Hi I thought I'd try this service with the F7, to start off the Mastery challenge of loading 60 coal wagons. The loading is in two parts. The...
I noticed that too. On my RD the normal release position bails-off, and bail-off itself does nothing. Works fine on other locos so seems to be CRR...
I've noticed that on the keyboard the Rear Horn is mapped to the N key (usually the low tone), but on the RD the low horn switch doesn't activate...
Ink replaced - reprinted :D
To me, the F7 front horn and rear horn sound exactly the same, from both inside and outside the cab. Even if they are the same horn type,...
That's good enough for me. Now pre-ordered, with fingers crossed on that 'should' :)
I completely agree. 101 / RD on a stopping service is so immersive. For me, it's even more so than PZB/SIFA for keeping you on your toes!
Eminently possible. I did the same thing a few weeks ago using the instructions at...
Superb tip, thanks! I've been driving SKA today and would have found that helpful. Now printed out ready for next weekend :)
Regen braking for electric trains was invented in 1886, according to Wikipedia. In the UK it was installed on the MSW route (Woodhead line) when...
No, it is not. British Rail, for instance, invented solid state interlocking (now computer based interlocking) in the 1980s, as a result of a...
More generally, when I used to regularly cab ride on the Great Eastern in the 80s and 90s, double yellows were more or less treated as greens!...
Medium to long term, yes. Network Rail's signalling strategy is to upgrade busier main lines to ETCS (European Train Control System). The southern...
So Clinchfield is now on pre-order. Do we know whether it will have RD support? Or are we still waiting to find out?
I must have been lucky, as I set mine to 3mph (which gave me 2.6mph) and I filled up in the one pass. Just!
Good tip, and yes that's exactly what I did when I drove the route in the sim.
... I refer you to my avatar :cool:
Ah right, that was before I'd got / played SPG so I didn't know that was what used to happen.
I agree. There's much more to the world of railways than Europe and North America. I enjoy those as much as the next person, but would also like...
Thanks for the replies. I can see that either makes sense; I just couldn't see how what the sim did (nobody at the front) could work in real life.
Hi Just finished U877-A on Sand Patch Grade, which is coal empties from Cumberland to Shaw Mine, reversing at Salisbury Junction. I chose the...
I'm minded to agree. RD support was one of the main reasons I switched to TSW2 once it was available. I can't unbuy Arosa as I pre-ordered it, but...
Oh well, it was worth a try. How about trying release then apply then release again?
I did this other day. When I released the message didn't disappear, as you've foud, but it did when I also bailed off.
I had an Amstrad CPC464 back in the day; I know just what you mean!
On the outside, this is painted in the data table under the cab window.
That link worked fine for me. Reading material for when I finish work later!
Indeed
That's a great way of looking at things.
Ah, that explains why I can't get RD sound any more. I have a newish monitor with built-in sound that uses HDMI. When I got that I binned my PC...
It drives me up the wall than when it does clear it's the main arm that comes off instead of the calling-on arm.
So TSW2 is good for your health. DTG should market that! :D
I never really got on with the 101 on TVL, but watching Paul's video has inspired me to try again on DLGW with the label printout by my side....
