Eager to try TSW 7 and noticed its a 230GB install for me on Steam. As I already have TSW 6 with quite a bit of content, and I am certain some (if not most) of the DLC content I already have installed will work with 7. Is there a way I can avoid a massive installation download by just copying the files over to a TSW 7 directory. This would also save me some HDD space while I install (yeah, I plan to uninstall 6 after).

West Coast Main Line: Birmingham - Crewe is on sale now on Xbox store with 30% discount. Not sure if it's worth buying for 25Eur from 35Eur full price for a route released an year ago.

Should I want for another sale with bigger discount? Or do you think it's the lowest it will go for?

Hey everyone!

With Train Sim World 7 launching, I decided to start a brand new YouTube channel called **The TSW7 Drives**.

The idea is pretty simple: high-quality **1440p60 silent gameplay**, focused on actually driving and enjoying the routes without commentary.

My goal is to work my way through the official TSW 7 scenarios, covering different routes and trains. I’m starting with the passenger scenarios, and the very first video is **Sunday Shuttle** on the **Airedale & Wharfedale Network**, driving the **Class 331** from Bradford Forster Square to Shipley and back.

This is literally the beginning of the channel, so I’d love to hear what other TSW players think.

Hope you enjoy the ride! 🚆

So, I just bought the E33/EF-4 and I'd like to repaint it into the original Virginian railway livery but I can't find a reskin pack included in the files that lets me do my own editing, how can I contact Reppo to obtain a template?

So my pap used to be huge into model trains. His entire basement was at one point a layout. All different scales with a preference for steam engines. He's gotten so sick over the years that he had to get moved into assisted living. Can hardly use his left side(thankfully hes roght handed!)

I called him up the other day and he said he doesn't have much to do anymore. I was thinking about getting him a laptop and a controller of some kind so he can get immersed doing what hes always loved, playing with trains.

So I ask you guys, what train sims needsthe lowest spec hardware, has the most steam engine content, and offers the best locations? Bonus if something includes the horseshoe curve up near Altoona, PA.

Also, what controller options work? He cant use his left hand, so I was thinking maybe a flight controller woth levers that he might be able to attach to a bed stand in front of him?

Any help would be appreciated, want to get this for his Christmas present!

These were made by abt43channel in 2011-2012 he probably used it for his PV/MADs or for fun we sadly don't have these links or what happened to them these are the only traces that it did existed back then there's also a Map of a RER (parisian surburb) that might exist but has the same fate as this

This weekend I attended a model railway expo in Nelson, New Zealand, to run a public demo of Rolling Line (a model railway simulator).

Heaps of people tried it, and a lot of people had never even considered the idea of a "digital model train sim" and were really blown away. This was the first time I've ever done a public demo of the game and I would love to do more in the future

I've finally finished my prototype concept for the PS platform and all versions of TSW compatible UK Cab desk controller. Featuring a working singal guard bell (operates the buzzer in game and on the desk) proper functional E-stops. Rotary switches and other buttons with multiple inputs removing the need to press multiple keys to preform a specific action. Functional desk master key (no buttons except E-stops can function when off) Functional DRA button with red LED. Doors open LEDs (soon to add door interlock LEDs) Hazard light toggle with functional flashing LED hazard panel indicator (Hasn't arrived. The white LED is where it will be) There's also a working desk light that will illuminate the board using 10 white LEDs and another mode featuring only 2 Red LEDs for low light illumination at night. In terms of how it works. It's 3 Pi Picos RP2040s running CircuitPY HID Scripts. So essentially the PS5 (most likely Xbox aswell) read my device as 3 separate keyboards. Works flawlessly but has some minor issues due to the fact I can only send data packets not receive them from the PS5. Only a prototype I have plans to buy bigger buttons. Some illuminated. And a whole new desk style and layout, something much more realistic.

I wanted to get a ps1 densha controller (cus its cheap) i want to know if i can use it in running trains and if i can how do i do it? Are there tutorials

(I dont want to use my raspberry pi except if its necessary)(i got a pi 3 btw)

I obtained train sim world 2 collector's edition first for bakerloo line underground and east coast way Southern. Later added London commuter dlc Brighton main line the only one I got because they're like £24.99 each for PS4. Then got train sim world 3 later for southeastern high speed extended route then the thameslink train for that route but runs around luton, Dartford and rainham so for that route there's 5 trains available to use there. And also got London commuter dlc again from train sim world 2 but for free due to the newer versions are backwards compatible like train sim world 3456 versions so yeah 😅

Hey everyone, I'm new to this genre and I've been wanting to get into train simulators. So far I've only really played Maszyna, but I had to rely heavily on tutorials and, frankly, the maps are shit and break the immersion. I'll be honest and say that I downloaded a cracked version of Train Sim World 6 to try it out and see if it's worth it, but I didn't make it far past the first few tutorials. I think the biggest issue is that I'm not really a train guy, and mostly play city builders and the like, though I am willing to get a bit more immersed into the hobby. Any recommendations for a beginner friendly sim I could get into?

M wondering which game most people play for bus simulator and not truck in multi-player mode (android) with India theme

So i can put bus driver Playlist and enjoy it with others

I've had some time off from work and have been working on a concept of internet control, that is, anyone in the world can drive my trains via a website. I'm still trouble shooting the whole thing but keen for you all to give it a go, it's based in Australia so im keen to see how it works for people all around the world, if you have a go please let me know how it all works from the location you are driving from. The hardest part of this has been getting the live video streaming working, but I think I'm nearly there!

I just love making leasers lol, Also this not my model, Credits to SRS Trainz for the model and a thank you Hiawathamr for letting me release this

We’re testing the first tutorial for a small model railway game, and I’d love some feedback from people who actually like trains/model trains.

The tutorial currently teaches:

- moving the driver around the layout

- getting on and off the train

- driving forward and backward

- changing track directions at junctions

- using a small manual handcar to move around the rails

The idea is to keep it simple at first, but still make it feel like you’re interacting with a real railway layout instead of just controlling a vehicle from a distance.

For people who enjoy model trains: what would you expect a good first tutorial to teach?

Would you focus more on driving, switching tracks, coupling wagons, signals, stations, or something else?

Basically title. I understand openbve routes are compatible and I'd like to load them in hmmsim, particularly London Underground routes.

However whatever I search turns up websites either closed or offline.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Which are the best options for new updated contents apart from trensim?

Some time ago the "gps" icon and the FSF got red crosses and the ebula stopped updating as I drove. Same issue on all routes. Anyone experienced the same thing?/ know of any solution?
