The route could definitely do with more in scenario planner only one platform for departing and arriving passenger trains, Ambergate and Chinley could have two trains going between them if not more with trains from Buxton and the single 8F with 16 loaded hoppers is a Moot service (in scenario planner) to use as it can't go on any route
I picked this one up. Honestly it’s the only route out of the 25 I have now that had a scenario where you didn’t just pick/set cars along the main once, but eight separate times as well as a little yard switching along the way. That showed me the person who made that scenario knows how road local switchers do service more than one industry at a time, and whoever made it needs to go back and do that to every.single.US route. And add a scenario/timetable extension pack. This did a better job than SOS by far, I do wish they’d add a steam loco dlc to layer in. Overall like the route so far only thing missing is layering in some diesel or cab car commuters
I bought this route because I already knew Spirit of Steam wasn't much good but I still fancied adding some steam power to my collection. I personally think its criminal for them to leave SoS as definitively worse with the same two engines as this one, only this one has the 4f too. I will likely never own SoS for this reason. I honestly really enjoy Peak Forest. I agree the timetable is sparse but thats my only real complaint; (basically all TSW add-ons are overpriced. This is no exception). I have a lot of fun with the steam trains and they are an interesting challenge compared to everything else (even if they are slightly broken. I got the 8F up to 341kph on Cajon Pass Downhill). The route itself is also a nice change of pace, being quiet and peacefully in the countryside, as opposed to the cross city routes or purely functional modern railways we often get. Its a small detail but I like the retro touches too like the classic cars on the roads. Could it have been better? Absolutely. But I'm still glad I picked this one up.
Nice camera angles. It is the real time table from the period. There are no operating 4F locomotives. There's a couple that are not too far off restoration but they're not there yet.
But should because the 4f was prevelent on basicly the full LMS region , especially for the industrial sidings in liverpool and along the WCML and stopping services
@@True_NOONyou’d think they would’ve added it to SOS, just to have a shunter (switcher) for all the yards in SOS, but this is TSW we’re talking about, hyped routes 90% of the time looking completely abandoned.
On the subject of DTG doing primarily British BR routes. British BR routes are what sells simple as that. On the subject of buying this route. Scenery wise it’s looks interesting but it’s a no purchase from me until a BR Green Diesel pack add on is released for it if for no other reason that you can better see the scenery from the drivers seat rather than having to drive from the outside view when driving a steam engine. The option of both steam and diesel is essential for this route imho.
Even though I don’t really like Hauptstrecke München-Augsburg for its linearity, I will still buy the BR 420, since I live in Munich and think it would make the route more interesting, like the 313 made ECW more interesting. Will you buy it?
US steam route suggestions Cass railroad - shays as the locomotives White pass & Yukon Alaska railway The older alcos And there steam loco I think is either 17 or 19, Or a steam pack with UP 844, SP 4449, NW 611, atsf 3751
I forgot about the Class 45, but now that I think about it, considering that we already have a 45 model in TSW (part of that Manchester to Leeds route), DTG should've backdated it to her BR green condition and bundled it with this route.
If you're looking for a good American route that isn't narrow gauge Then the Norfolk and Western railway is an amazing call hauling line that At 1 point head electrics. And some Large steam engines.
I feel what they should have added was a jinty tank engine I mean … we’re lacking a small tank engine . We have express engine , goods engine , small tender engine . We’re lacking a tiny tank engine 0-6-0 of the same company what is the rest . All from the LMS railway that’s what we needed . I mean think on it we don’t need the jubilee or 8F we needed maybe a 5mt tender engine for passengers and a jinty for the shunting Then we still would have 3 engines in the game . AND all new ones at that . Imagine if this is what we got for engine roster Fowler 4F Jinty 3F 5MT tender engine All 3 new engines together . And it would have meant we could have used the Fowler for other things like the occasional goods perhaps down the line This is what we should have got . And all together for tsw3 it would have given us 5 LMS routed engines all together . 3 big and bulky with 2 small and adorable . And by the time tsw4 came along with Scotsman it would have given us 6 engines . But we didn’t get this . We just got the repeat of the 2 engines of last time . Oh well . I can dream
There is a Durango&Silverton route for TSC but it's very, very old, payware distributed through some old website, slightly lacking in detail and the included loco has no cab view. The money goes to the real route's preservation though, as far as I know.
For 20 its not bad, but as always , why price it reasonable when the rich will buy it first minute and everyone else at sales for a normal price Also i got BTB done at an half hour going up a steady 20 on average
I'm still on tsw2 and I use the steam engines the most. But I'm considering getting ts3 mainly just for this. But I'm still considering. Or depending if tsw 4 is good, and this route is compatable with it. I might just do that
I'm got TSW2 with Spirit and it was alright but I think TSW4 + Spirit of Steam for free and then Peak Forest and West Cornwall Steam Railtour all for 70 quid isn't half bad even though it's still ridiculously expensive.
Honestly, I was and wasn't impressed with the route. I was disappointed with the lack of rolling stock and even the lack of other engines. The quarries are nice, but the addition of the Fowler 4F and the ICI Hopper aren't worth it. They just copied assets from Spirit of Steam. If this had been added into the Spirit of Steam route with the Fowler 4F, ICI hopper and a few new wagons/Locos: Cattle Wagon Tank Wagon Bogie Bolster flat LMS Iron Ore Hopper various 1-9 plank wagons LMS Jinty LNWR 380 Super D LMS Dock Tank And if we were to add in other main line engines for fast trains, I'd prefer a Princess Royal, Duchess or even a Royal Scot. Hell, give us a Black five if you wanna be absolutely cheap. All in all, I wanted to see the line expanded to Liverpool Lime Street, where the line connected. Also, some 4-6-0s did pull four coach trains. Mostly it'd be engines like the Claughtons or Black Fives, not Jubilees. As for the Narrow Gauge at Miller's Dale. that served the deepest part of Miller's Dale quarry and the narrow gauge railway brought the stone down to interchange with the standard gauge railway. Also, here's a link to the D&S for TSC-www.drhs315.org/ds-train-sim/
Or they could have used the Class 40's and did the same with The Class 31's by reverting to their original Green livery Same with The Metro Cammell Class 101's. Just a thought.
2:00 honestly just seeing this makes me want to get this dlc it’s cozy looking

I’ve taken the line from Durango to Silvertown many times it is amazing and a really good time
I’m also a volunteer at the steeple grange light railway which is the Horton incline

True all the 4Fs are getting fixed up and restored steam trains take a long time to restore diesels you can fix as there's plenty of parts .
Is the 0-6-0 layered into spirit of steam? Need to know asap before buying it
No, Since PF takes place in 1963
Meanline SOS Takes place 5 years prior to PF
But should because the 4f was prevelent on basicly the full LMS region , especially for the industrial sidings in liverpool and along the WCML and stopping services

DTG Could even add a Railbus to this route since Buxtion-Chinley and Chinley-Millers Dale were original teasting routes for them

Could you ever do a video where you explain steam train Addons that you think could work in TSW and why you think they would
One of my uncles used to live in Buxton. Sadly he's passed now. Can someone local tell me if the miniature Railway is still in the park?
Hello, just saw your comment today. I visited Buxton back in October last year and yes, the train is still operational in the park.
Even though I don’t really like Hauptstrecke München-Augsburg for its linearity, I will still buy the BR 420, since I live in Munich and think it would make the route more interesting, like the 313 made ECW more interesting. Will you buy it?
Lovely video. Could you please do a review on riviera line in the fifties?many thanks
US steam route suggestions
Cass railroad - shays as the locomotives
White pass & Yukon Alaska railway
The older alcos
And there steam loco I think is either 17 or 19,
Or a steam pack with UP 844, SP 4449, NW 611, atsf 3751
Not adding a green Class 45 is just insane, they ran main expresses between Chinley and Ambergate.
I forgot about the Class 45, but now that I think about it, considering that we already have a 45 model in TSW (part of that Manchester to Leeds route), DTG should've backdated it to her BR green condition and bundled it with this route.
@@DC4260Productions that's what I was angling at, and the Transpennine Class 45 Peak is one of the better bits of rolling stock in the game.

I would love to see the 611 class J in this game
@@kingneptune4200me too, daylight, and Santafe would be cool in 4, and more realistically, maybe a logging route with Shay and climax
There is a D&RG route for train sim

Still doesnt change since one does need to surgeon in the 4f than a natural inclusion

I don't like the problem with the door on the 4f
Thanks for doing this. It is expensive dlc. That’s why I’m buying fewer dlc from dovetail.
Or they could have used the Class 40's and did the same with The Class 31's by reverting to their original Green livery Same with The Metro Cammell Class 101's. Just a thought.
Yeah your right just supply the reskins with unique destination displays for the 101
ilike the peak foorit route and is good
