    I was wondering if they are gonna add the sparks to the recent cross city.

    I think there was mention of this in one of the streams. Something about the power use in the middle carriage wasn't modelled so the pantograph was inert as far as the spark procedure was concerned. I think they were planning to sort it, but can't remember how/when.

    Oh ok I hope they employ that. It sure would be good to see some spark in there. Kinda missing it in cross city.

    For some reason they made the train only take power from one of the driving cars rather than where the actual power contact is.
    Seems back to front to me, but that's the decision they made

    Matt said on the stream that the motors aren;t on the power car, so the system wasn't recognising it.
    He did say it was being worked on.

    That's what I meant. The cars with the driving motors are the "electrically energised ones" even if the power's actually coming from the one with the panto (or shoe on 3rd rail)
    So to me it would make sense to have the panto / shoe cars be the ones electrically charged and the ones with the motors only live if those cars are powered. And then add sparks
