    I give up. I cannot find any clues as to how to operate this unit. Can someone help me please?

    Try reading the B****y manual?

    Have a look in *Your Drive Letter*:\Program Files (86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Manuals first and foremost, if that fails YouTube it, maybe someone's covered its operation and posted a video.

    Try watching this Alan Thompson video he made just after it's release, very informative and should point you in the right direction!

    The same glitch that lets folk score 1000 points without actually completing the scenario?

    Wouldn't call it a glitch. If I feel cheated by the game for not awarding me the score after successfully finishing all tasks I do that myself, it's a singleplayer game anyway. And it's fairly easy to do.

    Thanks for that. I have been through this video and the instructions over and again and still no action. It simply doesn't do what Alan Thompson illustrates it doing and I am running the same scenario. The "auxiliaries set" button or the "x" on the keyboard should bring the thing to life and they don't.
    I am running it in Windows 10 on a Lenovo Ideapad 330.

    I have now found another video by Alan Thompson

    This one from 2021 shows a different cold start procedure from the video above, and from the manual.
    This involves;
    Setting the Drivers Direction Switch to neutral
    Turning the Master Key anti-clockwise
    This works for my version. It seems there was a change for some reason and the instructions are out of date. I will post more as I find out more.

    Very interesting 39001.
    What date did you download your current copy?
    I should make a backup!

    Because you bought it thru Steam the manual should have been downloaded automatically
    Class 460 Train Operating Manual.pdf is what you should have - it might be in a folder called Master Key

    It is as Peter Says:
    \STEAM\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Manuals\EN\Class 460 Train Operating Manual.pdf , where EN is English and you can change that to your native tongue

    Glitch? Not sure I would call it a glitch. What are you referring to?
    Let me see if I can help. One moment.

    You guys have missed the point considerably. The manual cited above is now WRONG and will not start the current iteration of the game. Follow the instructions I posted above instead.

    I never said it was right or wrong. I was noting what is in my current version of the manual for discussion purposes. I already gathered that it's wrong. I wonder if we should post a modified order. I'll have to watch that video to see what is different. Haven't actually driven the 460 yet so might be a good excuse to visit it soon for me.
