Don’t think that’s true for some East German SIFAs. They only react when the light comes on.

An ECR Br 186 would be a good fit for the new Mannheim - Kaiserslautern route.

And in comes my mandatory post for support! :D The 140 would add so much to LFR as an appropriate freight loco and the 141 would be a much more...

I’m all for getting a V90 in TSW. I love the V60 but it’s quite odd to see her as the default shunter in TSW at this point. She’s still in service...

Very, very different beasts though. The 145 is a TRAXX, yes, but the 152 is a very different loco. Stronger, better to drive, and more reliable.

Since we have the F7, the problem here is probably more the coaches. I'm not that knowledgeable about passenger stuff. Probably quite a few types...

Your timing is impeccable, lcyrrjp. I wanted to do a Christmas Special and was thinking about running the Preston - Carlisle railtour or maybe...

Same here. I remember it being brought up before but never saw any reference provided.

I do seem to be one of the few recommending it :D I quite enjoy the route. It feels much busier than Boston Sprinter and you can stretch the...

Very scenic with interesting rolling stock. The 103 is a contender for the German loco (alongside perhaps the V200 or Br 01) and is overall nicely...

I’d say yes. It’s a busy route and gives the Acela a chance to really stretch her legs. Performance at NYP isn’t great (on normal PS5) but that is...

That’s what I thought all along. They won’t improve/revisit steam physics with Thomas - there won’t be much physics simulated at all. That seems...

Particularly common in this area are the 186 and the 185.0/1. Either of these would have been an exceptional fit for the route.

Well, I don't much appreciate the way you're twisting my words. My post was tongue-in-cheek. I don't hope/expect steam physics will be addressed....

Not really, no. I loved the series when they still used real models but I certainly have no need of it in a simulator. That would be an...

Well, I don't much care for it and think the development time would have been better spent elsewhere. That said, the elephant in the room for me...

While I wasn't on them too often back then, they sure stick with you. That acceleration sound is hard to forget - though much more pleasant than...

Well, I am as I have stated before. It's a somewhat local route for me so I'm looking forward to seeing it in TSW. I don't mind the lack of new...

On a whim, decided to run IC 2278 in the 101 Expert timetable tonight. Once at Frankfurt Süd, the game crashed. This is on PS5 with (I think) all...

That’s not going to work unless you cut out the rheostatic brakes. It’s generally not something that’s done on this side of the pond as far as I know.

Could you upload a video showing you setting up the loco? I can’t quite figure out what’s going wrong in your case. Also, is the expert mode...

I’d like to disagree here. Making the modern day route would remove any interest in it. The fact that the route digitally preserved the famous...

Please read my post again: Thank you. Just checking: Do you know if a PlayStation version is still coming as well given that this only mentions...

I’m only running on 1 and had about 2-3 faults in timetable runs by now.

Sorry, I just want to specify what I meant specifically. The weight of trains does feel good and braking without continuous air brakes is...

True, but I’d see it the other way around. It showed just what a tremendous design the 103 was. She managed to pull trains (more than) twice as...

In its current state, the price is very steep for what’s being offered - so I’d say no. That is unless you have some friends that you really want...

By now, the game is out on consoles. Has anyone tried it yet? I have taken the plunge on PS5 and put some hours into it. My feelings are very...

Yes. That is not a contradiction. 2nd class IC coaches were ocean-blue/beige.

As I just posted in the speculation thread, the screenshots are a dream come true to me. Exactly what I want to see more of in TSW. Silberlinge,...

Oh my, what can I say? Those screenshots are a dream come true to me. That’s the DB I want to see in TSW. Classic rolling stock in classic...

Interesting account of running with 2 Jubilees, LawrenceNL. I have added the Shap passing time. I would guess that 2 locos with double the weight...

Definitely doesn’t feel like a (sole) performance issue to me. There is something going wrong beyond that. It was fixed at some point but returned...

To sate my curiosity, could someone talk me through all the plugs and cables on the 87? [ATTACH] I’m assuming 1 and 3 are likely part of the same...

It’s just corpo speak for saying it is dead by hedging. The trouble with the 3rd parties line is that they seemingly want to stay far away from...

Even though we already knew she was most likely coming, I’m still incredibly excited to have the 86 officially confirmed now. Despite having been...

From what I recall based on German tap changers - yes, it will eventually damage the loco. It places unnecessary stress on the contactors and will...

I thoroughly loved reading your account, lcyrrjp. A great story of struggle and eventual success despite setbacks. Thank you for your praise of...

I know. My question is if the new timetable will crash as often as the original.

I will say - they look really sleek. Back when I first saw them and knew nothing about UK railroading, I would have never guessed they originated...

The 111 timetable actually has me interested, but I share the concerns voiced by stujoy and others. Will the timetable actually run on PS5 without...

I think so. If you check the overview page on the spreadsheet, I did post a run from Derby to Leicester (Up Palatine) on MML that had 2 Black 5s...

Something that really highlights the attention to detail JT have put into the 87: [ATTACH] I know these on/off indicators from the Class 77...

I also had a go at Preston - Carlisle today. I used a railtour from 1967 as inspiration and slightly adapted some timings a bit to avoid a long...

Onto my attempt. Join me on 45556 Nova Scotia as we climb Shap together. My timings can be found here. Since I did not know how to identify the...

I know many have been looking forward to this (myself included), so here we go. Our first run on JTs' Preston - Carlisle (WCMLoS) based on a real...

I have a lovely (part of a) winter night shift on WCMLoS for you. It’s 1S04 with the Class 87 at 00:32 - a mail train from Preston to Carlisle....

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall there being one rather weird mention of steam: When ranking what operations interest you on...

I’d like to specify that I was also talking about the timetable-free roam. I do forget that the free roam mode exists frequently, I’ll admit....

li150special, I haven’t checked on my PS5, but here’s a thought that just occurred to me. Given that we still work with only 64GB of DLC mounted,...
