The environs around Minehead station are particularly bad. The old Beach Hotel is completely wrong and the Victoria Hall is completely missing....

For those wanting content for Australia, Canada, France etc what's to stop third-party developers in other countries coming to the table with...

Anything to anywhere as long as Rivet don't make it.

I think DTG need to have a serious conversation with Rivet about their policy of ignoring the problems with broken routes. DTG clearly want this...

It gets worse. If you come into Penzance slightly late with a loco hauled train, the Jocko (shunting engine) is already at the end of the platform...

From memory there were still some very occasional Mk2a coaches on loco hauled DMU substitutions on Plymouth Penzance stopping trains until around...

I think the point about Rivet releasing abandonware was meant as satire... but in fairness Rivet have said on streams not to expect substantial...

Why don't they take out the 40 and 45 and put in the 31 and 33? The 31 was fairly regular in this area and even the 33 appeared on railtours. The...

The area east of Truro is more wooded, but no where near as much as depicted in this route. I used to travel the route regularly - I was last...

Yes and from memory I think some of the emergency equipment had to be locked away (detonators) in a special cabinet - impossible in non brake...

Isn't there a brake valve and gauge in the Mk2a that the guard is supposed to check? ( Just going from memory and reading operating instructions...

Without the brake control gear and without being able to carry out a brake test as a guard you would not be permitted to bring the train into...

On the 37 don't be surprised the brakes don't work properly as the train doesn't even have a brake coach! I could have spotted this error when I...

A lot of the scenery is frankly a work of the imagination. St Ives is rather like they described it it down a phoneline to the art editor. I find...

The ECW was provided with a new timetable anyway with the new DLC. The London services operate on different lines from different platforms so it...

I find it difficult to understand why ECW hasn't been updated with the London services. After all this is a "current route" - DTG have just...

Yes I often think a "Walk Sim World" would be quite popular! When I had the Greek version of Assassin's Creed I did very little fighting but...

There is actually a scenario in South East Coastway where you have to do this, but I was joking about the 150 - I'm sure it's just a bug in this case.

Run a Western Diesel with larger windows and wider FOW and you realise how poor some of the distant scenery really is... And yet you still get...

It operated ballast and air braked freight in this era (1990s). It was also often used between 1989 -1993 on DMU substitutions as the second...

The problem is that if they haven't even bothered to check the menu screen, one immediately suspects everything else has received the same lack of...

I recommend the Western Class 52 on this route ( using scenario editor). A Whizzo on 12 bodies over the Cornish banks on a wet day is something of...

But many of the mistakes aren't "commercial choices" they are just careless mistakes that could have been rectified by a few simple checks. Trains...

So apart from the fact the primary trains have the wrong sounds and the wrong physics, the layers are historical fantasies, passenger trains lack...

Additionally all the girder overbridges are identical clones too, despite being very varied in real life. They do have wings, although they are...

The more you look at this, the more problems you spot. Almost ALL the stone bridges are cloned, lack detail and don't even have retaining wings...

If you look closely the AWS equipment is also from the FGW era. It's basically a FGW era unit in a 1993 skin. I speculated earlier that this was...

Someone needs to tell the NPC passengers as they still turn up waiting for a train!

Oddly the St Ives branch seems to be by far the best graphically - but they ruined it with poorly detailed and cloned bridges. And yes, despite...

Some parts are quite noticeable. The stone bridges on St Ives branch aren't detailed and are copies of each other. Some shops at intermediate...

Yes, I just felt the scenery was rather inconsistent in quality. The lineside scenery on the eastern end of the route looked rather bland and...

The St Ives branch is a 20mph restriction for most of the route in the Up direction. I know there is quite a low restriction but this can't be...

Yes I caught a HST Castle from Exeter to Plymouth this summer - it's a fantastic journey and a must for any rail fan visiting the UK.

I think we have to assume that there is a time warp portal somewhere near the Long Rock washer... there can be no other explanation for all these...

Manchester Metrolink would be good - it mainly uses former railway routes and reserved track so car traffic and people would be less of an issue.

West Coastway for me. A great route with some interesting short branches like Bognor Regis and picturesque scenery.

Wouldn't the obvious approach to the introduction of steam be to layer it into West Somerset? Then you could have practically any famous preserved...

It's a very long story - a lot of so called preserved diesels were in too poor a condition for main line operation, many did not have modern...

During the 1980s and early 1990s privately owned preserved diesels were banned from charters or passenger operations on BR metals. (Only light...

Remember the preserved diesel ban meant preserved diesels could not operate passenger railtours in this period. So withdrawn 40s and 45s could not...

The Pacers or Skippers only operated from Laira from 1986 as the Western got the second batch. They only lasted two years because - to use the...

I'm not suggesting scrapping the 150 altogether - just offering a 1984/5 timetable without it as an alternative for those looking for a more...

Of course the other way to make the timetable realistic is to ditch the 150 ( which doesn't sound like it's well modelled anyway) and run it as a...

I'm afraid this is just getting a bit silly now - 40s were very rare anywhere west of Taunton and unknown beyond Exeter (except on railtours)...

On the Mk2a/bs you would be better painting them in Network SouthEast or Regional Railways livery. Some of these did appear west of Exeter on...

Not sure - the main problem is that Mk2a/b/c coaches are very different to the air cons that were running in Cornwall after 1992 so it's not just...

Just wanted to say I do commend DTG for trying to add "play value" but there comes a point when running trains from different periods damages...

The last 40 was withdrawn at least 6 years before 1992 which is the earliest this could be set based on the Regional livery of the 150.

That's not Regional Railways livery it's Provincial livery. Regional Railways didn't even launch its corporate identity documents untill November...

What year is this meant to be set? 150s didn't go into regional railways livery until 1992 and by then all regular 47 Intercity services were...
