    Curiously, does any route in game have these signs? I can't seem to find any.

    I should have linked this when I created the thread months ago but I'm doing it now :)

    Hello! For any newer scenario creators looking for some tips for how to make scenarios utilising Working Timetables published by Network Rail, here's a link to a couple of posts showcasing an example for the newly-released Manchester Airport Commuter route. Any questions? Ask them HERE and I'll get back to you as soon as I can:

    Все привет! Есть ли где-нибудь руководства для новых локомотивов Class 220 Voyager, ALP-45DP, DB BR 294? И если есть, то где их можно скачать?

    [EDIT - Jan - Translation Added]

    Я пишу на своём родном языке. В чём проблема. Если у вас в правилах форума есть определённые требования к письму только на английском языке, то впредь я буду соблюдать это правило. Если таковых требований нет, то это выглядит с вашей стороны, как дискриминация по языковому признаку.

    Respectfully...
    1. Yes, that's a rule here; despite English not being the 1st language for most of us ( myself included )
    2. He's a community manager, not a random guy

    Hi! It's not difficult for me to use an online translator to write messages. But precisely because he's an administrator (or whatever his name is?) So I wrote an objection. It looks like putting pressure on a person who speaks a language other than his own. It looks like an attempt to impose "YOUR" terms, rather than the requirements of the site.

    For starters: I agree that English should be used by all users, I've pointed this out before as it makes communicating difficult if everyone uses their own language. Ik zou in dat geval in het Nederlands communiceren.

    Now I went digging into the 'terms of use' where both the words 'language' and 'English' don't appear in the context of describing which language should be used. When digging deeper I found the 'acceptable use policy' which describes what kind of content and posts you can and cannot create on DTG's websites (et al.), including the forums. But there also no requirement of using English is stipulated.

    As such purely based on 'the rules' I must agree with kirtoksg#1764 that they can use whatever language they prefer, but I would strongly encourage our community management to take a look on their terms of use and provide more detailed language rules for the forums.

    Hello everyone In the November challenges, there is a task called "I'm Going On An Adventure. In a single Free Roam session, collect a collectible, walk 1km and drive 10km". How to complete it, what exactly needs to be done? I tried to start walking on one of the routes in the "timetable" mode, walked a lot, collected items, then put the train on the rails and drove 15-20 km. Nothing counted. I tried to do the same in a free game, but nothing counted.

    This task should be completed in freeroom mode, not in timetable mode.
    Nicht im Fahrplanmodus, sondern im Freeroum soll man diese Aufgabe machen.

    Hi! I wrote above that I tried to complete the task in a free game. So I chose the Brighton Main Line route: London Victoria - Brighton, went into the "free game", walked around the stations and collected a few items. But there are no trains here. Then how do you drive 10 kilometers? Then I put a train on the tracks and rode it for those 10 kilometers. Then I went to the main menu. The task was not counted. What did I do wrong?

    I think I see the problem: you've collected several items. But it says to collect "one" item. I collected one item, walked 1 km, and drove 10 km, and it worked. However, I can't guarantee that it's true that it's only "one" item.
    Ich glaube, ich sehe das Problem, Sie haben mehrere Gegenstände eingesamelt. Es heisst aber "Ein" Gegenstand sammeln. Ich habe einen Gegenstand gesammelt, 1 Km gelaufen und 10 km gefahren und hat funktioniert. Ich gebe aber keine Garanie ab, dass das mit "Einem" Gegenstand stimmt.

    To travel 10 kilometers, do you need to place a train on the tracks? Because there's no other way to get through.:)

    Yes, place a train on the tracks and use a 2D map to set a route that is at least 10 km long, travel this route and collect a trophy.
    Ja, einen Zug auf die Gleise setzen und via 2D Karte einen Weg setzen, der Minimum 10 Km lang ist und diese Strecke abfahen und einen Gefenstand sammeln.
