On the older EMDs, you’ll see a device on the control stand that displays the rear brake pipe pressure. That’s the Head of Train Device (HOTD),...

As sadler_owls said, that has nothing to do with it and solves nothing. MML seems to behave mostly now on PS5, but I still recall 3 crashes -...

Right, I had never used it like that before. So, I could probably just “re-buy” all the stuff but then do the download via the manage content thing.

How about this? [MEDIA] 3:53

That would be nice. The PlayStation Store is an absolute nightmare for the re-downloading. It insists on downloading all versions you own...

Now onto my runs. This is about two of my runs since the third was done with a different rule set. I don’t know if something is broken regarding...

So, I was eager to find a new run for us. While looking through the timetable lcyrrjp kindly linked, I started researching what sort of loads...

As a short follow-up, I did some digging and actually found a real railtour to copy for those interested. Not posting this as a proper challenge...

What you’re referring to is mostly the Nahetalbahn. I’d love to see it but the whole route is too long. And if you’re going to cut it, where?...

Do you mean a shunting signal? Doesn’t look like it. Your picture seems to show an invalid signal.

That’s what I was thinking about as well. It should be a prime candidate for TSW in terms of size and required rolling stock.

True, that’s usually how these things work (as in my example of the 185). Personally speaking, I’d be satisfied with that as long as the new fixed...

I also checked Dad Rail who gave the advice to wait for amps to drop below 1000 before returning the throttle to idle, which isn’t even possible...

Thank you very much for confirming, Valkyrie. I thought I was going mad since no one seemed to talk about it on the forums. Unfortunately, it...

Someone mistook the speed limit for a minimum speed then! :) Always feels like the railways in steam days are barely comparable with the ones...

I agree with you that there are probably a number of factors in play with Layton, lcyrrjp. Being so close to Blackpool North, I imagine it was a...

Oh, yes! I know the Little Joes get all the attention (and they are beautiful, don’t get me wrong) but it’s the box cabs that I’d love getting most.

Hear, hear! I’m always happy to see support for the old Milwaukee electrics on here. That would be a real dream come true.

As teased before, I returned to BPO with our Blackpool (N) - Preston run. My log is as always on our spreadsheet. It was an uneventful run overall...

I see. Probably a time-consuming activity then and difficult to adhere to in a run (given that UK routes lack the easily visible km-boards that...

razmatus#2517, mkraehe#6051, thank you for making me revisit the manual. Learned a thing or two and now that I know that I needn’t mess with the...

Yeah, I figured as much. I can’t remember where I got that from either. I remember for certain that I read/heard it somewhere but that’s it.

mkraehe#6051, thanks for your perspective. True enough, the auxiliary control is never mentioned. I remembered the manual slightly differently....

My source for this was this section of the DB Regio manual: Loosely translated for everyone: The first sentence specifically mentioning...

A while back (actually a few years ago I see now - time flies!) I did a write up of some of unusual features of the 143 that can be found here:...

I assume you’re talking about US content, but for German content, there are not enough cab changes in the scripts for scenarios. If you’re shoving...

I’d absolutely love to see this. Vintage electric locos are a particular passion of mine and the Milwaukee Road’s so interesting precisely because...

Thanks everyone for their anecdotes and Spikee1975 for the book recommendation. It’s good to know that my doubts about the n-Wagen in TSW were...

If NTP ever got touched again, I'd immensely enjoy an official steam timetable for it, like these amazing videos document: [MEDIA] [MEDIA]

Fair enough then. I just thought that way since they really do slow down very fast when doing the normal 1bar reduction brake application. If that...

I’ve been wondering about this, too. The DoStos feel about right when you use realistice braking techniques but the n-Wagen seem to brake...

Established, proven procedure would be a 1bar reduction of the brake pipe at your braking point and the gradually reducing the brake force as you...

Thanks, lcyrrjp. Oh, I hadn’t even considered that. True enough, it would be amazing if we could get a new run out of the JT route. BPO was...

mkraehe#6051 already pointed to the appropriate resource for that: revisionsdaten.de According to that, 101 001-6 lost hers in October 2007 101...

I dug around a bit a found a nice picture that shows the colour difference. [ATTACH] Picture Credit Comparing her red against the traffic red...

Halfway… sort of. I’ve never seen it clearly defined anywhere but as far as I know, the first 3 101s had the traffic red design with the white...

Look no further than my signature. There is not some other limit, there are various other limits to consider (granted, TSW doesn't tell you about...

lcyrrjp, sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Life happens and I got distracted. That was a good attempt. Around the same time, I had made a...

I think late 80s was already announced. (emphasis mine)

Yeah, sounds correct to me :)

I think you need to do this yourself in-game (at least for the n-Wagen KaKo).

…in the 218, yeah - you put the one in your cab in release. Along the whole consist, you need one direct brake in release on the loco and one...

If this does mean an 86 or 87, I’d be over the moon. Don’t think I need to reiterate my love of vintage electric locos on the forums at this point :)

I use the official Sony PlayStation headphones (Pulse 3D or something like that? Can’t remember) on PS5. I find the sound much improved over the...

Posting here not to clog up the feedback thread with it, but if someone wants to have some fun with shunting/local freight via free roam, there is...

As I’ve outlined in this thread, there seems to be something fundamentally wrong with the way the newer Class 66s in TSW apply power:...

If there are consist speed limits, there's nothing but research and background knowledge that will tell you. I don't think there are any such...

On Cane Creek, you should be doing 25mph with every train, I think. Especially on mountain passes in the US, I think it’s all “go as fast as...

Was just about to say this. The HUD is not inaccurate per se, it’s just crucial to remember that the HUD is showing the line speed and not the...

That’s a good call - hadn’t noticed that. It certainly feels like there is something off about notches 1-4 to me. All of them seem to give similar...
