This is indeed the main issue, will the route run with a realistic amount of ai.

It is set in present day, although most of the route hasn't changed in decades. Norwich is the place that changed mostly in the 80's.

TBH I don't know where they came from, but as said JT used items from Elap, and I would presume that AP either has permission for them or they belong to one of early default routes as well. IIRC some of the early routes were also originally a requirement for Bristex, and IIRC China Clay For Export. But maybe a post on AP's facebook page would help.

Default assets have always been useable. JT did the same with Bristol - Exeter and originally it was one reason why the ELAP was required.

If you mean the BR01 this is will not show in your profile because it was not made by DTG. Only DTG products show in your profile. But it should show in your quick drive selection page.

For me Berkendam. Christrains and Dutch Classics are no problem

If I understand the site Correctly you can order directly from the treasurer, but only order by bank transfer. Unfortunately a bank transfer from the uk costs around 30 euros so not an option for me.

3 new scenarios for the backdated North London Line can be found here http://www.wotawallysbits.co.uk/my-scenarios

no JT product page at the moment

The original stream is still available, but you will need to watch the Brittania stream for almost two hours to see it. Link above. I think this will stay until the next broadcast.
Edit: correction now unavailable

Looks like the stream will be on for a while, they are going to start another scenario. They have discovered a problem with the sounds above 90mph, it will be fixed. Now finished, but the K4 may follow in a few minutes.

A class 91 enhancement pack has been uploaded to ukts here http://members.uktrainsim.com/…nfo.php?form_fileid=35230

The diesel sounds are good, the electric sounds are ok. The line they where they recorded the sounds had no juice. It is definately not a lever forward and go lok.

VR style expert line, not quite. DTG miraculous line definitely, nobody expected them to even try to simulate the lok to the level thay have. The driving trailer not so great, but for most people the lok is the important thing. You may find that the loco is on diesel power when it is pushing the train. To solve this it seems that you should go into the cab before departure and lower the pick up shoes, this should automatically change the lok to electric power.

Today one of the JT Western Main Lines team has confirmed categorically on UKTS that their route has no connection with the DTG one. In his words, two seperate routes, developed by two different publishers

Hope you have fun, this is one DTG lok where you need to read the manual, because they have actually simulated the way the loco works quite well, and you need to know how to drive it when you are on the juice (electricity) or you will have many Zwangbremsen.

Works nicely on diesel and electric, and like the real thing you can change between the two whilst you are moving. Sounds better than usual from DTG. Not perfect, but so far a good effort for dtg. Now we wait for many re-skins for the class 73 and no doubt AP will do their magic as well

The unique Class 73 remains the only electro-diesel locomotive to be seen on the UK’s rail network, and now comes to Train Simulator in InterCity Gatwick Express livery, complete with the Class 488 and Class 489 to recreate authentic Gatwick Express services.

The Class 73 was designed to operate on both 650/750V DC third rail and diesel power, following British Railways’ 1955 modernisation plan and an increase in electrification in the Southern Region. The Class 73 was built in two stages - the first six locomotives were built by BR in 1962 at Eastleigh Works (initially classified as Class 72) with the remaining 42 in the Class built by English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry between 1965 and 1967.

Initially designed for mixed traffic use, the Class 73 had limited power output of 600hp when operating under diesel traction mode; when operating on third rail, the power output was considerably higher at 1,600hp, meaning the Class spent most of its time in Southern England. Arguably one of the most famous uses was hauling the Gatwick Express services between London Victoria and Gatwick from the mid-1980s until 2005, although many Class 73s could be seen hauling other passenger, freight, parcels and boat trains, and also as ‘Thunderbird’ rescue locomotives.

To date, all but 10 of the Class remain, some in mainline service with others preserved, and current owners include GB Railfreight, Network Rail, South West Trains and Eurostar.

The Class 488 started their lives as standard BR Mk2f passenger coaches. However, in the mid-1980s, BR’s search for new Gatwick Express stock to replace the ageing Class 423 ‘4-VEP’ saw a number of Mk2f coaches being converted into sets for the service.

Two sub-sets of Class 488 were produced, the 488/2 was rebuilt as two-car units for first class accommodation and the 488/3 was a set of three coaches for standard class only, both sub-classes with the addition of air conditioning and Southern Region multiple unit control jumpers.

Following privatisation, the Class 488s were only used on Gatwick Express services, sandwiched between a Class 73 and Class 489. From 2000, Class 488 services were gradually replaced by new Class 460 ‘Juniper’ EMUs, although some units still remain in service with operators such as Network Rail, Northern Ireland Railways and the Ministry of Defence.

As BR continued its upgrade to Gatwick Express services, a number of DMBSO coaches from Class 414 2HAP EMUs were converted into DMLV coaches specifically for airport trains. Coupled with Class 488 and Class 73 stock, the Class 489 was a driving motor coach with capacity to transport luggage, with a top speed of 90mph (145 km/h).

As with the Class 488, withdrawals of the Class 489 began in the early 2000s, with all completely removed from Gatwick Express services by 2005. Half of the Class survived into preservation, with three units still being used by Network Rail for de-icing maintenance trains.

The BR Class 73 for Train Simulator is available in InterCity ‘Gatwick Express’ livery and includes Class 488/2 Mk2e TFO, Mk2e TFOH, Class 488/3 Mk2e TSO and Mk2e TSOH passenger coaches in InterCity ‘Gatwick Express’ livery, plus Class 489 GLV driveable cab car in InterCity ‘Gatwick Express’ livery, as operating on the London-Brighton route in the early 2000s. The Class 73 features a dual power-control unit to allow the locomotive to run under diesel and third rail power, Driver Safety Device (DSD), Driver Reminder Appliance (DRA), Electro-Pneumatic brake, plus accurate and authentic sounds recorded from 73210, access kindly provided by the Mid-Norfolk Railway.

The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the BR Class 73 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the London-Brighton route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).

According to the BBC news, the problems at Bombardier are caused by their Aerospace division, not the rail division. Cost overuns on their new C series jet have drained the money out of the company, but this now affects all parts of the company.

The creator of the JT route has posted on UKTS that the route is a completely new build and is in fact one long route. The terminology used is because two sections of the route used have already been modelled in their own right, but these older routes are not used in the new route at all. It is no colloboration.
