Yes, free roaming the 90s into a timetable for a different route does open up a lot of possibilities, for example taking them over Shap with a loaded freightliner.
It would if they worked!! But you shouldn’t need to free roam them. You pay for a DLC and it should layer into any appropriate route. I appreciate the safety systems may make it inappropriate for Shap but the other routes that have been discussed it should be able to layer onto.
DRA doesn't work. Lights red but loco still draws power. Also light loco really shouldn't be limited to 75 surely?
I was thinking faster? It says 110mph in the cab and with no load it should be able to do that on the wcml to Wembley ?
It may be counterintuitive, but when a locomotive is running on its own (light engine), the ratio between the available braking force and the rolling mass is less favorable than when there are braked towed vehicles.
ISTR the maximum speed for light engine moves is limited to 75 MPH regardless of actual top speed. So ATS got that bit right.
No offence, but I do not find this statement to be particularly helpful, either. Well, my credit card worked fine on the Class 90 and, fortunately, in most countries where DTG operates, we have left the times of "caveat emptor" behind. If someone sells something that does not do what s/he says it does, it is an obligation to fix the problem. Not a grace or charity.
