Are you waiting until the brake pipe is fully charged/brakes are fully released all the way to the back of the train? It can take quite a while...
If I'm collectible hunting, I'll hitch a conveniently-timed train to the next stop
If nothing else, we know that DTG have a licence from DB, and have used it on the 66; the next UK route they might instead of yet another EWS give...
ACSES stands for Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System, and is there specifically to enforce track speed limits. These are permanent (and in the...
ACSES: fixed speed limits (like signs). Permanent ATC: signal restrictions. Changeable based on traffic and routing
And a white light, in whatever combination, pretty universally means "Restricting" wherever you are.
They are not however wildly dissimilar. Think rather of the comparison between German, Austrian and Swiss systems: they have a lot in common, and...
https://signals.jovet.net/rules/CSX Signal Rules.pdf Although both CSX and Norfolk Southern are members of NORAC, its model signals are...
They do have a license for DRS (I would like to see that livery sub freely for the overused EWS, which is out of date anyway). DTG could add DRS...
Sure you can. They would just run out of a portal at Airport Junction. Nobody's seriously proposing a route extension (and if one were done the...
The route is set, physically, in September 2015. It has been changed quite a lot IRL since then; the OHLE is just the start of it. At anyrate,...
Actyally, I have a strong suspicion that a Railjet DLC is coming for Salzburg.
How strong is the independent brake? -------------------------- Of course, the 103 was never designed to run routes like that. The Swiss...
There are two problems. One is the coordinate system; each route has its own origin point, so they can't talk to each other spatially. The other...
What did OBB use there before the Taurus? I'm sure it was some kind of tap-changer.
Well, not entirely; the ACSES MAS indication will decline along the curve; it's a digital analog to LZB's and ETCS' moving bug on the speedo.

I dunno, that was when I was living there and that certainly is the impression I took away (and BR, in particular, an aura of clapped-out...
Which, again, would make a quickie reskin of existing stock plausible, if ONLY used as AI "moving scenery" and perhaps static units at Hagen. Of...
The IC2 Dostos are different models from the 760 series we have, the newer Vario TWINDEXX. And, as mkraehe#6051 says, all high-door. (Also, the...
Apparently it will- genuine live 218/TB11 recordings, too.
Wow, that is very cool, and kind of surprising. I guess akin to the "Trainbow" Javelin, a little Easter egg.
Completing the NEC means running it all the way through Philadelphia and Baltimore to Washington. Which is pointless without SEPTA and MARC licenses.
Pretend it's a dual-mode Vectron....
Well, that screen isn't just for Tirano, but for multiple stations. I would guess the system resets every time the starting station is changed....
How many did it take you?
Low-door Dostos.......
Which is completely unrealistic (IRL, you would get angry passenger complaints and an unpleasant conversation with the boss). Yes, that works...
Getting away from tilt and derailment (who drives that fast on this route anyway?)-- There are two serious problems with the secondary controls...
I am getting the checklist, but no matter what I do Tier 2 seems never to register anything betond 2 timetables and 108 km driven.
Interesting- I've never had a problem with HMA, except that the S-Bahn services are almost impossible to keep on time (AI generated schedules)
AIUI, Lübeck is where DB's Betriebswerk (depot) for the 218s is located, so it's their "home."
[IMG] Oh, come on! It's RAhway!
New route and train for me. Where are the switches for the Alerter/ACS/ACSES?
I would say, for AI traffic. People get a lot fussier when it's a train they can get in, because then they do notice the up-close details. (This...
It drives a few supplem,ental services on the Köln S19, which is in the game; but only a few. In the Rhein-Ruhr area they handle the S68, which...
I've never heard anything to suggest that HBL is bursting at the seams the way HMA is.
And EC and Railjet.
The Official Line is that DTG themselves are not doing anything with steam. However, some (who?) third parties have expressed an interest.
Also, full-body grime and fading EXCEPT the winged herald, which is bright and sparkly-new.
The 420 has been finished for a while now. Apparently the problem is the HMA route timetable- it's full. There's no room to just add a 420 layer,...
Now , if only they would address the issues with the 187, Cane Creek and Horseshoe Curve......
Not really. On a route like, say, GWE, the freight services are all exactly the same, Reading to Acton Yard or Acton Yard to Reading. MSB,...
That's a LOT of service variety. I think all other routes pale in comparison.
The blue HST is gone. That I think though had to do with the LD upgrade, which basically involved rebuilding the 43's 3D model
