    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?

    Maybe it would be more like 60mph (or less).

    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.

    Ok that's the upper limit, but I imagine it varies from one locomotive to another ?

    I think generally that was for all classes, unless of course the MPS is lower than 75 MPH anyway.

    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.

    The blame game absolutely applies here. The customer should expect to get a working product that they have paid for. Someone somewhere along the line made a mistake, whether that is ATS or DTG or both, we'll probably never know. But someone is to blame. Having a go at the community and the customers who have parted with their money buying your product is one way to ensure they don't return.

    Im sticking to my former opinion, which hasnt changed. Ats should have picked a nice route with a matching dmu/emu (also welcome in rhe 80s or 90s era).

    But the Class 90 is too important to just waste it as subpar product. The elephant in the room when i read all comments, at the bottom of the line the 90 and also the cl. 91 should be developped by JustTrains. Also the fact the locos have dvt compability.

    Thanks for botching another nice loco. While all you players rush to the store to finally buy a class 90 for tsw, be well aware this is all you get...there wont be another one.

    Be patient, it seems the developers are working on fixing the situation, which isn't actually that catastrophic. ;)

    Currently running the 05xx 4M42 Gateway to Felixstowe and as far as I can remember (currently at Leighton Buzzard), I haven't seen a single 390 up or down

    Thought i give the training ago but why cant it move once attached to the empty wagons . No safety systems on apply power amps jumpy so there is power . Can't belive they released this janky piece of rubbish.

    Please turn down the sounds of passing trains. It’s way too loud, particularly when the 390’s pass!

    Shouldn’t really be a problem as you only pass two trains from what I’ve read!
