Peak Forest review ~ Train Sim World 3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 май 2023
- The second steam-era route in TSW is 'Peak Forest - Ambergate to Chinley and Buxton'; released in May 2023. To an extent, it's a welcome improvement over (Barely Captures The) Spirit of Steam, but there's still a lot of things I don't like about it.
The railway runs through more mountainous and varied terrain, with much better scenery to boot. You also get one new steam locomotive - the LMS Fowler '4F' class 0-6-0 - but I'm not happy with the spartan timetable and Stanier locomotives reused from the Crewe to Liverpool pack.

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
2:00 honestly just seeing this makes me want to get this dlc it’s cozy looking
I’m also a volunteer at the steeple grange light railway which is the Horton incline
I’ve taken the line from Durango to Silvertown many times it is amazing and a really good time
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
Yea, with the timetable according to the forums, many services that would be run by the locomotives were left out. Local services were also left out due to not having a dmu, but I wouldn't have minded a green 101 even if it's just a repaint and not modified to match the era. Dtg did talk about potentially having the 4f run local services, but only an aspiration. I think they should make like a gameplay enhancement pack with the diesels in tsw to add in a timetable layer into peak forest. Or better even, release a loco dlc (class 104 i think) to fill the timetable. I'm not a fan of steam so haven't gotten this route. The route could be much better.
The Class 104 would be a welcome addition to this route. There's some pictures of those units in Buxton on Flickr. As for a green 101 reskin, that would be fine by me.
Needed DMU in my opinion reason I didn't purchase it diesel/steam route with class 40 ,101 ,45 ,33 ect any of the older diesel units would work
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.
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.
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
DTG Could even add a Railbus to this route since Buxtion-Chinley and Chinley-Millers Dale were original teasting routes for them
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 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
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?
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
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
@@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.
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.
@@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga 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.
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.
Lovely video. Could you please do a review on riviera line in the fifties?many thanks
Although I don't like GWR I would look forward to it
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
There is a D&RG route for train sim
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/
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.
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 .
Free roam is available now dudeeeeeee👌
Still doesnt change since one does need to surgeon in the 4f than a natural inclusion
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.
**Xbox has a sale on and only £14.99 GBP**
Thanks for doing this. It is expensive dlc. That’s why I’m buying fewer dlc from dovetail.
I don't like the problem with the door on the 4f
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
Couldn't watch the video all the way through gave up when not even 10 minutes and we're already three ads in😅
ilike the peak foorit route and is good
