The ICE's on Line 25 are ICE 1s and 2s, gradually being replaced now by ICE 4s. No ICE 3s.

That would be a question for staff to answer, but just as a guess, it is hard to come up with a meaningful distinction between "In planning" and...

I agree generally with what you say, but I have to admit that like many here I'm not crazy about all the urban textures being so pristine, smooth...

Really? I had assumed DB Netz had installed it on all Hauptstrecken by now.

And HRR needs LZB, because of the 425: IRL, they aren't allowed over 140 km/h except with LZB.

Okay, now I get what you're saying. Older routes don't make provision for newer locos, of necessity. Unless a new TT for older routes is...

Fine, but that doesn't really tell me how to use keys or mouse to control them effectively

Not necessarily. The 422 (layered in from RRO) gets a whole set of S-Bahn services of its own in SKA, it isn't just a 442 replacement. Similarly,...

You can remap your keyboard bindings in Settings.

There are any number of online conversion pages that will turn RGB or Hex codes into the HSV used by Livery Designer. Or you can use a graphics...

There are two systems of limits in effect: the posted track limit, which applies to all trains (segregated by type), and the individual train...

On the speed boards (the red and white speed limit signs beside the track)

WRT the OP: SPG has its own challenges, it isn't just a Sunday drive in the country! Controlling a long, heavy train down a steep grade is in its...

Yeah, you have to be careful in timetable mode. I don't know how it was in the TS2020 version (I didn't have it), but with the addition of...

:D YAY!!! :D

Could be, although it's also the case that some B units came from the factory with 'hostler controls' (really intended for self- shunting).

Unfortunately correct. For now you can't use a C40 lead with a DP setup (works fine though leading a single MU, since they're hard-wired and...

Pull the main breaker in the fuse box; that will kill the engine. (for whatever reason, the Emergency Shutdown button doesn't seem to work, but...

Well yes and no. Yes, in RL all three should be off. No, in game terms they don't matter, unless you want to perform an engine shutdown. The...

If you are on PC, there is a freeware app called Livery Manager which allows you to export and import livery files, and these files can be...

That's a mod. And I don't use it, because the liveries are unusable except for people with the same mod installed.

Tried it again the other day: you just have to couple up to the two rogue locos and do the rest of the service with a 4-engine MU. (I found you...

You think we have that on PC? We wish!

All right, just re-ran it. The problem is that the instruction is confusing- it appears to say "stop the whole train past the marker," when what...

The Easter Bunny will bring Sam rotten eggs.

I'm no kind of fps freak, but even to me 15-18 is unacceptable. Motion pictures run at 24.

By the time period modeled, they had either the U36Cs, or the SD45s they traded the Uboats for. Each about double the HP of an F7

Well, I can't fault the inclinometer, even for "real men," because the game can only do video and audio- it can't simulate the pull of gravity on...

Running with supersampling (screen percentage over 100) definitely helps with flickering of all sorts. Doesn't cure it, but it helps.

According to Matt in the stream, Clinchfield's passing sidings were all designed for 100-120 cars, and the game route copies the RL layout

Well, MSB isn't exactly present-day, and wasn't when released: Heigenbrucken and the old tunnel were completely bypassed in 2017. But really what...

TWO streams back to back. Rivet must be scurrying, given the nastiness of the response to the last one. (I mean nasty. The scenery is to be...

Which may confuse the heck out of American children, since over here the show is titled "Thomas the Tank Engine"

That wouldn't make a lot of sense, since TSW routes are set in a specific time period, if not vintage then the time during which the research for...

Sure. Call up the 2D map (9 key on PC, not sure what the controller command is). Or you can access it from the pause screen, BUT- this is a big...

I think the underlying condition for both these rather different points is this: routebuilding for TSW, or at least using the existing TSW...

Did you know that in GWE, the max speed for loco-hauled trains never goes above 75? 90 (and 125) are for DMUs.

Yes, conceded; I was just guessing, and Trammel was and is a siding not a section of double-track main line. However, some posts above, Matt said...

Welllll- Just thinkin' aloud here, but while it's true that your virtual patoot has to be in the "driver's seat" of the locomotive you control,...

The Haysi F7B wouldn't even need a cab - it was radio controlled

Clinchfield certainly had its own GP7s (and a couple of 9s), and late in existence a handful of GP38-2s as well. But these were used in its main...

Is there any way to prevent the regular weather updates from ending a pause and resuming the game? This makes it impossible to go to the...

probably this

Possibly, but possibly too much engine for the job. A GP7 is only "small" by modern road engine standards: 56 feet long, weighs a quarter of a...

Simugraph counts the weight of the passengers too, and their number varies each time.

I never buy anything day one.

EPA's tiered emission standards didn't apply to existing locomotives, just new ones.

According to Matt's post above, at the Trammel loop the eastern track is the main line and the western the passing track/siding, even if...

Did a little poking about: The first 112 "AC6000s" delivered to UP actually had the 7FDL engine of the 4400; these were called by UP "C6044ACs"....
