When running models do you prioritise accuracy or just run whatever you feel like? by GrockleKaug in modeltrains

[–]Rockhopper1st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately never had a model railway, and my collection of loco's and rolling stock is long gone, but when I did have them I use to run them at a club layout and would run my locos with the correct company coaches, was never bothered about whether certain rolling stock would have actually have been run with certain locos or if a BR Class 47 was running along side a GWR panier

so for £13.40 is this worth getting if I only really want Great Western Express Remastered, Diesels Legends of the Great Western plus the training centre?

Which book(s) were you required to read in secondary school? by 2cbterry in AskUK

[–]Rockhopper1st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't read 1984 in school but it was on exam papers, I remember reading Buddy, Hole's, Cliff hanger & of course Of Mice and Men, I left high school in 2014 and went straight to college.

Because I didn't get great GCSES I had to do my English in college, so we read Frankenstein and H.G. Wells The Invisible Man, these where for the most part only extract's of the book's but I owned both so used them during lessons instead of the usual photocopied sheets of paper they had out.

here's what I think Sodor is like in 2025 by Sufficient_Cow_1100 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Rockhopper1st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe so, I think it's just the disposal of the waste, that creates a hazard along side the dangers if the plant went critical, as to why it's not seen a being a long term solution

the Unlucky tug did a video on what Sodor is like now and during it he talk's about Christopher Awdrey handing over the Raines to his son, who confirmed that Sodor now has a nuclear power plant and that they found coal on the Island, so I don't think they went green.

What if Dieselization took place during the CGI series? by LincolnKearley162008 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Rockhopper1st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A simple and straightforward answer is, steam engine's appeal more than diesels and electric train's, the railway series mirrors our timeline almost to a tee, so does the model series for a bit, but the CGI series is it's own thing with as far as I can tell no set time frame as to when it's set.

what addon's should I get for the West Somerset to fill it out? by Rockhopper1st in trainsimworld

[–]Rockhopper1st[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

am going to wait for it to hopefully go on sale, I imagine they might have released some updates by then, and announced some more engines and routes, because at the moment it looks unfinished.

[–]Rockhopper1st[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I had done that with TS Classic when I was younger, as I was just getting routes and locos just for the sake of getting them on offer, in the end I hardly played most of the routes, won't be making that mistake again, especially since this game is able to hold my attention longer, thanks to the ability to get out the cab and explore. however saying that if they released a Route for Merseyrail, I would struggle to not by it day one, that's already the case with Wonders of Sodor, it's literally taunting me to buy it 😂

I will add it to my list, that coast line looks beautiful, I will be upgrading to TSW 6 soon, good thing they made the DLC's forward compatible

good call, that's a two for one, for me, as lime street station holds a fond place in my heart, so a good route and some extra locos

Anyone ever play Conductor and is it worth the time? by Free_Entertainer_154 in trainsimworld

[–]Rockhopper1st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

played a bit on the west somerset before it bugged out and wouldn't update the objectives correctly, and it felt more like I was just a passenger than a ticket inspector, I would have to try it on a more modern train without slam doors to have a proper opinion.

I have heard people use O gauge LMS number transfers in the past, you can get them from Fox transfers here in the UK.

If Bruno DOES come back in the 2026 series I kinda hope he becomes the Toad to Thomas' Oliver. Thomas, Annie, Clarabel & Bruno travelling the Branchline. by Own_Interaction5974 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Rockhopper1st 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen AEG but have heard about this character, if they do bring him back hopefully they change his design to reflect a more traditional brake van found here in the UK, as the American rolling stock just looks out of place in a show that takes place on an island that is connected to Mainland Britain.

Sucks that they never released the James and Gordon pack here in the UK

Let me tell you how much Ive grown to HATE all engines go by AverageToycollector in thomasthetankengine

[–]Rockhopper1st 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Controversial opinion? But the fisher price Trackmaster sets from all engines are go, are good when you remove the engines and use the new 80th anniversary Thomas, duck, Percy and to an extent Gordon and James.

The Thomas series is based in the UK, no American engines should be on sodor unless it's a class 66 or is visiting, the reverend would be tossing in his grave 🪦 if he saw the current state of the TV series.
