The problem with a ‘cold start’ is to do it properly, you need so much more functionality most notably the TMS on modern units. For example,...
Jo_Kim A very good performance. Nice smooth stops and well controlled against the red signals hitting the start of the stations at 30-35mph which...
A common one is if you happen to be sitting near the front of the train and can hear the vigilance of the DSD go off, you will subconsciously move...
Yes, absolutely. On the subject of Intercity swallow livery, GWR painted one of their power cars in the Intercity swallow livery (43185) and one...
For those that don’t know, Paxman Valentas were the original engines fitted on HSTs. In the mid/late 2000s, approx 30 years after HSTs first...
The use of speed cameras depends on company. If it’s not agreed though, the union can get very annoyed about it. On the subject of Virgin Trains,...
Have you travelled on the London Underground? Particularly lines that are Automatic Train Operation (ATO) such as the Victoria Line, they...
No problem and looking forward to it :)
FD1003 Wow, another fantastic performance. I genuinely couldn’t have done better myself, absolutely superb stops. If you told me you drive them...
Wait, we can’t swear on this forum?! That completely ruins the immersion for me. How are we suppose to emulate the sophisticated and eloquent...
Generally speaking, TASS is fitted to the fast lines. So when you go over the first set of balises, you become speed supervised and you are now...
Ok, thanks for the reply anyway. Class 390s have TASS so I presume he was on non-Tass fitted lines such as the slow lines. That still surprises me...
Are you able to elaborate on this please? Are you able to share when/where this happened, how much the train was speeding by, was it...
Bryer Braking technique The most noticeable thing that you’re doing is finishing off in step 2/3. You want the final impact just before you...

Mr heff Green- positives Red- to work on Black- general comments Braking technique for the most part was good and definitely improved throughout...
Yes, trains have on train data recorders (OTDR or OTMR) which records almost everything a driver does. The OTDR light in the cab should light up...
Nice consistent brake force, not using more than 50% brake, and always finish off (final impact) using minimum braking. If it’s a 300 yard...
I’d be happy to see this but I wouldn’t be prepared to pay unless they gave something else. E.g. I think Class 165 would go well with branch lines...
I think somewhere like Crewe would be a good locations to have DLCs. The issue with London Euston/Kings Cross is to make the route meaningful, you...
Thanks, I was thinking of a HST :)
The brake test button in itself doesn’t perform a brake test but rather allows you to do one while parking brake is applied. (I’m not sure if you...
WCML Route [ATTACH] Traction Class 390 and 221 alongside each other [ATTACH] Class 390 cab [ATTACH] Class 221 cab [ATTACH] The...
These two seem to be the most wanted routes in the UK. To keep it simple, I’m going to compare them for InterCity/high speed services and in the...
No problem. The reasons for having 2 different modes is to do with operational reasons: 1. The higher the brake pipe pressure, the higher the...
That’s not correct. The brakes will work in passenger or freight mode. All it changes is the brake pipe pressure- 110 psi or 90 psi which is used...
There’s very little information online about this unfortunately but this is what I found: If you’re starting a train that is electrically dead...
Spot B and Spot Cab are for the five coach sets. Spot B 6 and Spot Cab 6 were introduced in 2015 for the longer six coach sets. The difference...
Brilliant, thanks. Is there anyway of removing the top left which displays time/next station? And removing the very top right which displays...
GWE. 2 traction that were unplayable. Class 166 with its appalling sounds or rather the lack of them. HST with its appalling physics. Both of...
Apart from TSW, the only other train simulator I’ve played is a really old version of Trainz. [ATTACH]
The first thing I thought when I saw your name was JD from Gears of War (Marcus Fenix’s son). You don’t happen to be a gears fan do you?
Multiplayer would add a whole new dynamic to the game. If there were big open servers such as 30 players in a lobby, you’ve got the opportunity to...
