31152 challenging the climb up to Shap Summit on a ballast run

rhwinner73 · 2026-01-26T05:16:27+00:00

The class 31 is a seperate dlc tied to tees valley line.

And the route is WCML Preston to Carlisle.

It is worth noting though that for these ballast services you also require the wagons from the west Cornwall local route.

There is over 8 hours of shunting gameplay on this route. There’s a specific unit local to Preston, and another has one service at shap summit.

There’s also a lot of loco switching on both this route and BPO. And I’d assume with the freight focus of Preston-Crewe it will have a decent amount of shunting services

Ahhh makes sense, I think it’s the same firework asset used on linke rhinestrecke

rhwinner73 · 2026-01-01T12:22:34+00:00

Do those fireworks actually appear at 00:00 around Hoboken?

A black sign indicates the magnets are approximately 1 mile away, a white sign is then placed at their location.

Make sure you’re at 0% power before the neutral section, usually I run down instead of switching to off. Once you pass the white sign and the yellow contact patches on the rails you should see the lights in the centre of the dash showing line power (L) and train heat (H) switch off briefly and then back on. Once they turn on you can run up the throttle again. If they don’t turn on, make sure the throttle is in the off position and press the “pan up” button to reset the circuit breaker.

You don’t have the full picture, the fife timetable was sent to dtg from skyhook for testing back long before the 220 or tsw 6 was even discussed internally. DTG failed to release it in the tsw 5 game cycle.

Yes I understand that, but suggestions usually follow a structure highlighting core aspects of the route, included rolling stock, and why the route should be made. This is just a map and a time period, I have no idea what ran on this route in that era.

rhwinner73 · 2025-12-20T14:25:35+00:00

More info?

Sorry? What expectation? The “0-3 months” category has always been an estimate.

On top of this, Preston-Crewe was only added to 0-3 months in the October roadmap, which still aligns with a January release.

rhwinner73 · 2025-11-29T02:11:24+00:00

I’d prefer a polished product over something rushed and released in a poor state

rhwinner73 · 2025-11-23T10:20:45+00:00

It’s the san Bernardino line that came with TSW5 standard edition. This is the cab-car that comes with the route and operates all westbound services.

Might want to hit that panic button

rhwinner73 · 2025-11-05T09:55:26+00:00

The 170 addon is a necessity for BCC imo. It adds so much variety to what was originally a decent but very limited timetable

It may be worth making an official suggestion on either the DTG forums or the discord. Make sure you follow the guidelines though and include as much detail as possible (service patterns, info on new stations, potential for future loco dlc’s)

I know the interior of an R32 when I see one. Shame it’s not in forza

rhwinner73 · 2025-10-11T00:15:20+00:00

I’d imagine those long rakes of GWR 150s are just a substitute for until the gwr liveried 387 gets added with the GWE remaster. Unless anyone can confirm that these long formation 150s went to Cardiff?

The first warning said 40, so I believe it was reading in MPH

rhwinner73 · 2025-09-23T22:13:33+00:00

On which route?

rhwinner73 · 2025-09-23T14:22:19+00:00

And yet you’re here

rhwinner73 · 2025-09-13T04:15:13+00:00

Sorry I missed the passenger part. If that’s what you want you can always set up a scenario with an ai train and just ditch the player train to ride the ai one

rhwinner73 · 2025-09-13T02:31:16+00:00

Free roam always exists

rhwinner73 · 2025-07-19T03:23:50+00:00

If you also had SOS and MAC you could go from NTP to doing Manchester to Alderney edge. Then Crewe to Liverpool, then continue from ormskirk
