    I just bought the Class 66 RHTT and logged into Train Depot to see what I could do with it.
    The answer is... get very confused. What I did was...
    • Click on Train depot
    • Click on Timetable
    • Click on Class 66 EWS
    • Clock on Class 66 EWS (RHTT)
    I get this screen:

    Which is interesting as I did not know it was on six routes
    Okay - I'll pick Edinburgh-Glasgow and I get this screen:
    upload_2023-2-3_22-50-28.png
    Which is weird. Needless to say I get the East Coastway timetable.for ALL Class 66s

    After clicking around a bit I find that to get the Edinbugh:Glasgow timetable I have to select Cathcart. To get Catchcart you need to select East Coastway. Great Western gives you London Commuter. And so on.

    Do it through the route selection screen, not through loco selection which can cause some issues.

    This is interesting. I have the Cathcart route, yet I don't get the option to use the 66 RHTT on it. The only route I can use it on is the SEHS.
    So do you need all 6 routes for it to be available?

    Well, yes - but the whole point of Train Depot was to be able to drive a train without having to first know/guess which route it ran on.

    Well, that is another "error" because I am
    Neither did I until Train Depot showed me this: upload_2023-2-5_21-59-43.png
    It is why Train Depot is a good idea... if it works!

    Is that when you have selected the RHTT, When I sect it this is what I get

    It seems that I no longer have the Standard 66 in the train depot, only the RHTT version?

    One thing I have noticed is that some of the services listed as RHTT aren't actually RHTT runs. Services with headcodes that start with 6 (as seen above) are normal freight runs but they can use the dirty EWS class 66 which has the RHTT control panel.
    Only services with headcodes that start with 3 are RHTT runs (ie 3A21).

    Yes cuz it's still a 66. It's an rhtt with the freight equipment during the fall season. Outside of that, it's still using a 66 which can sub into other 66s
