Hi, I'm just wondering If electric trains are usable on the GWML in TSW. I understand its based during the construction but I seen OHLE between Paddington and maidenhead. Maybe I am wrong. If someone could tell me where the OHLE ends and if its usable or not. Thanks
The OHLE ends at Hayes and Harlington (which is where Heathrow Express leaves the route to go to Heathrow). It is not usable, but Off The Rails mode means that doesn't matter anyway.
Oh that's a shame. U can only use off the rails in scenario mode which is inconvenient. Shame you can't use it in timetable mode/ free mode. Thank you for the help
The OHLE eventually ends, however for some reason there's a weird glitch when turning on the diesel generator, the Azuma Train will achieve the same acceleration and speeds as when on Electrics.
I encountered this one myself, have a sort of explanation for it. It basically seems as though the electric and diesel modes of the train do not communicate, in that one is not necessarily aware of when the other is active. This means it's possible to have both active at the same time, even when not under any OHLE. The result is that because of the diesel generator being active the train requires no overhead cable to move, but because the pantograph is 'active' you still get the same performance.
That is an interesting bug - and was apparently the cause of the diesel sounds on AI Azumas. The AI had both Diesel and Electric power on.
