A little older than that - delivery started in 1996, so 28 years in service currently. They rack up so much mileage on IC duty though that 30...
Honestly, I doubt the 101 has much of a future with private EVUs if DB sells them in the first place. While they were designed as universal locos...
80km/h, actually. The V60 is limited to 60km/h in track mode.
amtraknick1993, thank you once more for your detailed replies. I had another question about braking if you don’t mind - specifically from my...
Really, PFR has so many things working against it, it shouldn’t be used as a benchmark for steam routes if that’s the problem. The timetable is...
There are entire threads about it. DTG’s official stance is that they’re not actively developing steam anymore but welcome 3rd parties that would...
It does. Arbitrary game-overs because something might go wrong would take away any real skill requirement. Not to mention that actual railroading...
I agree. Why would DTG come up with an elaborate plot fitting a thriller to make a point when they could instead just drop the development of...
As it's not a Bombardier loco, it won't have any! :D Jokes aside, I'm looking forward to what you're cooking up here for us. Fault simulation...
It should be, no need to reinvent the wheel.
I get the distinct feeling that I need to pay the area a visit when I come back to the UK again. :)
Thanks, lcyrrjp. True about the latter part of the climb. I was really happy until we hit the tunnel and speed started to drop off. Admittedly, I...
They are? What about the ICE L? In fact, with the IC2 and ICE L, I’d argue loco hauled express trains are in a bit of a renaissance right now.
Going into the route with 50+% off and low expectations helps. It’s certainly immediately obvious that it’s a Rivet product (gorgeous train...
Very excited for this. I certainly got my money’s worth from the original 101 and I’m perfectly willing to pay for the announced features. This...
Not looking to start a fight, but those two statements are at odds with each other. A mismatched livery means the loco is not authentic to the...
I sure hope not. A traffic red 218 on NID would be absolutely immersion-shattering. Either backdate the 218 or leave it.
We'd need a backdated version for that. Not impossible given that TSG got us a slightly modernized traffic red 628 alongside the mint green 628 in...
Very exciting roadmap this time around. The 218 is a lot closer than I had thought and the 101 as the first expert loco. Very nice, indeed. Here:
Have a read.
New update on the 218: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Coming soon with n-Wagen, KaKo and TB11 engine (apparently) to HBK. Source
That sounds pretty exciting, to be honest. Most of these things are stuff I've wanted to see in TSW for a long time. Agreed on an expert 185 or...
Yeah, I say keep the steam suggestions coming. What else can we do to make it known that abandoning steam was a mistake?
New tales from the footplate, this time from my attempt on the Up Palatine. This link will take you directly to the log of my run. Straight off...
When I clicked on this thread, it did strike me that an extremely similar thread about RSN exists from a few years ago....
Quick Update on the Spreadsheet Stopping runs now have a "Total Running Time" under the "Total Time" to help compare runs with differing stopping...
SFJ had hoppers with graffiti.
Lots of happy memories on the Bluebell and I’d love a Terrier as well. Would love to see both in TSW.
I've added your run to the spreadsheet. Apologies if I got anything wrong. What an impressive run, matt#4801. You were consistently faster than...
Ask and I shall deliver :D Just like matt#4801, my work on the spreadsheet has inspired me to return to SoS. Shockingly, I had to observe that...
Attention on Platform 1 - the New Timetable is in Effect for All Trains [ATTACH] lcyrrjp and I have been working on something in the background...
I came for steam and stayed for the scenery. To elaborate a bit, I initially got MML solely for the steam challenge in the known thread (Steam - A...
That is what the route is in dire need of, I feel. Don't get me wrong, RSN is amazing - especially for its time - but the rolling stock prevents...
Of course. You're still driving an electric locomotive through a neutral section, albeit remotely.
I could see the '120+cab-car DLC' solution for the problem. It's simply the most elegant solution. It will never be a free upgrade of the HRR 101...
Regarding the IC cab car, that sure does come as a surprise to me if true. No idea just how they’ll release it given the obvious difficulties. As...
Well, in the hopes that those pronounced dead live longer (German proverb), I’d love a Terrier or Jinty.
Hope you allow me another slightly off-topic addition to this, OldVern, about one of my favourite topics - the Einheitseloks. Besides doors,...
The cab does have openable windows: [ATTACH] Source For some reason though, DTG omitted making them operable in TSW. Sorry that your favourite...
What aeronautic237 said. In addition, your response to the signal was less than optimal: You were going rather fast for a mode M freight train. In...
Where? I’m only aware of the PS4 version.
It's not a console or performance limitation per se. It's a PS4 title that for some reason never got uncapped on PS5.
Well, the obvious ones of little surprise here are Zusi, MSTS/OR, Diesel Railcar Sim and Tram Sim. Apart from those, I also quite enjoy the...
Stuff in yellow on train screens only appears after you have acknowledged something, so you’ll only get penalty brake applications watching out...
This I agree with. I know it’s a dead horse but it’s the best example I’ve got - Rivet’s 204. While I prefer the West German V100, I just have a...
Same here on PS5.
The 101 DLC layers onto those as in: the IC cars do. They’re coupled with HBK’s MRCE 182 for a couple of playable services on Vorarlberg and a...
There’s some good climbing in there, matt#4801 :) I find it quite interesting to compare our choices in regulator/cut-off. It would seem we both...
Terribly sorry! Next round is on me ;) Good catch! I didn’t even notice that. What a lovely detail. Looking forward to that :)
The one account we've had of these locos in real life was 0% front damper and up to 50% on the back but how much that means with TSW's weird...
Separate names with a comma.
