:D In reality, it's because the UK doesn't have endless miles of 2% grades and 10,000t trains - dynamics add cost, complexity and weight and are...
So are you claiming the signalling system means there can never be a stop signal inside a tunnel (whether inside or outside the cab)?
TSW has signals inside tunnels, so I assume they're there IRL too, and if they show a stop indication the driver must stop. But I can quite see...
Piccalilli is basically pickled cauliflower florets with a lot of (English) mustard added (and possibly turmeric for extra colour). I'm not a fan.
Yes, he seemed to expect that there were open as well as corridor coaches (still second class, though), which would suggest that some work must...
And use the period instead of comma as a 'thousands' separator. It's very confusing :) Actually, decimal point is not the period, it should...
Chiltern FTW. We've now got a 170 (although they're modified as 168/3s on Chiltern) and a Class 68 push-pull would be brilliant!

The definition of a Scottish gentleman: someone who knows how to play the bagpipes ... and doesn't!
Oakville is transformed by the new mod that adds GO trains (only for those on PC, of course).
There was a universal mastery unlocker/'cheat' mod, it still works for me.
FWIW, I bought the ScotRail+'engineering' pack, for the same reason (to enhance the Fife Circle), but I'm enjoying it very much (with the...

There was a 900mm gauge railway at Reykjavik docks, and there's still an 1890 steam loco plinthed there.
For most British lines, they could just repeat "See it, say it, sorted" on an endless loop and it would be pretty close to real life. :)
TBF it's a problem on many non-US routes, too.
Yes, that's a 'problem' with quite a few high-speed routes (including HS2 if it ever gets finished, currently it's a toss-up whether we see the...

A 27 would be lovely, but I remember ~1980 these services being topped and tailed by class 47/7s. A mod to remove the OHLE (as was done for GWE)...
I wouldn't dispute that, but the same was true of deep coal mines in France, Belgium and Germany and they all closed at around the same time as...
Utterly wrong. Fundamentally, what killed the UK coal industry was improvements in surface transport*, allowing cheap surface-mined coal from the...
Surely °K ;)

Ha! My first pint was 1/6 (7½p). Merry Xmas!!
Except Chiltern don't operate the loco-hauled (class 68) trains to Oxford. I think there may have been a few runs in the past (probably when the...
I'd be ecstatically happy with Marylebone to Banbury (or Oxford?)
It's not a company of 200 developers. There'll be HR, Finance, Marketing ... And, of the developers, some will be maintaining and enhancing the...
I'm seeing the same thing. It only happens in cab view, external cameras aren't affected (or perhaps it's just less visible). This was on the...

Pixelade In your Steam Library page, right click on TSW4, select Properties, and add a startup option of -DX12.
Just for info, dtg_jan I've restarted Steam, but still nothing. I'm out this evening, so I can wait :)
RLB the thread has been open for just a few minutes and there are several others already open, with DTG responding. Have patience, Grasshopper.
