1983 would also be interesting for a route North of Doncaster as the Selby diversion opened in May for local traffic, with some intercity services...
Not to mention Newquay station was heavily rationalised from the late 80s if I recall, operationally it would be much more interesting. On Summer...
Glad the era isn't changing, it's currently the only pure BR blue era route we have at the moment (even then the first signs of change were...
That's a shame if it is set in 2026, prevents any convincing backdated scenarios, plus IMO a lot of the charm of Par and Lostwithiel was lost with...
Reasonably, that route ends in Plymouth which is very close to the border between Devon & Cornwall at the river Tamar, whereas this route is in...
Class 118s were also very common on local traffic around Cornwall, especially the Newquay branch.
Couldn't agree more, the BR Blue wizzo doesn't have a proper route to run on really and it would be the perfect route for that. Plus as the...
Interesting that it lines up almost exactly with my very first post in the suggestions section in terms of route coverage. However, it's also a...
Fantastic news, and a decent 37 is sorely needed. Hopefully provides the impetus for a class 25 down the line.
Really is looking fantastic, and will also make a useful stand in for other DMU classes on the NTP remaster when that comes out too.
Now that we have sounds for an 85 it seems in a freeware TSC loco, perhaps the chances of at least that are increased? I seem to recall sounds...
The trouble with the WHL and other similar lines in Scotland is it's very much an A-B run regardless of the era, with limited replayability. Even...
TBH TSW7 is the least surprising bit of news so not a huge leak from JT. It could have even been a placeholder from JT based on previous years...
RE: Miles Platting, this may be of interest [MEDIA]
Miles Platting Jc at least had semaphores into the 90s. Probably the biggest change I can think of is Leeds being electrified between 87 and 88.
Thanks, I got that when accidentally switching to Vacuum Goods before switching back to Air Goods and had to end the run, I'll give that a go next...
The local traffic to/from Lime street handled by 304s are not present as there isn't a viable in game substitute. But I agree it's still quite...
Hurrah!
[IMG] Good luck everyone.
I do miss UKTS, there hasn't really been a good general Train sim forum site since although this is the closest to that until DTG axes it.
I've only just seen this, but I hope the decision is reversed. I thought we were assured that Discord would not replace the forums?
"Right yew lot...Shut up, belt up and if you can't see the bl**dy exits you must be bl**dy blind!"
Would need to check what the track layout is ahead of the signal but this is correct I believe. Normally the signal would be placed to the LH side...
I can only speak for myself, but I run TSW on a pretty average 'gaming laptop' and performance has been acceptable on the whole given just how...
Really enjoying the route, for a bit of fun I just had to try and make my own version of the 1989 'Birmingham to London in 5 minutes' using both...
It's a very good timetable, and the new announcements and period cars are great but there's a few minor bits of feedback: I miss the 31 and 45...
Some Mk3 sleepers would also be the perfect excuse to explore the night time diversions on Preston to Crewe. Perhaps it could be included as part...
Ah, I had assumed it would be routed via the M&C, but still good chunk of it can be run from Carnforth.
In theory too once the Cumbrian coast route is released one could drive the entire run which is exciting!
Cornwall would be great for some "Retro" scenarios as until the recent resignalling scheme it's changed very little since the 70s, but the only...
And also do I spy a Sierra & a Mk2 Golf amongst other possible new car models? [ATTACH]
Something I've just noticed from the manual screenshots is there appears to be brand new 80s npcs? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Here's the route map which I know a number of people have been asking for Quite excited for this!
Someone supplied some very good quality recordings of the essential sounds for an 85 in TSC, and someone at JT mentioned the sounds would be the...
Could have just have easily chosen BR Diesel, but with BR Electric you can have the best of both worlds often with some diesel workings. Plus, it...
I strongly suspect Preston - Crewe will feature, and it will be on the included class 86 + Mk2D stock which hasn't had a deep dive article yet.
[IMG]
Found it! Although like bigfoot there only exists some grainy photos to prove its existence ;) [ATTACH]
Where is that roughly? I've looked all round the woods but can't find anything?
The same for me, I've taken a sabbatical from TSW while Preston - Crewe awaits release but I'll be hopping back as soon as it is released. Mind...
I believe it's being rolled out after Preston-Crewe? I think JT Benedict mentioned it recently?
In fairness I don't think the class 40 is that bad, the peak has much worse sounds in my opinion. The only thing that irks me is someone has...
It's a real shame as it's the only UK route set in the 90s and doesn't really do the Cornish Mainline justice. Not including the branch to...
I would say routes which are more than a simple A-B run with lots of branches or alternative paths, and also a good mix of passenger and freight...
While it wasn't as common as suggested on the JT routes currently, 87s were used on freight services from time to time, 87101 was even painted...
Crewe is looking fantastic, hopefully eventually we'll see a 304 or a 310 to help populate the local AC services out of the station.
I think the chances are slightly better now we know there's a decent archive sound recording of one out there, but it's also worth bearing in mind...
I personally prefer the era JT have chosen or earlier, as while the operating department would have appreciated the arrival of DVTs very much, it...
Indeed, and typical of BR there's a temporary diversion to the slow lines which delays the Royal Scot by more than half an hour! It's a shame...
In fairness, at least with the 58 IIRC they were mostly allocated to the East Midland and South Yorkshire coalfields, don't think there were that...
Separate names with a comma.
