Medway Valley Line Discussion Thread

I do have to say I'm very intrigued to hear this special sound set. ECW was my closest home route so I've been on electrostars more than anything else. The current sounds are okay to my ear (despite the horrible horn cut off when you're moving) but I'm interested to hear what I've been missing so to speak (especially if it's won over JW ).

I'm happy they've gone for a smaller route and just focused on getting something good for their first release as well. Definitely not biting off more than you can chew. Even if modern isn't strictly my era I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one!

 

Fair point, but I'm local to part of that section so it feels a bit less boring to me that it might others

 

Game issue yes, but it's game issue that issue that potentially affects your product. You all may be saying that you believe it runs fine on console, including series s because it runs fine on a similarly specced PC, but that still doesn't mean it will. I hate to compare third parties, but all aboard said that Birmingham Crewe had no issues on console... and look how that turned out...

 

I also wasn’t participating in the whole ‘you shouldn’t say X’ bla bla above but I absolutely refute the logic that you developing & selling content has nothing to do with issues within that content relating to a particularly wide reaching & catastrophic problem.

Regardless of who’s primarily responsible for that particular problem, you don’t get to just knowingly sell products that share the issue & redeem yourself of any culpability regarding it.

 

I'm very excited about the route announcement! For me personally, it's a wonderful choice! I'm eagerly awaiting its release. I'm incredibly excited about the new, improved versions of the Electrostars. I have a special fondness for this family of trains.
The route itself is very much in demand. I hope that the Chatham and North Kent line will open very soon, which together will create the Southeastern Network route, where the 465, 375, and 700 class trains will be fully operational.

 

They are perfectly right to expect it'll run the way they expect it to, based on the testing they've done so far. I don't see anything wrong with that, they've done the best they can with what they've got.

Never got the chance to use their mods due to not being on PC, but if those are as good as they're made out to be, the I have full confidence that what they've said is true.

 

Fired up the Medway Crompton DVD this morning on the exercise bike and just a slight regret the route wasn’t set back when the line had semaphore signals and 4CEP’s plus a bit more of the rail served industry. Still it is a nice scenic meander, not much straight track and has the potential to be the UK Niddertalbahn in TSW.

 

Which was just updated and looking suburb I might add
