I had train sim not sure of number on PS4 was ok but was GWR routes.
Looks like is again. There no other routes to do around the UK.
like up north or Scotland.
Or do GWR sponser the game
Yeah, there are routes all over the UK now, ECML, WCML, Northern Trans-Pennine, West Somerset, Tees Valley line, East Coast way, Birmingham cross-country, Isle of Wight, London Underground. ScotRail routes Cathcart circle line, Edinburgh Waverley-Glasgow Central.
I love this in-game camera thing, you can stop the game & set up camera angles & shots with all the editing options.
These are the UK routes off the top of my head, I’ve got most of them
West Highland Line would be a good one.
They do the Fort William to Mallaig route past the Glenfinnan Viaduct built by Sir Robert McAlpine nicknamed concrete Bob. They have the Fish van on the back of the train to collect the herring from Mallaig harbour.
They’ve got the TSW Autumn sale on at present, with some heavily discounted routes & diesel/electric locomotive add-ons. I’m like a kid in the candy store lol.

Rode past Glenfinnan at Easter this year, was absolutely rammers. They’d shut the car park, so many tourists. I’ll stop and have a look at it when I go at quieter time of year.
Did spend a good 8 hours in the Marine Bar in Mallaig though, time flew by

Talking of class 37s, in the roof somewhere is my old Hornby Dublo train set from the 1950s. One loco is IIRC a CO CO diesel, what is this? the 37s, the Deltics and several other locomotives look the same to me.

An interesting multi- page, multi- link site describing not just the preserved train but giving the history of the Hastings line and why it needed dedicated rolling stock.
Think the CO CO is the wheel/bogie setup on the locos.. I’m not really well up enough to know the exact setups.
Easiest way I found to tell the difference between 37s and Deltics was the 37s have 3 windscreens and Deltics have 2. Course can tell them apart now just from the sound.

I’ve often confused 37s and 40s (I’m not a rail buff).
Ditto - as I say I’m not an expert, let alone a ‘basher’. 37s were all over Cornwall when I was a yoof, mostly on china clay, and that’s why I remember them so well. Had I seen a Deltic at full chat I would’ve been mighty impressed but they worked a long way away at the time.
The class 45’s or Sulzer Type 4 were stub nosed 37 lookalikes, Co-Co does relate to the two six wheel bogies. .

Of all the various EMU and DEMU designs to date I have always thought these were the most aesthetically pleasing with their rounded cab corners and roof. I remember seeing them occasionally, I believe they were called Queen Marys.

I’ve had to curtail my spending in the TSW Autumn sale 
It’s our three cat’s inoculation jabs & claws trimmed today, that’s a wallet emptier but better they clip their claws than me, I always end up bleeding. 
. I’ve just bought the London Huston-Milton Keynes route & the BR class 390 Pendolino EMU 70% off & 50% 0ff respectively. I want to see the tilting action on the curves in the game. 
Turn the sound up and listen to the Paxman Valentas scream.

Not a glamour puss on the main line but knocking on 70 and still just pottering about getting the job done with only 350 bhp.
