I heard, from a Geordie, that Jocks are just like Geordies, but with the brains knocked out. I'm sure you'd hear precisely the reverse from a Jock…

Obviously I'm thinking of when the war is over. Russia will still be a pariah state at that point (and decidedly unfriendly to the West), but...

I would suggest that a Ukrainian route would be a more realistic prospect. It's the same gauge, same signalling system, and much of the same...

The railtour special services are supposed to be seasonal, though that isn't described anywhere explicitly in-game. If you drive one of these...

Now that we have a section of the ECML, there is already at least some scope for Class 90 & 91, which are still in service and would fit right in...

Actually, it's precisely the approach-control functionality that is broken. This signal shows a normal single yellow aspect correctly. It's also...

I believe it's considered good practice to manually run down the power before the circuit breaker opens automatically, if only to minimise jerk...

The Liverpool to Man Vic line got a Pacer allocation for a while - a far cry from the present electrification scheme. Pacers had to absolutely...

Actually, that's a different mechanism - though with a similar effect. As the photo shows, a derailer is a device that sits on top of one of the...

The Pacer's exceedingly long rigid wheelbase meant it was a very poor fit for any line with a lot of sharp curves. It was rejected from the Conwy...

According to the video linked above, the message goes to all trains and the associated signalboxes for the cell you're in and all immediately...

Peering at the screenshot - yes, it is. The left-side messages on the right display say "2000Hz Beinflussung" and "Zwangsbremsung", the latter...

As noted above, it's the "panic everybody stop NOW" button. I can imagine it's more troublesome on a handheld unit than one fixed to the cab wall.

The UK version of the GSM-R terminal looks different, but it does essentially the same things. It's easy to identify by the large red and yellow...

I think it's been improved in the mid-range, and now the main trouble I notice is in the slow speed range, when the audio engine is supposed to be...

I don't actually think the passenger stop mechanic needs to be implemented, since you can just as easily make-believe while operating the doors as...

Sounds do appear to be different in the mid-speed range now. I wouldn't say that they're entirely glitch-free, but something has definitely been...

In the UK, ordinary coaching stock has - at most - the "UIC cable" which is primarily to carry and control the ETH supply from the locomotive to...

IMHO, if you go to the trouble of modelling in the level of detail TSW4 does, and advertise improved OHLE rendering as one of the key features,...

Something else I've been noticing is that the hanger orientation often doesn't match the zigzag. The registration arm must ALWAYS be in tension,...

The nearest passenger door is at the opposite end of a 26-metre carriage, and beyond at least two reasonably substantial doors on the internal...

Ah, I see it - the trailing pair of wheels, under the cab, ends up following the wrong path at the points. That's the bug. Granted, the physics...

The way it's supposed to work is that the driving wheels are more-or-less fixed in the frame (there's a little bit of side play, but nothing you...

The important measure is the rigid wheelbase, whereas most references quote the full wheelbase including tender (which is more relevant to fitting...

Confirmation from Google Street View - this is from Retford. [ATTACH]

On PC, I was able to play with the G6 already, and I'm reasonably sure I saw a BR101 going past as AI. I haven't looked for the BR204 yet.

I'm just a long-time train sim user. I also happen to be a Computer Systems Engineer, so my guesses as to what's going on inside the game tend to...

Don't complain to me, and don't complain to Skyhook. Complain to DTG. That's my point.

In the BR185, I seem to get credit for "Used Safety Systems" if I turn LZB on. The Talent doesn't have LZB, and the route doesn't use it anyway....

I think there has been a relevant update. Remember, Skyhook doesn't directly make the console ports of the route; DTG takes Skyhook's work and...

I doubt it, for two reasons: 1: It's oriented the wrong way. Aircraft are seen flying across the railway, not parallel to it. This is...

Yeah, that looks like a bug to me. Possibly the TSS grid at this signal is linked to the wrong signal.

My suggestion here would be to keep the wires reasonably thick (to avoid the flickering), but make them fade in colour into the distance. I think...

While playing around on ECML, I found that I couldn't raise the pantograph on a spawned 323, even after trying many different things to tickle the...

I've just set up a train on ECML with three waypoints (one at each of the intermediate stations) on the way from Doncaster to Peterborough. Since...

I tried this to check, and it seems that the AWS is in the alarm state when spawned as a Free Roam train, and vents both the air and vacuum pipes...

Can confirm this one (on PC). Started it, should have been on the footplate at Peterbrough, actually on foot at Retford. The objective message...

You encountered a Neutral Section, where the overhead power supply changes from one phase of the supply grid to another. After passing it, you'll...

On the British system, control magnets are provided either side of the neutral section to toggle the VCB automatically. You should see the line...

Yeah, it seems that there are a lot of problems with the AWS on this loco, which effectively render it almost nonfunctional. I don't think it can...

This seems to be the result of an exceedingly slack timetable. Such things are not unknown IRL, but in that case there would be a timing point a...

I expect that most trains directed into these loops would be approaching at less than line speed - eg. freight trains. However, I would accept a...

Good point - there is also a section of missing OHLE on the northbound approach to Doncaster Decoy Down Lincoln. This would probably be more...

The various Passenger Loops have 40mph entries, which are clearly intended to allow trains to run into them efficiently and clear the line...

I think - but haven't tested - that the AWS is connected only to the vacuum brakes. If so, it'll only do anything if you have the Small Ejector...

I think she could save some of the history for later in the trip, when there's otherwise not a whole lot going on. In the first few minutes of...

The recovery procedure is simple enough, and all the instructions you need are on-screen when the situation arises. The key to it all is the TPWS...

I identified the faulty level crossing I found as Maxey, just north of Helpston village, this being the point at which the Stamford line diverges...

A set of signalling problems I haven't seen mentioned in this thread, and which I've seen on PC/Steam: Flashing greens (and maybe flashing...
