Presumably will come next year from previous comments

Another update to North Lincolnshire lines, now version 10 D, available on the home site;
http://www.lincs-train-sim.co.uk/
or here
http://www.wotawallysbits.co.uk/ where an additional 4 scenarios are also available

I think this thread is a good idea, I had posted on UKTS that we are missing a German equivalent of WLOS, Weardale etc. I think these routes have been bigger sellers than expected. Big enough that DTG might be interested if some good suggestions were available, and certainly enough that they were prepared to backdate the Riviera as well. Of course any new route might not be perfect, but maybe better than no route, and a basis for improvement.

Quick blast from the 70's

So far sweet fx works well with me, just a small fps drop that I can live with. The black loading screen is a known issue, it seems to affect mostly those who only have the free update, but some who paid for the full 2016 also have it. DTG are apparently working on a resolution.

More pics of the Green BR140's and wagons here. Nice https://www.facebook.com/media…51.153102604776126&type=3

Now updated, re-download from your account.

A nice route with a few errors, but it captures the feel of the era nicely. The Grange is new, the other loks have had some attention from Steam Sound Supreme and Victory Works, and it shows. The Collett coaches are new and a different type from Matrix Trains version IIRC. The parcels vans are also new and so are some of the goods wagons. No doubt plenty of diesel and steam scenarios will appear eventually, but I suspect first people are soaking up the atmosphere before thay start creating.

Recording the Teddy Bear. Last part is very nice https://www.facebook.com/armst…/videos/1129694620392009/

The search function is a little strange, if you enter BR155, nothing, enter just 155 and it gives you the Lok.

If you want the extra American routes maybe, otherwise you can buy the normal version. Greeman Gaming has the normal TS2016 and if you have the discount code it is much cheaper.

A nice add-on, with some very advanced options. Slight bug with the sounds at the moment, but a fix is all ready to include with an update for any other bugs that may appear. The advanced fireman appears to be much better than the TS default one, and the hint advisor pre-empts the DTG one and is useful for those not so familiar with driving a steam locomotive, by giving hints as to what you should do. But if you just want a simple easy drive, you can also change over to simple mode.

Fastline Simulation, known for their very comprehensive British wagon packs will now start to sell add-ons on Steam via the Market Place. Details here http://www.fastline-simulation…xpansions-for-marketplace

From the website:

Amongst others, in this add on the more modern series of the EMU's with the intercity exterior and interior are included. Moreover, for Dutch Classics 8 the so called Benelux-EMU's are included.
The Mat'54 EMU's were in service on long distance domestic connections in The Netherlands, for example between The Hague and Rotterdam and Groningen/Leeuwarden in the far north of the country. The Dutch Railways had the habit to combine and split parts of the train service consists and also combined EMU's from and to several destinations to consists of 14 carriages. The EMU's were well-known for their comfort and they were a very relaxing way to travel through The Netherlands by train. The EMU's were built in a number of series and could be seen in a number of liveries.
The Mat 1957 EMU´s have been in service on the important Benelux connection between Amsterdam and Brussels for many years.
The EMU´s in this add on are the later series, of which also the Intercity series have been built. Quickdrive consists, standard scenario's (for Ruhr-Sieg route), simple and expertmode operation and a keyboard template for the operation of the trains are also included in Dutch Classics 8. An installer provides you with an easy installation procedure.

On Facebook AP have anounced that they have recorded the sounds for the CLass 25 and 14 for soundpacks which will come next year. I would presume quite early next year. https://www.facebook.com/armstrongpowerhouse

This will be an interesting add-on, as well as DTG, several third parties are involved in this, namely Steam Sounds Supreme, Victory Works, and Meshtools that we know off. I have a suspicion that DT may also be involved, but could just be duplication of some of their models.
