    Hi,
    "View Manuals" in TS2020 Settings/Tools does not open the folder it says it will. Can anyone throw some light on this? Failing that, can some good body tell me what the keyboard entry is for "Reverser - Neutral" please?

    Manuals are located in the game's directory in the "Manuals" folder so you can just navigate there and look at them.

    The folder should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Manuals.

    You can also find the manuals for most DLCs in that DLC's Store page. That can be useful if you're already driving and want to look something up on another device rather than risking an alt-Tab which TS can be touchy about. For that reason I'd suggest copying the manuals to your 'phone or whatever else that you can have handy.
    There isn't one. The reverser works differently depending on what you're driving so it can be any position between fully forwards through closed to full reverse in a steam locomotive or notched at forwards, neutral and reverse in a Diesel or electric- basically a two way switch with a central off position at neutral although some loco's have an additional disconnected position.

    In all cases the reverser is a slider controlled by the mouse or W (to move it towards forward) and S (to reverse). In a kettle the reverser will stop where you leave it so if you move it to 50% forward, either by dragging it with the mouse or holding W/S until it is in that position, then let go it will stay there. In a Diesel or electric it will settle into the nearest notch when released- move it to somewhere near the middle and it will drop into neutral.
