I was being (half-)serious. I've worked on Bombardier 185s/186s. I have no idea about the Talents but I would not at all be surprised if that...
The 112 has a different headlight configuration and different bogies for 160km/h (instead of the 143’s 120km/h). That’s the main differences. 143...
Not as far as I'm aware. I just read your comment about tunnels and thought of NBÜ since it's the only system I'm aware of that deals with tunnels...
The opposite as far as I know. It's the switch to issue an LZB-emergency brake order across the system. You use PZB-Release to override LZB...
…which is why I think our runs are pretty much identical. If you put together the times I didn’t stay for a minute, I’d probably arrive at Preston...
Now we're even filing reports at the same time! :D I find it interesting how we got very similar timings and even speeds with somewhat different...
So, I was planning on having another bit of fun on WSR tonight but when I saw this prompt, I got giddy. I'm not admitting defeat on PFR, but as I...
Thank you for correcting me! I checked and it’s true that the line is not GNT equipped.
I’m pretty sure they’re for GNT, not ETCS. They were present from the start but non-functional since GNT was only added later by DCZ. GNT is a...
Ah, I see. For a shunter, that actually makes sense though. Don’t know how it’s done in the UK but in Germany, shunters are turned off when...
True. I’m curious what work went into it since - if I recall correctly - the latest has always been that the AI can’t handle it.
I’m all for new challenges, but I don’t own Edinburgh-Glasgow and - different to some of the other routes we discussed - don’t plan on picking it...
I used the Class 09 services in the steam gala as a little time filler today. Am I going mad or does the 09 start out cold in the timetable?
Just found these and figured I’d share them here for everyone’s convenience. Once more, pictures by Influenzo shared shortly before New Year’s...
You're very welcome. I hope for more vintage German routes as well. I'd love even older ones, too, but the 90s are a great decade for variety. I...
No, it’s been bugged since release of TSW4. There’s nothing that can be done on your end.
True. It does rely on you remembering a somewhat niche feature of the PFR banking setup.
Did you sound the whistle twice to have the 8F release the brakes at the back? I had no issues with the goods train.
I’m quite happy, but I don’t really know what a real 4F sounds like, so take my impressions with a huge grain of salt. :)
Have to say, I’m quite chuffed about the update. Just had a go at the early morning 4F goods train and it was really nice to stretch her legs a...
That’s why I put her in bare essentials. The 140 is essential for any vintage electrified line and 110s on freight shouldn’t be the norm going...
Well, it‘s quite a bit depending on what you define as missing. The bare essentials missing to my mind are: Br 140 for freight and local...
That’s not a layer, that’s just substituting for the 146. When the new timetable was released, DRA didn’t exist yet so that wasn’t an option.
a.paice, I’m with matt#4801 here. If you get the chance - in a sale maybe or when the diesel pack comes, … - PFR is brilliant. It’s certainly held...
Holy moly, matt#4801! Oh boy did you deliver :D I applaud your decision to keep the table for the end, it certainly worked on me! We appreciate...
Great job at chipping away some time even if the end result was (understandably) disappointing for you. Some very interesting thoughts here as...
Can’t find any source on it, but based on similar units and what I’m seeing on the undercarriage in TSW, I’m assuming it’s: 2’B’+B’2’
Here you go:
The audio level is sort of alright on its own if a little on the quiet side. The problem is that everything else on SEHS seems to be oriented to a...
No problem :) I’m from Germany but have a strong interest in USA model railroading, so I know what it’s like to wrap your head around a foreign...
And a 90s Frankfurt (Main) would miss a lot more rolling stock than the Mainz - Koblenz we got already does.
There seems to be some confusion here. Neither EUROFIMA nor IC2310 are a type of service of the DB. EUROFIMA is a financing group involved in...
Well, it’s rather disheartening to hear this after having been assured that manual firing was still coming. It seems our only hope for steam are...
spikeyorks, happy to see you here and great work on the screenshots! I particularly enjoy the last one, the extreme long shot of the train. Oh,...
True. You can see the nose vibrate from inside the cab. And if you use an external cam, the entire loco is vibrating. It’s a shame. I love vintage...
I thought I was going mad since I couldn’t find anyone else reporting this. Unfortunately, it’s one of the first things I noticed. I was really...
Well, I just about had time to squeeze in another run on PFR. Not going to lie, it was a pretty bad effort on my part, but I did my Ambergate...
Great effort! I concur, your climb to Millers Dale seems spot on, a large improvement over my preliminary run. The last climb to Peak Forest is...
lcyrrjp, I get what you mean. When I looked through the thread for the previous runs, I noticed that it's not really all that good to navigate -...
It’s a shame thought that it carried over to the ATSF F7. It would have been nice to use them with some form of passenger rolling stock at least...
Opening the firebox door is the command to shovel coal. Since we have no way of knowing what the fire is doing, we have to keep the fireman...
Hiya, andy#3741 :) Sorry if you got slightly confused. I noticed we haven’t mentioned the basic set-up in a while, so I imagine it’s easy to get...
lcyrrjp, impressive run in the adverse conditions. Well done :) Lagging barely a minute behind my run, which had optimal weather conditions and at...
No, it stays at 90psi. Don’t know if that is prototypical or not.
Agreed. I'd love to actually get something out of the 204, but I can't. Beautiful as she may look, the physics are beyond immersion-breaking for me.
I love this thread. With no intention to go over it again, we all know that the state of steam traction in TSW is less than ideal. But here we...
Thanks, matt#4801, but let me congratulate you :) Amazing run chipping off even more seconds! Very interesting approach with the high cut-offs in...
lcyrrjp, thank you so much :) Teamwork got us there in the end :D It’s like that engineering saying: I can’t tell you where to save 1 ton, but I...
lcyrrjp, I've tried to learn from your techniques and I got a run that leaves me both extremely satisfied but also rather irritated. You'll see...
Indeed. You can feel it even in more ‘modern’ (relatively speaking) tap changers like the Br 143. Just accelerate in the cab car the same way you...
