I agree this thread may be a bit over the top but I have not found Synthetic angel to be rude to anyone certainly on this thread. But we do have...
The left gauge red arrow is the main reservoir. It should always remain at 140psi unless the engine has shutdown OR main compressor not running OR...
You need to put it into SERVICE, let some of the brakes come on and then put it back to ‘LAP’ to maintain that braking force. That’s the simplest...
1. 80 miles per hour not kmh (80mph is about 130kmh) 2. I’m assuming you mean 2000 metres (1.25 miles) from station? If so, depends on many...
[ATTACH] I am not sure which locomotive/driving cab you are on, this is the F40 locomotive- I’ve circled it in yellow. The cab car has something...
That should be easy to resolve. If you did the tutorial, it goes through the process to reset the system after an emergency brake application. You...
Did you remember to move the Control and Pump switch up? This allows the engine to start up.
As I’ve said here before, the HST has been implemented poorly. The brake release/recharging of the brake pipe is almost instantaneous in the game...
Yes I’m pretty sure you can, trip the auxiliaries. Press the button for 5 seconds.
[ATTACH] Left side of main desk labelled “Depot Whistle”
No, if it was stabled at a depot for a length of time, you would trip the auxiliaries which turn the lights off.
Aah, it took me a while to understand but I think I’ve got it. Assuming you mean lapping when you said Neutral. It’s a bit of a difficult concept...
Like I said at the start, it’s like the latter (“you are commanding the engine from the back of the train”) The cab car is essentially a DVT so...
More like the latter. Locomotive at one end and a Driving Van Trailer (DVT) at the other end so you are able to operate the train at both ends. In...
Thanks for that, very helpful. A few minor comments/pedantic comments regarding British signalling: 1. PRIs are not only for splitting distant...
The only time I could see the whistle instead of the horn being used on the Class 377 is in a depot. E.g. Whenever you start moving in a depot or...
There is a freight depot at Daventry just North of Northampton between Northampton and Rugby. Northbound Freight services head towards Rugby and...
Could you please link the stream if possible as I’m very curious? Thanks
I definitely agree the turbo and Great Western route needs to be updated and the East Coastway/Electrostar has a much better feel to it. To be...
There are no turbos on the East Coastway just the Electrostar (Class 377). The handling of the electrostar is very similar to the turbo as they...
It’s very hard to say but if you were able to get brakes fully released, this would rule out so many possibilities. So it’s got to be a problem...
Do you have a video? Otherwise, do you know exactly what the problem is? Does the engine(s) shunt down? Can you not release the brakes? Is power...
Yes in a 1-2 years when the Class 800s arrive.
Why can’t we have both? 387s didn’t all turn up at once and all turbos scrapped within a day. Even to this day, 3.5 years after 387s were first...
I’m inclined to agree with stujoy. The three lines from the left to right are Up Goods 1 (UG1), Down Main (DM) and Up Main (UM). The other 2 good...
I’ll have to ask someone who signs electrostars because I’m not convinced by that explanation to be honest. If anything, lighting is less involved...
Have you been able to find a button for instrument lighting?
That’s not correct. There are plenty of modern units which don’t have an option to switch on/off passenger lights. Personally, I think it’s...
As far as I know, on the East Coastway and Great Western Railway, there is no wheelslip or wheelslide as the train accelerates and brakes exactly...
As Bkulesza says, you didn’t secure your train correctly. As soon as interlock was achieved when you closed the faulty door, the brakes released...
To be honest, they are not used for loco-hauled trains simply because, well, there are no loco hauled services out of Paddington apart from the...
I think if and when they make the GSMR radio functional, it will be so that you are able to register your headcode and that’s it. If they want to...
I know I might come across as a miserable old bag (or snowman) in some threads but as I said before and I’ll say it again, I’ll give credit where...
Sorry, I’m not understanding. I’m trying it right now and I cannot get the cab light to come on using the button near the left hand door release...
If they can’t get flashing yellows to work, they should just use the approach release method everywhere so that it only clears once you’re...
Sorry, but that doesn’t make sense. If they didn’t have any flashing yellows at all or if there was a software issue (e.g. signals going blank)...
Thanks everyone for the replies. One thing I neglected in my original post is non-UK routes and as a player/driver in the UK, I am biased in the...
I’ve checked it myself and yes, you are unable to sit in the driver’s seat or secondman’s seat. Guess that’s what they mean by, “For the purpose...
Hi, some good suggestions. Point 2: That’s not actually correct and the button is not needed to move the controller at all. It is a hill start...
Obviously, you play or enjoy the game how you want but if you want to make it as realistic as possible, you may follow the below instructions....
I’m checked myself. There are 3 cab light buttons: 1. On the ground near the external cab door on driver’s side. WORKS 2. On the ground near the...
Oh ok, I see what you mean (4:14:50 in video). I can only speak for the UK so hopefully you’ll find this at least interesting if not helpful. In...
Thanks a lot for the kind words, it is nice to know people appreciate it. I have continued this discussion on a new thread as I didn't want to...
Olaf, Could any of this training be added to TSW routes. The current "training" modules have always struck me as extremely elementary: not even...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] First image is the flashing yellow (can’t see it flashing on the image obviously) and the second signal is the junction signal...
Ive had a look at it myself and this is truly shocking. I was going to post the details on this thread but thought it deserved a thread of its...
Thanks to Rob39 for mentioning the flashing yellow sequence on the approach to Newhaven junction which takes you to a siding. On the approach to...
A red signal with a junction indicator... oh dear. That’s impossible in real life unless it’s a serious signalling fault in which case it needs...
Apologies as I might not be understanding correctly but it sounds like you got the following: 1 flashing yellow followed by steady red with...
Plenty of the old locomotives don’t have DRA fitted such as Class 66s. When East Coast (Virgin Trains East Coast at the time) hired in the class...
