At best the 460 was a semi-ancestor of the 101, built by ABB Zurich which would later merge its rail division with Daimler-Benz's to form Adtranz,...
Fair point. ...although it could be done using all leaser rolling stock in Wells Fargo or GATX paint ( a subtle finger to BNSF)
While not "trains," each of the SPG locos came out with both the all-blue Yn3b and older blue/grey Yn2 liveries.
As a minor point, there are no TSW2-native German routes with freight. Which means Livery Editor can't be used to add variety to those rather...
All right: I just had a thought which might spur DTG into taking livery-sharing seriously: money. If, with such a system set yp, DTG could start...
I don't think it's a good comparison. Buying the Pacer or Sprinter would not have been by any means fiscally un-doable for CalTrain; probably not...
No passenger service. Freight makes that run (and most people who bought RSN did it because they like freight)
One broken service out of 300.
Update: I've turned motion blur back on. It helps disguise the "creeping sleepers" and similar behavior by fences and the like, and I don't spend...
You're running a freight (Class M or U). 40 is the restricted speed for passenger (Class O) trains. Try it again staying under 30.
Definitely happens without reloading a save.
As if BR had that kind of money in 1974. It didn't. Viable? Not with US geography. At the typical distances between major cities, air is more...
As well as DTG's stated commitment to improve optimization.
That's arrogance? I would apply that word to rather different behavior. Like slamming users who actually buy the products (that keep DTG in...
The 43 was excellent for the role it was cast in: high-speed, limited-stop express service. Indeed, the Intercity 125 is a modern classic, and was...
BNSF can't trademark the land their tracks run through! The only license needed is Amtrak's
Its not just the cab car but the 101 itself: it isnt a 'multi' like the ICE3M, it does't have Swiss pantographs
If it makes you feel any better, the German switchyards are mostly empty too.
Yep. Probably excessively so. I found the hard way that you have to keep it down to 1.5 mph to guarantee 100% loading.
Rather like an old big-block Galaxie station wagon, the top speed is fine but it takes a week to get up to it. That's OK for Amtrak, running a...
IMO, the lighting of NTP is absolutely perfect for the setting. British Rail in the Seventies in Lancashire and Yorkshire? Of course everything...
I would disagree. It's an SD40 road switcher with a cab body and HEP tacked on. But it still accelerates as sluggishly and brakes as wonkishly...
Y-series shunting jobs don't take so long.
You need to cycle the throttle on and then off again before you regain control. Basic safety interlock in all German trains
Drama queen much? Ruhr-Sieg Nord has almost 300 services to run with just the base engines alone before DLC, , and you are saying you wasted your...
Quite so. For me, at any rate, it's simply an aesthetic thing and part of the 'immersion;' in most TSW tutorials, the narrative voice has been...
I hadn't noticed that. I just played Cumberland Charge yesterday, used dynamic braking to hold speed all the way down the grade, and my EOT...
Neither do I. Conceivably it might have been layered in by RSN though. Keep in mind however that not all AI trains are in the player timetable.
.... 50 years ago when the Intercity was first launched, it was all first class.
Although DTG can't be blamed for the rotation of the Earth (much as I expect some will try to), a problem with livestreaming from Britain, for...
Well done! The moment I saw it, I figured it was a winner. Striking, striking image. (Also, as a splash screen, a nice shout-out to DTG's...
Manned helpers: absolutely they still are. Whilst the more modern engines are rigged for remote control, and most older locos in service have...
Well that is the point. CalTrain for whatever insane reason tried to make a commuter engine out of a freight locomotive- meaning it's probably...
Came back up, no worries
Okay, so it's not me....
Not working for me- All I'm getting is the usual Steam TSW store page, with a link to the Festival of Rail advert page. But no trace of a stream...
Lots of posts about what people like, and want, and want more of; but not nearly as much negative reinforcement ("DTG, please let's not have any...
Interesting thing to note about DTG's model- on the real 406, at least according to the DB chart, the second car at the first-class end is a...
The portion of Amtrak's Empire Builder route (Chicago-Seattle/Portland) which skirts Glacier National Park. Whitefish - West Glacier - Essex -...
Where is this Distributed Power Fuse in EMD engines?
I suspect it's because modeling an open cafe/bar with all of its myriad bottles and bags of crisps and whatnot would mean introducing a boatload...
A nice change of pace from rocketing down straightaways.
IIRC the DB retired all their TDs. The last one, Hamburg-Copenhagen, was shut down in 2017 (the DSR still operates them on that route though)
From Northern Trans-Pennine: Seventies Guy! [IMG]
Re-ran it and got a cheapo gold, simply by leaving PzB off and ignoring speed limits, so I arrived before 1805.
And sometimes on RSN resuming from a save initiates an immediate Sifa emergency braking, but if you're prepared you can recover quickly (or just...
Yes. They also mentioned that for technical reasons, one fix each for five different routes would make a download five times as large as five...
Yeah, kind of hard to run an 800 on the modeled route, considering that at the time and in the model the catenary only extends as far as Taplow.......
Not exactly. The ICE3 (403) has a full-blown Speisewagen, but on the ICE3M (406) it was downgraded to a cafe....
