    It looks like the db br 387 emu has this option but i can't find anyone useing it on youtube tsw2 videos,so is this even useable on the london commuter line or is just a non used option currently?

    There is only 3rd rail 750 dc colts on bml. If you were to put it on a 25kv ac line using scenario planner, the panotragh will raise and switch over to ac power. Has it’s own ac sounds and physics

    I placed a 387 in St Pancras using scenario planner with "off the rails" but couldn't get the pantograph to raise
    DC wouldn't disengage or shoes up
    AC wouldn't engage

    Press and hold the AC button for about 10 seconds then press the "pan up", again for 10 seconds

    Yeah, Matt said on a stream that it'll only normally raise if there's a wire above it (doesn't apply in off-the-rails mode) and will be quite a bit faster than it is on third rail.

    This is not a DB BR train.
    It’s a Class 387 from England
