In my opinion they have failed already with the MK2d and Mk2c variants, but others are not so fussy about such things.

I use to drive these locos, so I will be harder to please. AP's sounds are good, but not perfect, especially inside the loc. It will depend which gets a steam release, and which covers the most variations, assuming that the sound is good on both, ie which the freeware scenario producers adopt, it has been sometime since AP released any scenario only packs. The focus now seems to be on higher profit products. I notice Vulcan Productions are also involved in the JT version.

I suspect that the AP version is more likely to have compromises made than the Railright/JT version, judging by some of his recent releases, the standards of which don't seem to be as consistent as they once were. It will be interesting to see and hear the finished results.

From UKTS;

Hi All,

The regressed 1980s BR Blue version of the North Wales Coast Line ( North Wales Coast – BR Blue ), created by Nick Hudson and myself is now available for download from Wotawallysbits ( https://www.wotawallysbits.co.uk/nwc-brblue ).

Nick has regressed all of the track work and infrastructure ( signalling etc. ) and I have regressed the scenery.

As you may have seen, from the route regression update thread, this regressed route started life as a regression of the DTG North Wales Coastal route but quickly became pretty much a full rebuild, nevertheless thanks must go out to the original creator(s) for giving us a base to work from and the impetus to actually get started on a regression of this line, something that Nick and I had been discussing on and off for some time.

The download pack contains a full route manual and description and please do not forget to run the small batch job as per the instructions with the download.
NB. On the host site splash page you will see 2 screenshots, clicking on each will trigger a separate file to download.....you must download and install both files before running the enclosed batch job for the route and all assets to be installed on your PC.

As mentioned in the credits in the manual we have had some patient and thorough QA testers who have helped to identify glitches and bugs that we have missed, and also some scenario writers who have enabled us to provide a number of varied scenarios with the route download.
Nick and I would be grateful for any feedback via this thread, and please do point out any errors or glitches that we may have missed, we will endeavour to fix via a patch where possible.

And finally, we hope that you enjoy driving the route as much as we have enjoyed creating/regressing it.

Andy

The coaches are really MK2a, Mk2b and Mk2b with a MK2c roof masquerading as MK2C. Apart from some early Mk2c seconds, all other Mk2c's had a small sealed toilet window of the same style as the Mk2d's, there were other differences underneath the two marks of coaches as well. It is similar to the MK2d-f pack where there isn't a correct model of the Mk2d. AP seem to be more willing to make compromises recently. the lack of a MK2a in original Scotrail livery is disappointing for me as well. I will probably still buy it, but for me it is not as good as it could be.

Nice pack, but some of the compromises are a little disappointing for me personally.

Somewhere to run those beautiful Caledonian Loks and rolling stock.

WHW V1.2 Luib to Strathyre with Killin and Lochearnhead
A Route for TS2019
by
Stewart Parker and Alan Pendlebury
This second release of our WHW (West Highland Wandering) project includes our previously released Luib to Glenoglehead and Killin Branch section of the route and continues the Callander and Oban (C&O) Main Line down through Glen Ogle and via Balquhidder Junction to Strathyre. It also features the Balquhidder to Lochearnhead section of the Lochearnhead, St Fillans and Comrie Railway Line. We are currently working on continuing the latter railway as far as St Fillans and Dalchonzie, work on that section is already well advanced and we hope to release it soon. Further sections of the C&O Main Line and the Crieff Lines are planned for succesive releases in the future.
The route is basically set in the 1950's - 60's BR period but we have exercised a certain amount of artistic licence by including stations and track that had actually been closed before that date, we feel (hope) this increases the operating interest of the route.
The route is currently available on the route Facebook Page

From Steam Sounds Supreme;
We are delighted to announce that Matrix Trains have come to Steam Sounds Supreme! Our first collaboration with them is the Caledonian 65ft Grampian carriages. Set 2 contains these 12-wheeler coaches in LMS Period 3 livery and BR Crimson & Cream livery. These packs will be the first of many produced by the carriage building experts at Matrix Trains to be sold in our store.

Pack 2 now available https://www.steamsoundssupreme…mpian-carriage-set-2.html £6.99

A pack of 20 Caledonian 65ft Grampian 12-Wheel Carriages for Train Simulator. Pack 2 comes with 10 carriage types in LMS Period 3 livery and the same 10 in BR Crimson and Cream livery. Please read on to learn about all the details about this pack.

• Dia 97 Compartment Brake Third (High and low roof versions)
• Dia 95B Brake Composite (Taunton Brake)
• Dia 94 Composite (High and low roof versions)
• Dia 96 Full Third (High and low roof versions)
• Dia 97A Compartment Brake Third
• Dia 95 Brake Composite (High and low roof versions)
• Rain Effects on All Windows
• Rear Lamps
• Two Passenger Views and a Guards View
• Realistic and Immersive Sounds
• Quick Drive Ready

It is also important that the train is facing in the correct direction when changing power supplies, this was also necessary in real life. Do you hear the alarm when you raise the pantograph? if not there is something wrong. Also are you trying to drive in quick drive or a normal scenario. If you are in quick drive and the AC and DC markers are not installed then it will not work.

Chreistrains hasn't made the Plan E in TS, It is either a repaint of the Dutch classics add-on or the freeware coach available in one of the forums. I can't remember which forum unfortunately. You would probably be better to ask on Treinpunt nl.

V3.0.3

1. Fixed error where neither Standard or Advanced mode could be selected in the Settings \ Mode menu.
2. Option to use a single joystick axis as the throttle and train brake added to the advanced mode.
3. Fixed error of flickering screen reported by some.
4. Found the cause of the black screen showing over TS2019, see the new "When Things Go Wrong.pdf".
5. Things to look for when things go wrong
6. ** Fixed a memory leak that crept in after converting to SharpDX for the overlay.

* As you can see, these graphics cards have been created using "UKTS_38190_Setting_Up_TS2018_with_a_single_nVidia_card" as well as the black screen goes away. I have done some further testing myself and found it to be the antialiasing FXAA setting that is causing the problem. The TS2019 interface (x86) .exe and the TS2019 interface (x64) .exe and turn off the FXAA are now available as part of the "UKTS_38190_Setting_Up_TS2018_with_a_single_nVidia_card".

As usual, all existing users simply extract the files in the download to current folder overwriting all existing files.

Didn't see this as it is in the TSW section of the forum instead of the TS2019 part of the forum. If you have problems please use the correct thread here TS2017 Raildriver and Joystick Interface [discussion]

@trainman1 a spirax valve gives a very slow release of the air in the loco system, making a kind of ticking noise. If the loco is only shut down for a brief time it makes a quick restart possible, but if it is left shut down for a long time it safely drains the air from the system.
