But is that the only one that fits the pattern??

Fits a few clues, but then a lot it does not fit either, suppose we will have to wait and see

Due to some last minute glitches in the testing cave, we won't be able to do a release for today. We're really sorry, we hope that by releasing 2 things tomorrow and having released 2 things on Day 3 that somehow can make up for it.

Today's clue is:

When is 4 not a 4?

That last clue possibly leads us back to 37558 aka 37424 .... when 4 is not a 4 ?
Numbered as a 37/5 even though it is a 37/4 .

Try going into the Scenario using 'Editor' and then "add fuel" to the Consist that is out of fuel (as a guess I'd say the Class 105).
I know that this often happens when you swap in a S9BL Class 158 when using RWTools.


Hi. Thanks for the advice. I have never used the in game editor ! It scares me ! How EXACTLY do I "Add fuel" please ?

Thanks

Derek
Click on the "Build" tab on the 'first' TS2017 start up screen, now click on the "Scenario" tab on the next screen and "select" the Route and Scenario that is giving you a problem. Now click on the "Edit" tab and the Scenario will load in "Editor" mode. When the Scenario has loaded, you need to "fly" around the Scenario (by hold down the right Mouse button and moving around the mouse) and then 'double' LMB click on a Loco (try the Class 105 first :wink: ) and a 'fly out' will appear upper right hand corner, click on it, 'pin' it and then you can change the fuel level to your desired amount by moving the slider, if it is showing empty. If not the correct one, keep moving around the Scenario until you find another one, check the fuel level again, keep checking until you find the one(s) with an empty fuel tank and then fill it.

The same goes for Steam Loco's, only you click on the Tender to alter the levels of Coal and Water.

Hope that helps
Rob.

Day 11 is here, and with it comes more goodies. Tonight we have a pair of reskins for the Oovee Class 156 and you'll need the Armstrong Powerhouse soundpack for these.

They represent Regional Railways and First North Westerm Western green stripe liveries.

As tonight is the last clue, here is a full recap of every clue so far including the final clue for tonight.

The full list of clues!

#1 - 1 of 3 but also 1 of 1

#2 - XH558

#3 - Kevin Bacon

#4 - Myopia

#5 - A55

#6 - First of the Last

#7 - Wheels Equals Cylinders

#8 - When is a 4 not a 4?

#9 - Roger Whittaker

And.....

#10 - "......Once I caught a fish alive..."

I think I've worked it out ....


It was colonel mustard in the study with the lead pipe :lol:


Seriously though I'm stumped , I Still think it could be possibly 37 shaped , though for some reason all the clues together make me think it might be Steam orientated (As in Coal fired not online).

Well that's is folks, the cat is out of the bag - did you guess it? Class 40 D345 in green with half yellow panel, and a lot of custom objects to finish the job.

To celebrate I gave myself a 'virtual' full frame DSLR to play with, here is a screenshot taken that shares the exact resolution as a Canon 5D MkIV (30MP!)
