    Has a patch for PS5 and other consoles been released yet to choose any 101 on West Cornwall Local?

    Nice add on, but one or two slight issues.
    Why is there two tail lamps on the end of the Mark1s as same on SoS? Should only be one tail lamp.
    The AWS bell rings for far too long.
    Plus the OLE warning signs on the rear of the tender and near the front running plate are too big.
    Other then that a cracking dlc

    I am having an issue getting the train to appear in timetable. I am on PS5 and there is nothing coming up when I click timetable. The loco dosnt show up. All I have are the scenarios. How do I fix this?

    Im not a particular fan of the rusty valve gear on the liveries either. There's no way they'd be that rusted on preserved locomotives like these. But apart from that I totally agree from what I've seen!

    Um, why would an LMS locomotive be running in Cornwall? That was Great Western territory.

    The idea is that it's a restoration railtour type deal. Not meant to represent the line as it was, just a fun "what-if" excursion run on the route with a restored Jubilee.

    When Creator's Club freeware liveries can be on-par, if not better than the official DLC ones, you know it's bad. Two times in a row now, this pack and the UP heritage ones are such low quality.

    Adding onto the above...
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    - Why is the thickness of the lines so inconsistent on the livery
    - Why are the Danger decals so beat up on whats supposed to be a preserved loco?
    - Why are the rods on the side of the locos so rusty? Again on what's supposed to be a preserved loco.

    Last mention...
    Is the British Railways logo supposed to be like this? (genuine question as i'm not really familiar with BR). I drew some straight lines in Paint, and the logo used on the loco is not "straight"

    (disclaimer: the first image is extracted straight from the pak file using FModel, the second image is the same one, however edited by me in Paint to add the pink guidelines to show how bad it is.)

    There goes my money off the table. For a livery DLC the liveries should at least look good.

    Oh wow. That texture maybe was a photo once, hence the reflection. And therefore the wierd angle / shape.

    Agreed, I refunded it myself as well.

    How stuff like this and the UP Heritage Collection is allowed to release in the states they're in are beyond me.
    Indeed it is a snapshot of a photo. Not a great way to make a payware livery.

    I suspect there was no current vector graphic file available for such an old logo or livery, as was the case with the Swiss GE4/4 anniversary liveries. That's why these textures look so great. I.e. you would first have to recreate the entire logo in Illustrator, although a high-resolution photograph of the original logo on the original locomotive would also work. Clearly the light reflections are annoying at the end, if necessary you could retouch them in photoshop, which is also very tedious. Nevertheless, such DLCs bring more variety, just because of the steam locomotives and scenarios.

    Still, it's good to know that comparisons like this immediately make Creators Club liveries more appreciated. ;)

    They still could’ve taken the effort to edit that texture in Photoshop to straighten it and make the colours more accurate, especially the black where the British Railways text is. Considering it’s payware.

    The two different shades of Black and the reflection visible in the texture looks horrible.

    You forgot two really bad ones the red stripes one the black loco start to break as you move away from the loco and the yellow strip just behing the crimson locos stack broken even when looking at it close up.

    I wonder if you can run this on other routes as a matter of fact
    This was based on the 28-30 April 2022 steam rail tour & 2001

    Only seen one with the 37/5 on WCL.
    1655 off Penzance.
    Make sure you use the WCL 37 and not Tees Valley as it wont show up if you use TVL.

    It's an early morning Edinburgh-Fort William railtour via Glasgow Queen Street, the return is Glasgow-Edinburgh in the evening. I like them.

    Would it have really hurt, to put some ai traffic in on the scenarios.
    Loads of empty sidings too

    There are piles and piles of recreations of the cycling lion online. Copying one of these recreations would be perfectly legal.

    I have to admit that I enjoy this DLC. I would like a little more services, but I'm happy with this. I have no regrets about the money spent. Many thanks to the guys from Rivet for their work! I hope there will be more content like this.

    Finally got round to buying this, mainly for the layer on to MML.

    It’s not bad but really who thought just five coaches would be enough for a Railtour? Presents zero challenge really. There’s a certain irony too that the Jubilee on such a light load accelerates better than the hobbled 150, on the climb out of Truro.

    Could someone look at revising the consist size, to at least Load 8. 5 coaches in reality would barely generate enough revenue to cover the costs of operating the train.
