappers... I want Locomotion on TVL! Locomotion No. 1 - Wikipedia
Oh I agree but just considering what is practical for a TSW route. Berwick to Edinburgh is also very nice but you don't have the local traffic...
LIRR the other day I had someone step off the platform in front of my train. DTG in all seriousness need to sort this out. There are real railway...
Newcastle to Berwick would be a good choice with a mix of fast running but some curved sections and nice scenery along the coast. A little bit of...
This. Effectively as soon as TSW4 comes out (unless of course they are moving to a free core update) TSW3 will be on the slow train to...
There are certain posters who you can set your clock by when it comes to reliable reviews, one way or the other (no names, no pack drill). Two...
I remember when I was working for one of the UK TOC’s as a Control Duty Manager. We had been making spurious enquiries about something better than...
Funny anecdote… Just bought a Toyota Yaris Hybrid and driving round the hospital car park the other day on the juice, could swear I heard a faint...
I would say not having to spend 50% of the timetable in a cab car is a major selling point of 101! :)
Very true. I started my railway interest in the late 60’s/early 70’s, then starting work on the real railway in 1977 opened up the network with...
It is pretty much a straight blast through a route consisting of 50% tunnels, the outside sections being largely identical wooded hills with only...
I think the answer from me is that there would have to be something fundamentally wrong or different for me not to preorder, based on the leaked...
SKW allows a bit faster but sadly compared to the other German routes it’s a bit of a bore fest. A good way to enjoy German routes is to do some...
I guess it was done to make cleaning easier but up until the mid 1980's even the early 90's, a lot of European railways only provided plastic or...
Nearly as bad as Trainsim dot com... I mentioned in their Run 8 section they need to look at adding Antelope Valley to SoCal. Thread generated a...
This. I have always enjoyed western USA railroading and to me seeing Soledad Canyon in the game is a dream come true 6500 miles away. In fact I...
I think the key factors are going to be: Details of the three (four?) new routes and accompanying locos/stock. Bundle information and pricing. If...
Sadly, Journey mode which is supposed to be the “Editor’s Choice” to showcase a route frequently drops runs that cannot be completed for some...
Assuming it is the Antelope Valley, or as I prefer to call it Soledad Canyon, hopefully the reasoning will be explained on Tuesday.
Yes fresh speculation is that it might be Settle and Carlisle, or as I pondered last night Newcastle to Carlisle which also frequently hosts steam...
My wife will not be persuaded to forgo her afternoon walk in my stimulating (!) company for a train sim presentation… So I will be amongst those...
I think the more relevant question at this point is how well the preserved collection will come across into what is likely to be TSW4…
Well I actually prefer the older DB stock and was a bit gutted the route didn’t come with some UIC AM/BM corridor stock, the ones with those...
Ah yes, but still smack bang when most people in the UK are otherwise occupied…
Referring of course to the big reveal next Tuesday. Early afternoon is going to see a significant number of people not being able to tune in...
RSN is quite good with some nice scenery and a few gradients. If the PZB/LZB is a bit daunting at first try running with it off until you...
They could have made Oakville when CN and CP still operated their own passenger services!
Thanks, spotted that earlier. It doesn’t look that much improved though and it seems from what others are posting much of the functionality is not...
Dresden to Riesa definitely. The main line splits for some of the distance and you get the Meissen branch with its historic townscape. Huge...
Blink and you miss it!!
This is already being discussed in other threads so while subject to confirmation, day or two old news at this point.
Think that comes under the heading of admit nothing, deny everything. Also good to hear Clinchfield not forgotten, main issue being banking comms...
I think most speculation about ECML arose from the fact that, 1. They didn't just make the 700 for the SEHS bus service. The reference to "Flying...
Source?
Except nothing has happened... yet. Maybe there will be more information in a future roadmap, but IMHO anyone dreaming that a Birmingham or...
Some of us crave a North Wales Coast in the 1970's and yes as I mentioned in a subsequent response, some in my list are main lines just not London...
Separate names with a comma.
