A New Route coming from RSC?

You guys got Woodhead after we got this.

Didn't you get Woodhead as well Bill?
And I got NEC but gave Donner a miss after the bad publicity.

// BTW NEC is probably the only route that doesn't work well for me. ( locks up after 15 - 20 minutes or so. )

I'm hoping it'll be a London suburban route, although it's highly unlikely. Though I doubt we'll know any real information for quite a while.

Yeah.. I'm an oddball American who thrives on British railroading. I can't get enough.

Oh btw.. As far as the NEC goes.. It's not that bad of a route and only when I'm in one of my `moods' I might throw a random comment out there about it but I still regularly drive it, I still regularly redo scenery on it.. It passes my times and that's all I ask for when I'm in a reasonable state of mind.

Wherever it is it should be good for 50 - 60 pages of anticipation, speculation, conjecture and general inconveniencing of billions of electrons.

The thread just coming up to 2 hours old and already onto page 2

They are really pushing the DLC, that's for certain. Barely time to digest one new route before another is on us.

Basically concur with previous sentiments - to be of any use to me personally, it's 1. Not going to need a Cray or other super-computer to run it, 2. RSC give whoever's building it for them enough time to do a proper job.

Personally I'm hoping it's the Dubrovnik line from the old Yugoslavian narrow gauge. In any event we are due another European route of some description after a glut of US and UK content.

You and me both! I find that except for helping to test a couple of US scenarios lately, I've been all UK all the time! WCML and Woodhead just sing a siren song to me, and when I want a break from them, China Clay is sitting there waiting. I've got to get back to some of the US stuff I've bought (tons of in the last sale)! And the HSC is pretty much magic too! So many routes, so little time!

[jimmyshand]

I think they're going to build a route based on what they know sells. UK routes will always get a massive amount of sales because of the sims roots in this country and the generations of rail nuts who live here. US will also sell reasonably well I guess if for no other reason than massive population size. RSC need to keep the big money rolling in so they'd be mad to go for something niche within the niche like a Khazakstan narrow gauge mining route! I can see them going for another scorcher that is bound to appeal to the masses. I was thinking earlier about how there is a gaping hole in RW coverage of the midlands/north west of England. I'm thinking Liverpool, Birmingham, Crewe? All railway dynamite but with no coverage in the sim. North Wales also needs coverage and finally there is always Oovees East Coast mainline out of Kings Cross venture. That was announced a year ago then went rapidly off the radar and underground?

[USRailFan]

This route is further north than WCML... AND it is 110 years this year... AND it sees some of the heaviest trains in all Europe...


(Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?)

[johnnywilliam]

I'd be happy with something that works property out the box.

Maybe something without random buffers!

I guess the carrott will be dangled left right and centre until they tell us!

Problem is i love this simulator even with it's problems. I shall resign myself to handing over the green - but only with UK Routes from now on!

News on the Rail-sim.de site is working on that route. He also made the IORE locomotives that run on the line. I rode the line one and a half years ago and did some spotting in Abisko and Kiruna. Watching the 8600 ton trains come by at 70 km/h is pretty amazing.

Don't it just make you wonder why these titbits get leaked, surely the forums are busy enough already. anyway as private Jones said " dont panic Mr. Mainwaring ".

North Wales also needs coverage

I'm currently building Chester/Crewe to Holyhead (and the Llandudno+Conwy Valley Line branches).

I always thought jones was a Lance corporal.

But, young Jimmy, if Railworks don't expand their customer base with other countries offerings, they'll never get anywhere, surely, as a business, they must EXPAND, EXPAND, EXPAND. And, even though I'm British I would love the chance to enjoy playing on a route from Japan, India, Australia, etc, and it would be an excellent way to get more consumers on board the Railworks train ( sorry for the pun ), and I'm sure lots of other Brits may think the same.

I would agree that The Midlands is under represented, but, what lines could you do that would be interesting enough, it'd have to be an electric layout so we can utilise the DLC that we have already, plus future models, all those plastic EMU's need to be put somewhere, however, the word on the street is that this new route is north of Woodhead, so, that rules out anywhere in the Midlands, so, I think someone is already doing Liverpool - Euston, and the North East is being reflected with Darren's new route, Micks' Sunderland - Middlesbrough and the Just Trains offering of Bishop Auckland to Darlington, so, I would be quite interested to see what the location will be.

There, just my 10 pence worth of anticipation, speculation, conjecture, pure guesswork and waffle.......

Cheerz. Transport Steve.

And I'm making the North Wales Fictional Lines. The thread is in the screenshots forum.
