    Thinking of grabbing this as a last minute item in the sale.

    However just one concern - a couple of Steam reviews reference an issue running the loco in 64 bit, which is pretty much de facto now for TSC. Specifically, issues getting the boiler to fill with water.

    Can anyone confirm if this is still a problem or has it been fixed?

    Good day and welcome to another year!

    I have just set up some tests for you and can confirm that water is taken into the boiler whether in Advanced or Standard mode, and whether using Autofireman or not.

    Hoping this helps,

    John

    Good luck with your purchase. I am sure it will be ok. I will be buying VW GWR Castle Class in the Easter Sale possibly.

    Just bought it so will update with my findings.

    Always like to support Pete's work and I hope the 9F will eventually make its way on to Steam too.

    The new Castle is by Bossman games, and is excellent.

    I will be picking up the VW 9F shortly, it looks great from what I have seen of it.

    Just to report the County is superb. Only running it in standard mode at present but the physics seem spot on and the sound is superb too. After a stint with the Jubilee in TSW the last few days, it's a breath of fresh air.

    Victory never disappoint.

    Racked up a few more miles and well, what can I say - fantastic experience. It's a loco you want to come back to driving.

    Take a bow VictoryWorks . Brought a smile to my wrinkled old face.
