Thanks, I was inspired by my friend Tim who regularly gets shots from there such as this one https://flic.kr/p/2s2KzEJ
That's the slow line south of Wigan, it's 20/30 from Bamfurlong Jn down to Golborne. It's not that slow now but I believe when they were getting...
I agree, I'm not the biggest fan of one handle drive units but they are enjoyable on this route and I'm not sure why :)
A few more shots scanned in from around 86-88. [ATTACH]86411 leaves Crewe P6 with a Blackpool bound service, I'm not a fan of "platform" shots...
Well that's quite harsh in my opinion, JT can only test on PC and largely it seems to run perfectly fine for PC users (it's been flawless for...
The Sierra Cosworth got a good thrashing on this day back in '86, I still remember it well... There was a BLS charter doing a few of the...
[ATTACH] Waste of bloody film, waiting out by Winwick for a special I saw 142058 in its new Merseyrail/Regional Railways livery so fired off a...
Nah, it's handed down from generation to generation...
I sort of disagree, it's outside the accessible area and in theory the tracks are only there so that the trams can run, the trams can be seen by...
Well they are both compatible for multiple working in real life, should be the same in game.
I've always maintained (on the topic of NTP) that extending it to Liverpool is almost an absolute necessity, it allows running from one end to...
Just wait for Dovetail Live, they will announce that it's fixed as part of a switch to UE5 and that TSW7 on the new UE engine comes with one...
According to my records on this date in '88 I went for a bash on a Man Vic - Blackpool "Club" train since it had some decent motive power on the...
Interesting, on release it was only slightly blurry (I'd figured as part of the core patch) which sharpened up perfectly if you got a little...

True, it is just irritating that the route is actively being nerfed in order to make it more playable for others when some of us are not having...
I think the optimisation has been a bit overkill, prior to the patch there was a little bit of blurriness at a distance which cleared up as you...
There does seem to be some random issue with vehicles being launched into orbit or otherwise derailing, I've had it myself at Ince Moss Tip, was...
Ah good to know, thanks :)
Are those AI services being left in the PC version?
Yeah, personally I enjoy the 158 far more than the 170 so will be missing out yet again to appease others. I know TSC is a joke with regard to the...
I'm surprised that the Blackpool North Gestapo branch didn't escort you off property... For those not in the know with the joke, the legendarily...
One little thing with the 20, might be worth looking next to the door (right hand side / nose end) and using the vacuum chamber release, depends...
[ATTACH] 20071 is seen heading south past s#icide crossing with the 6P81 Deepdale to Warrington Arpley Speedlink job.
The Deepdale services use a mix of HEA and PCA wagons, according to the manual the PCA wagons come with the Class 31 DLC :)

Some odd behaviour noticed earlier today on the "coffins", the vestibules are blocked/clogged with passengers. It starts at the loco end of the...
There shouldn't be any on the wagons, the brake selector on the locomotive will tell the locomotive to adjust the brake timings accordingly, it...
I agree Vern, it's quite a fun unit to give a good thrashing on the express runs on Edinburgh-Glasgow but doesn't really get much of a run...
Ahh thanks for the info, for every day I'd be out on an air braked train I'd have done six on vacuum and sadly it's been two years since I was on...
Dare I say it but the New York poster is also missing a couple of towers :( I can't remember where I saw that one, might have been Crewe.
I'm not sure what it was in the 80s but it's certainly not the case now. It only applies on the UP Slow as the Down Slow is 75 in game, thinking...

With regard to the brakes, I've just done a quick test on the 47/3 using various stock, the brakes are releasing fine under "passenger air"...
It will be quite entertaining to watch the blowback on this, no doubt a few youtube channels will be already running with this and videos will be...
So far the only action I've seen is posts being deleted, mine and others. All hail DTG...[ATTACH] Joking aside, this is really bad, the whole...
My thoughts exactly, imagine if the TrainSimCommunity website opened up a forum, most folks would migrate over to there and DTG would have no say...
Well there's your proof that DTG are pretty much the enemy, welcome to North Korea. Most of us on here are here because we don't use Discord for...
Haha I hear you, I went to Chicago last year for my 40th and loved it, got my first US train ride in I guess having taken the Green Line down to...
I've just noticed that 6T76 FFPS-Bickershaw is missing the second part, you can go from Fiddlers to Warrington Sidings in Pt 1 but then if you...
I'd recommend the CTA Connections YouTube channel, it has end to end cab rides of all of the lines and branches :)...
It's a bit harsh to blame JT for performance issues which arise because of DTG's crappy coding abilities (I'm surprised they aren't a government...
