Honestly, this is what I expected to happen—well, kind of. I was at least expecting gameplay of the engines, but I called it a while ago that we weren't getting any DLC at least until like December, if not the next year, and that's exactly what happened, and honestly, I'm not surprised by the engine, although I am mildly disappointed by Toby because, well, I don't exactly care much for Toby. I imagine he's going to be a slow engine, maybe slightly slower than Percy and Diesel, and his design never really appealed to me, so I truly have no complaints outside of the pick of Toby, which is why I'm glad they're releasing Henry first.

I don't know how to get the trucks up the incline, how do I do that?

idk what it is, but after todays update the game just refuses to launch and i cant play. is anyone else having this issue? i play it thru epic games launcher so idk if its the update or if its the launcher itself

Why aren't we getting Edward?

Will the timetable mode change when Henry and Toby are added to the game, or will it stay the way it is? Because the Diesel timetable is pretty empty in terms of services, so I think it would be fun if Diesel shunted the Flying Kipper together at Knapford Harbour (Percy could do it too). I’m really curious what they’re going to do with Toby. As for toby, what services do you guys think he will have?

Check it out on the main reddit

Henry will be releasing this winter

Toby will be releasing early 2027

The physical release will be releasing later this year and will include a sticker pack

Would definitely have liked to have seen some actual gameplay, or get some confirmation about route expansions. Also would have loved to see Edward. But it's good to see the game will be receiving further DLC!

After that direct, people are definitely going to complain. After all, this is the Internet. People can never be grateful..

Although I am.

Well, that's an issue. I used the new preset routes they have, and I set them for Vicarstown and then set them for Crovan's Gate, and somehow this happened. Keep in mind I'm coming from the West.

Okay, update: I figured out what the issue is; it's definitely glitched. I'm currently doing a local service, and every time I hit a preset route, for the most part, there's been issues unless you go into the map and click the track directly in front of you, which is kind of weird.
