Yep definitely. Not quite an era I was alive in but I found Blackpool Branches very interesting and enjoyable, no doubt this will be just as good!Anyone else counting down the days till Preston-Carlisle release?

Yeah, they are from AP. I suggested WCML over Shap, network routes and using AP sounds to Dovetail last year, so that's another reason why I feel obliged to buy this! Hopefully we'll see more AP Sounds in game after thisThe 87's sounds take me right back. I'm looking forward to it muchly![]()
TSW6? Or a new route (in a new country?) that they’ve kept quiet so far.Anyone any guesses as to what the "very exciting announcement" coming up in a few days is?
I don’t think that (28 mile Manchester Airport route) is the big reveal as it was already announced, they’ve just provided more detail on it. They are doing a season of reveals, with a new one each day Monday-Fri in December. I think the big one is this Friday.Er, overhyped?![]()

This is the clue for the 'big reveal' tomorrow. Any guesses?
Personally, I'm thinking that its Woodhead route in BR blue with that being an 08 and the wires warning sign and OHLE indicating Woodhead. Although the livery colour does look a little more DRS Class 20...
I think that was a screenshot for a teaser for something else that's being announced in the New Year, rather than a hint at the big reveal.![]()

Delay attributor mode! Playable in the future, system simulates for now. Any penalty (deduction in points) only applies if the driver is at fault for the delay rather than network railI think that was a screenshot for a teaser for something else that's being announced in the New Year, rather than a hint at the big reveal.
As someone who enjoys the timetable mode, I've always hoped for "random events" which is something that has been talked about, but would imagine could be very difficult to implement. Stuff like train faults, other trains running late, signalling faults etc. Given that as part of any timetable run, you get scored on timekeeping, I'm not sure how a random event that causes your service a delay could be done.

That’s nice, I do like a 20. I’m not sure which current route it would be best suited for, unless there’s a new one coming for it- Cumbrian Coast perhaps? The 20’s could work with the RHTT pack too.That will be a Class 20/FNA flask pack.

Considering the gradients along the line, it's sometimes a challenging drive in the Scotsman so hopefully Thomas makes it more challenging to tackle.Certainly wasn't on my bingo card. There's something slightly uncanny about seeing a photorealistic Thomas in an equally photorealistic world!
Surprised they're using the West Somerset Railway instead of creating Thomas' branch line—then they could consistently churn out different Sodor lines with new characters as add-ons. Even with a storyline (wonder if the characters are professionally voiced?), trundling along the WSR at 25mph sounds frightfully dull.
Yet another thing that makes me wish I had something capable of running TSW but probably makes my bank balance very grateful. It looks so satisfyingly silly, I love it!![]()
They're having a bloody giraffe!
TBH this is just silly so I am not annoyed - am quite amused. But at the same time... what a let down.

I've just bought it, £5 off in the DTG summer sale (wow! DTG having a sale!) however I didn't expect it to be discounted for a long time. Main reason for holding back is that I was awaiting a PC upgrade and I think this route would have killed my old PC off and GFX card.Preston-Carlisle and the 87 are works of art, much like the Blackpool Branches route. Genuinely worth every penny
That's a proper bonus. I'd love a proper set up like that but I don't have the space (or a PC to do it justice!)I've just bought it, £5 off in the DTG summer sale (wow!

I am certainly impressed with the route, didnt know about Morecambe branch, and an added bonus the tap changer on the class 87 works on my Raildriver console! I read before it would not be supported, but funnily enough whilst configuring another loco in advance controls I saw a pic of the class 87 under class '31/4' config heading, thought it was a bit strange - but calibrated and it worked! it works like a real tap changer so to speak on the throttle lever.
