The best ‘pro’ locos on Train Sim Classic are steam, and most of them are produced by third party developers such as Bossman, Steam Sounds Supreme...
People knew that when the brilliant Peak was released DTG STILL hadn’t fixed the steam physics and STILL haven’t - that will affect sales. By...
This isn’t strictly true, its only the case when only one or two steam locos are in traffic at opposite ends of the line and there is a timetable...
DTG haven’t given us this update, one of the devs (Liam I believe) gave up his own time to remaster this route and he is the one who deserves all...
How the ‘Diesel Legends of the Great Western’ pack included the Class 08 & Class 101 but left out the Class 42 Warship, a real western region...
I think that sounds like a great idea As an aside, someone mentioned the Donny to York section of the route as having little operational...
Its not normal to model everything to that extent, and does point to future DLC expanding the line which again is not unusual.
Just Trains are the TPD, if only all DLC was to their exacting standards and quality control TSW4 customers wouldn’t have a single complaint about...
News from Vintage Trains advising of their decision for their mainline fleet to concentrate on GWR locomotives, meaning they will be disposing of...
You mention the SVR, another GWR branch line, quote three locos but with respect completely fail to mention the Hall Class, 57xx, 78xx in service...
A ‘short heritage spur’ ? It’s a 22 mile former branch line, including Norton Fitzwarren, with a link to Taunton where the branch line...
WSR - surveyed by Brunel in 1856 - amalgamated in the the Great Western Railway in 1876, remaining part of the GWR for 72 years until the...
it might be an interesting exercise to look up the date the issue originates from and check the time expired, but then again it depends how bored...
We are now moving away from what was being discussed into semantics over wording in the statement, which if you refer back to an earlier post i...
To be fair I covered this directly in my post above, and a preference, whefher you agree with the assertion or not, absolutely makes zero sense...
That’s the question I have Vern, not having any coding knowledge of how these things work my closing comments are based on the assumption that DTG...
Speaking from a heritage railway viewpoint, steam draws the public to a much greater extent than diesels/DMUs. Various major heritage railways in...
I have been playing TSC since 2010, just not at present. I’m sure your comment wasn’t intended as gatekeeping John, and was intended to lament the...
Even with mods, i’ve been playing the various versions since 2010, and from a graphically aesthetic viewpoint TSC cannot match TSW, not even with...
My view is DTG may well be correct regarding the current TSW player base, as until SoS was released TSW was viewed in the train sim community as...
Hi All I’ve been active here for a few days and not gotten around to doing an introduction post yet so aiming to rectify that now. I’m being...
Thank you, very kind :)
After doing a 90 minute full stopping run from Minehead to Bisops Lydeard on a WSR scenario without making a single issue, I got a SPAD failure...

Regarding comments about the Riviera Line in the 1950s, a firm favourite of mine from TS, I think I’d struggle to contain myself if that was...
The disappointing thing is the West Somerset was a Great Western Railway branch line to 1948 and then a British Railways Western region branch...
Seconded, an excellent suggestion for a new route, lots of operational possibilities and a good line length. A busy Liverpool Street is an...
Seconded, either as a current route or set in the 1950s bringing Tilbury Riverside station into play. The only addition I feel must be added to...
