Hey there I have found an interesting way to change the Phantographs or Stromabnehmer on the Br185.5.
The Netzauswahl (network selection) screen doesn't just- and doesn't necessarily - change the pantograph. It changes the transformers and the rest of the electrical system to run on various AC voltage standards found around western Europe. But the same pantographs work for most- the Swiss system however requires a narrower than standard pantograph, thus the alternate set when you choose SBB. The switch on the back wall just chooses front or back (or automatic depending on reverser setting)
"185.5" is the BR number assigned to those TRAXX F140AC2s which were built for private companies, although the differences from a DB F140AC2 (185.2) are pretty much nonexistent; in practice all this means is that MRCE's have road serial numbers 182-5xx whereas DB's are 185-2xx (or 3xx). But it is real, at least in a bureaucratic sense.
Notice also that there is one significant and visible difference (in game and in RL): the .5s have a set of Swiss pantographs, the .2s don't
does the "Netz" thing on display actually work? I mean, I managed to get into the selection, moved it onto OBB, and tried hitting E softkey, but nothing happened... is this actually functional or just... there I would like to try switching to OBB for testing of certain stuff
