The main train stations used to be downtown. They went broke. None of your recommendations will alter the fact that New York and Chicago are 1200...
AIUI, the current issue with NA freight is not having access to real locos for photo/sound surveys. We have in part brought this on ourselves,...
Also, I believe 4014 needs a source of HEP for the coaches, since the Big Boy was a freight engine and wasn't built with passenger-coach support.
Amtrak over the first fifty years of its existence lost a billion dollars each and every year. That comes to-- 50 billion dollars. Last year our...
If you want to nit-pick, at least pick an important nit, like the lack of an internal connector between the cabs, or perhaps the fact that the...
Just bought it- one of only three routes in ages I have paid full price for (Niddertal, Blackpool, Salzburg). Quality releases do make more...
[ATTACH] BR 403, Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel-Würzburg
Starting a München-Frankfurt service (ICE 1580), the front coupler door is open, and the coupling-control light is flashing (pushing it engages...
A very easy improvement, since all uploads are tagged, is to enable search-by-tag.
Hmmm- now that is possible. Since I was just starting from a stop, I was only going 2-3 mph when I got tagged, and the loco could well still have...
All right, I've calmed down. The brakes are what they are; blame Bombardier. But I still have to register an objection to the way the cruise...
The assets, sure, but learning how to build the system is another story
Did all of that. Five minutes later, light is still on. Bizarrely, what did seem to wirk was removing the reverser handle and putting it back in....
Except the brake demand light is on, locking out the whole system
Come on, people, surely there is a procedure to recover a 66!
That’s cheatin’
Of course. I just stopped at the signal, remember?
Tried that. No dice.
I LOVEcking HATE the 4024. I absolutely despise that POS! Manually lapped brakes? A cruise control with no numeric feedback, and which neither...
I have been banging my head against this for an hour, but I cannot come up with any combination of control-jiggery and waiting to get the brake...
BUG: Scenario "Spring Morning" (PC/Steam) You are instructed to stop at Cadder, great. Red signal. Contact Signaller, check. Permission to...
You don't have to disengage AFB to apply brakes! Just apply the brakes. (This will lock the throttle out, so you need then to reduce throttle to...
I'm confused What Happened on September 28, 1928 Historical Events 1st recording session in Nashville (Warmack's Gully Jumpers) Juan de la...
1) LZB isn't anything to worry about, here. I'm not even sure it's installed on the route, since its real purpose is cab signaling at speeds over...
Well, nothing happened because you didn't acknowledge PZB! The warning you see onscreen is a game helper- IRL PZB never signals you or tells you...
Clinchfield would like a word.
You asked for info....
As well it should; the 111 uses the major mechanicals from the 110. It really is in most respects the BR 110B

A gospel I've been trying to preach for a long time. Simply put, DTG needs a more relaxed release-date schedule, because too often its routes...
And there i completely agree! Something like, oh I don't know, maybe beige above and deep crimson below?
All right, how many developer man-hours per week do you think DTG should allocate to these things? Two million, six? A zebdillion? The fact is,...
To take this back to the thread topic, DTG said right from the start that the suspension system would NOT be in TSW4 at launch. So I fail to see...
That is a DIYD/DIYD situation. Replace them with 3D trees, performance goes to hell. Remove them entirely, then it looks nothing like the heavily...
Not really going to be a problem on PC, I don't think :cool:
That would require budgeting, both time and money. Matt's basically doing these personal side projects for free. Say thank you to the nice man.
It's tough to find, in fact IIRC on the GP38 you can't even see it from the seat. Stand up and look at the bottom of the brake stand near the...
Well, these forums are sure a great compass to follow! For how long have we been objecting that DTG haven't been following their old policiy of...
Well, I think there were a couple of factors, and the new Deutsche Bahn corporate identity was a factor. But there was also a practical side: for...
Well, it is the case that the % range includes a current-limiter to prevent the circuit breaker opening under heavy load, and so that would seem...
I like the coach colors of the PF era, and the rainbow variety they brought. It's just Orientrot that I find intensely disagreeable. DB must have...
Careful with terms here: a layer is actually a group of services, not the trains that run on them, except to the extent the route designer pairs...
If we really want to be nitpicky, only 111s with road numbers from 001-146 should have scissor pantograps (Model 54); later ones were all...
Using repurposed 110 sounds for some (NOT all) of the 111 sound suite is a very minor sin, because the 111 in many respects is an updated 110 with...
I would venture the 110 is dependent on BRO, because the LFR version is in Orientrot livery
It might be that concern over capacity on 8th-gen consoles meant that they didn't want to have the route load up a large number of Swiss assets...
The 3M (BR 406) only runs to Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The regular 403 can run on Austrian power.
IIRC, on the Munich-Rosenheim-Salzburg-Vienna run, ICs and ECs are equivalent trains, but the former are DB and the latter OBB. (Historically,...
Exactly. Unfortunately, German trains aren't equipped with an EOTD with a brake pipe readout, so all you can do is wait [guesstimate] time and try...
In Siemens' case, IIRC it was through Siemens that they were able to do a complete video and sound survey - basically they were loaned a loco and...
Separate names with a comma.
