      Pfft, may have a Turbo but it's still front wheel drive and as such, can't be classed as a REAL Escort.

      Ah, but a Cosworth drives the rear wheels (as well as the front...) so that counts :)

      I'd have a Mk1 RS1600 over a Cosworth any day

      im very tempted to get the portsmouth line but only if the trains run on simple controls

       

    3. Coldgunner

      Coldgunner

      I got portsmouth already. I think you can play on simplified controls. I personally recommend learning the advanced controls, adds a whole new depth to the game. Falmouth is also a nice branch to have.

    4. Boris

      Boris

      I reccomend the West Coast Main Line, after the update its superb.

  19. tempted to buy lima locos but worried about the running of the motors - dreaded pancake-

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      They can (in most cases) be made to run pretty good, make sure there are no pips on the gear train, this causes cogging which leads to poor running - and give them plenty of running in

    2. witherbrow

      witherbrow

      so much temptation ive got a few hours to make up my mind hmmmmmm
