a.paice says it better than I did but yeah, there were some cases of "Starting against a red signal" and SPADding in the late '90s, so they...
OFF meant the next signal was a proceed, ON meant it was red. There was also the "RA" light, which meant "Right Away", an old term for "OK to...
I appreciate your knowledge bro. Hopefully, DTG can show Rivet how they do the trees sometime soon!
I have to say that there will always be a demand for keen individuals to apply for driving jobs. Just never come across as "that guy" who knows it...
What is the scenery like from the driving position? As a train sim, I want to drive the train and get the feeling of doing so on differing...
Carnforth bookshop used to have drawers full of old WTTs and other ephemerides, plus many railway books. Well worth a look, I spent many a happy...
Hmm, did you have the red one when you pulled your Mrs?....:D
No, but to touch the controls of a live service with passengers on board...you do. THAT is the point, and a good reason to leave it here.
I know you play trains on your computer but don't kid yourself, you are not "competent". If what you say is true, and the Scotrail driver...
Is this a joke? If not, I would never mention this incident to anyone. let alone on a public forum. It will mean the instant dismissal of the...
[MEDIA] GWR loco powered by John Deacon's bass, and correct colour ballast applied!
I'm in too. Plus the mods are looking to be a great addition, no OHL, "wooden sleepers", and a good effort at the signage.
Yes, and we know the manuals leave a lot to be desired in the details.
IRL, the brake valve should be held in "Overcharge" for 60 seconds, and then not touched again for 4 minutes, until the brake pipe reads 72.5...
More images on reddit today...getting close to a demo?...
Even though 40% of posts in these @#$kin& forums are utter bol$#@ks.
And people doing "DTG xxx" on Discord is the reason they don't bother with that anymore. Don't do it here. They know how to do their jobs,...
Does it really matter? Drive the train...
It is also worth noting that a train headlight isn't there to enable the driver to see what's ahead, just for anyone else to see the train coming.
Yes, WTF DTG!!! :D
This positivity has to stop zeros_is_great and rpb1966, keep it real....;)
You hit the nail on the head there stujoy! Negotiating a downhill run on Shap and Beattock, on a freight train with the next passenger up your...
A long heavy train over Sand Patch shouldn't even react to a loco brake application...apart from wheel flats, and nothing else but a strong smell...
In the UK, there are no mountain passes or vast, sweeping plains, and so no need for dynamic braking. The two longest and steepest grades I worked...
I refer you to my previous answer, I also have experience working 20, 31, 37, 47 etc for BR and latter, EWS.
All good if you have dynamic brake to start with. UK locos didn't have it until very recently!
In the UK, we never used the loco brake alone for controlling train speed on a downhill section, a big no! (Unless light engine). The possibility...
If those dropped leaves made a difference to adhesion in differing weather, then it would be worthwhile. Winter is good for drivers as the misty,...

Derail Valley, so much fun.
I believe the low FPS is due to this being run from the Unreal Editor. It will be normal when all baked and on your machine.
The new one may well be reworked, tba... The new one does have the option to select each of the 74 individual examples though.
Man, for all it's foibles, the game engine does a bloomin' nice job on a loco! That looks fantastic.
Nostalgia is a funny thing, I "miss" the Thumpers, even though they were common at the time. With sounds as they are in the game engine, not sure...
My time in Eve Online was measured in years rather than hours (rage quit forever for the 5th time..) as can be said by others in regards to Elder...
[ATTACH] You can almost feel the heat coming from the firebox though...or was that the heat from the Spectrum?
It would, but we are held back by other tech...
Hmm, I think even the most fervent sperg lords in here would see that a static background is no comparison in any genre. It is an absolute truth...
So it is harder than it looks then londonmidland? Nice effort but perhaps don't be so hasty on the "insta-hate" in future?
Nice IC Swallow avatar! Man, I miss the old times.. Sound like my Dad :(
The Diablo 2 remake looks amazing, new gfx without blowing the whole feel of the game. [MEDIA] Diablo 2 is another for my long play list! I had...
Hmm, I suppose you already knew the answer to your question?
Google translate for you @zawal.belili - " In any case I want the US route more than anything and having already had the Arosa "on TS I already...
Yes, all to do with DX12 and optimization. Doesn't matter if you run the game off an M.2 or SSD, the same stutter appears. Many new games are...
Ballast looks too pink, WTF DTG!! :)
That's dedication!
I have just stopped dipping back into EVE, the daily rewards and free skill points CCP throws around makes it seem like they are desperate for...
Yay, Skool Daze was bloody frustrating lol. Never finished it! I am triggered by the wrong ballast colour in Victoria Station on Southern Belle...
Good call!
This thread is about those games which have defined your love of gaming, (and probably many like-minded people too) and you want to share the...
