Another good & honest review Richard especially your summing up at the end. Watched the Live stream last night & thought the night lighting along with the snow did look good. I'm still on the fence with this one as like you say could have done with a few more weeks in development to polish it off. Comparing it to the Goblin route its night & day in comparison with regards to detailing & immersion.
40 years ago the passenger service on this section only ran from Cowdenbeath to Waverly. Most of the traffic on this part of the line was coal from the Fife collieries to the coal power stations that lined the Forth to power Edinburgh and Glasgow but very little evidence of that now exists. Passenger trains would arrive into Cowdenbeath platform 2 and passengers would disembark. The train would then reverse a short distance past the set of points that are still there and in game (21:40) before returning to the other platform so that passengers heading to Edinburgh could board. The sidings about a mile before Queen Margaret are all that remains of a much larger coal wagon marshalling yard that used to be on that site.
When I was a young child in the early 80s, we lived on Duddingston Drive in Kirkcaldy which was the nearest street to the railway and the river Ore. This was obviously a good few years before the bypass opened and the Strathore Road was the nearest road to the north. My bedroom window faced northwards towards the railway and I can remember going to sleep to the sound of shunting trains at the sidings near Thirnton. I'm not sure if the Rothes colliery was still operational at this point but there was definitely a rail freight operation of some sort.
Thanks for the review. Your idea about having route learning scenarios is something I've been thinking about; something that stops me trying routes is that I don't like using the HUD, almost as much as I don't like not knowing where I am or where I'm going. I remember a radio interview with a train driver who said words to the effect that you are not just driving the train, but you drive the route too.
If you'd like to try and learn this route I have a list of power-off and braking points that I've been figuring out, however this route definitely needs to be driven well and is very unforgiving of even the slight miss-timing; so it cannot be driven entirely by numbers. This must be my favourite TSW route to date, even with its flaws.
For the fog at the Bridge it can be quite foggy at times. Often the fog sits on the river and you are actually above it in clear blue skies with just white below. It also often is how you saw it where you go into the tunnel and its clear, dense fog when you leave the fog and clear again just past Dalmeny.
15:30 how is this missed😂
15:32 what the- 😂😂😂
Wincing at the onboard pronunciation of Cardenden. Should be pronounced like two separate words; Carden Den
Hi Richard, will you be working anything on Wednesday the 3rd of April as I’m coming down for the day
How do you drive a console Class 171, start uphill and not roll backwards?
I've just found a frankly rubbish bug on the route, you get on the train, set your safety systems and then turn on the master key, nothing else, when you then open passenger doors the reverser automatically goes from off to forwards.
Trespassers on the line !! Definitely a bug 🤦♂️
Just watching it now, the trombone moment at Lochgelly is the sort of stuff that should never get through testing frankly, I've been a gamer since the 80s really and this modern trend of day 1 updates and having us the customer do their testing for them is just not on really is it, its good that we can report bugs and get updates obviously but we are not paid as testers.
Train sim world always feels like its half finished off and not quite as good as it should be. But it does do the job for most casual simmers without spending a fortune on add ons like train sim classic.
hate the way the announcement says cardenden it’s car-din-den, also can see my house in this video
The most insulting thing they forgot south gyle station
Cheeky rollback and no tea & biscuits with the manager? 😅
Haymarket station.. its too white... the flooring and walls are a darker shade of grey. and the construction cranes nearby are in the right place but are the wrong type of crane... they are luffing boom cranes and not the saddle boom cranes used in game 🙄
