This is a great review, very insightful and useful. I've been considering getting this but had nothing really to go on, these videos are excellent for that.
Your videos really give me a thorough view on most TSW routes. Just wanted to get your opinion, but do you think the updated timetable and some bug fixes to NY - Trenton could possibly be the savior of the route?
The updates still don't change the fact that the route was initially released in an awful state, and Dovetail should be ashamed of themselves for that fiasco. The new timetable should be a welcome improvement, but what they should be doing is adding more NJT motive power (especially the Arrow 3 along with the Princeton Branch).
Hey Tauranga, nice( and honest of course) review once again. Thank you 😊. I have one question. Do you have a favourite route ? And if so, which one? Mine is Tharandter Rampe
It's on UKTS, and it looks like the original IOW route from Steam is the only payware DLC you'll need. But there are some additional asset packs that are also on UKTS. www.uktrainsim.com/filelib-info.php?form_fileid=32138
Both downloaded from UKTrainSim; the route was called 'IOW Network V7', I think. Although UKTS is now gone, the route has been archived: archive.org/download/ukts-archive-files-32001-33000 (file id is 32138)
@ThatTrainspotterFromTauranga Am I the only one or this line has literally NO and I mean NO AWS/DSD triggers AT ALL?. I mean don't get me wrong I genuinely LOVE this route and driving the Class 484 but there's no AWS/DSD triggers on the tracks let alone in the entire line... Why is that?.
Wait there is, I've seen a real life cab view of the Class 484 Island Line here on CZcams and there is. I'll paste the link to the CZcams video below from where I've seen it. It's in the 18:01 timestamp czcams.com/video/p6ZzkgDvYUc/video.htmlsi=vz17dxHWw1QSFtfd But I could be wrong though.
The real route in modern day is that short. There's nothing to add. It had much more trackage in an older time period but all of that no longer exists in modern day.

The time when rivet did something right for the community
Great update to your original review; convinced me to get this addon!
If the steam railway was there it would be worth the £15
You can change the destination but it’s on the buttons by the phone.
Great video as always however.
This review came at the right time I was thinking of getting it after this and now it is on sale 👍
cheers

You can change the destination by pressing the up or down arrows on the comm pad. Strange but that’s how to do it.
Hey Tauranga, nice( and honest of course) review once again. Thank you 😊. I have one question. Do you have a favourite route ? And if so, which one? Mine is Tharandter Rampe
I haven't really got a favourite. But my least favourite is either the Long Island Railroad or München to Augsburg.
Ah alright then. Can’t wait for the HMA review 😃
Where did you get the IOW steam era route? And what DLC'S do i need?
It's on UKTS, and it looks like the original IOW route from Steam is the only payware DLC you'll need. But there are some additional asset packs that are also on UKTS.

5:01 where did you get that route and LSWR 02 from?
Both downloaded from UKTrainSim; the route was called 'IOW Network V7', I think. Although UKTS is now gone, the route has been archived:
archive.org/download/ukts-archive-files-32001-33000
(file id is 32138)
16:20 it actually can be, idk if they updated it or something
The destination display does change though.

It's because there are no AWS magnets anywhere on this line.

hey just wanted to know if your planning on reviewing the glossop line ive already seen something about manchester something being to dark
15:40 looks like a shot straight from Thomas (Real Thomas)
I think you find that you can change the destination display
On the class 484 u can change the destination
They need to extend the line just a little bit it's a very nice route but short
This is how it is in real life. They can't extend past Shanklin because the land immediately south of the station was completely redeveloped.
The real route in modern day is that short. There's nothing to add. It had much more trackage in an older time period but all of that no longer exists in modern day.
Wow really thank you
They could have the steam railway probably as a £10 extra add on from smallbrook junction and for at least 1 or 2 new locomotives
The doors do take that long to open
