I think there are some good possibilities that might work out. Particularly, I think a German electric freight loco - something like the Br 185....

Not much. You could hold the indirect brake in release (remember the Füllstoß etc. we were talking about?) which should help speed things up but...

Not quite sure where to put this since there’s no general discussion of the expert 101 with any real traction and I didn’t want to revive the...

Might I ask you to elaborate on what exactly is inaccurate?

I’d love to see the Br 110 in an expert version. Lots of old-school electronics in that one.

Unfortunately, can’t watch the stream until next week. However, I’m really happy that the reception seems to be positive here (setting aside the...

Still very excited to see this coming now! :) Just like with the 218 before, I honestly have trouble following the complaints about the price. If...

I know! That’s what makes it so frustrating in a way. Given that no other stop gave that much time gain, it seems I did something in just the...

There isn’t one. The screenshot you’re talking about is from the cab car, which doesn’t have AFB.

I’ve seen it on Hamburg - Lübeck when the 218 came out. Also PS5.

Well, yes and no. You cannot attach a new loco to a service in the timetable and drive that service. But you can spawn a loco with some coaches...

I’m on console (PS5). We mostly use the free roam functionality in the regular timetable to spawn the Jubilee alongside the coaches. Not quite...

Inspired by our different techniques, I had another go at the Blackpool South - Preston run today trying to find something of a middle ground...

Excellent work, lcyrrjp. That was an impressive run. :) I’m quite intrigued by our almost opposite approaches to the starts. For me, the safeties...

I don’t want to get too much into it since the 204 is not what this thread is about. In summary, Rivet messed up the drivetrain of the 204...

While any of the extensions discussed here would of course be welcome, it is the 700 in the timetable that I’d love most. Brighton just doesn’t...

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...
