Thanks for confirming, JD. Disappointing, but expected. I think I'll follow the advice of cwf.green and make more noise about it in the future :)...

Not much I can add that hasn’t been said already, but both are good and hold up. One thing in particular that always strikes me about both routes...

Only the alerter.

Some portion of the Milwaukee Road's electric routes. Probably never going to happen but I'd dearly love getting my hands on these old electric...

Quite often. As Calidore266 said, it’s not as often as Steam, but still often. A good chunk of my collection was bought in sales. If memory...

Depends on the loco. On older locos, you can theoretically do quite a bit on the move. On newer locos (especially 3-phase AC onwards), if it’s...

I see your point, but working compromises are already in the game. The perhaps “worst” examples are the 143 and 155, where the engine room is just...

Just gonna leave this here:...

The optimist in me hopes for a freight loco for LFR :) They? RSN is a route - Ruhr Sieg Nord.

What heresy is this? No no no, a 189 is not a multi-system 185. A 185 (and 186) is a multi-system version of a 185. A 189 is a completely...

Yes. If there’s a 1000Hz monitoring, you need to get below 55km/h, even if it was triggered by a speed restriction to 70km/h for example.

[ATTACH] 8 services Don’t know how they mesh with Metrolink services.

Just for anyone interested: We don’t have cantons in Germany - that’s a Swiss thing. We have Bundesländer (federal states). No harm done, just...

I hope they modelled it, but I’m sure they didn’t. Even then they’re slim. Quite a few of the switches on the back panel of TSW’s 185 are...

I’ve driven both 152s and 189s in real life (as well as 185s and 186s) and I can confirm that they’re both leaps and bounds ahead of TRAXXs. Much...

Sorry, I noticed that I didn’t quite quote you correctly. I was specifically referring to the building in LA thay you take issue with. Could you...

Thanks for this amazing run. It was worth it for the AI alone :) [SPOILER]

The route’s looking better than I expected. Initially, this was the route I was least excited for but it looks and sounds really well crafted....

While I haven’t formally joined your challenges, I was tempted to try my hand today. I know next to nothing about operating kettles but the...

I’m very sorry to hear about your loss. I’m wishing you all the best. Here’s to all the happy memories with our mums!

Maik did the sounds for the Talent 1. He said he simply wasn’t aware that the 377 sounds similar. That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if...

If ÖBB or other EVUs rent them out, it might be theoretically doable, but renting one would be extremely expensive. You’d probably also need to...

Funny anecdote. I avoid the save game like the plague. Then one time, I tried to do something similar to what you describe on Cajon. The one time...

Exactly. The same is true for a lot of modern 3-phase AC locos. The 185s we have in game are simplified in that regard to. There are various...

Me too. Fond memories of the Dash 9 in BNSF H2 scheme in MSTS.

I feel a bit embarrassed at this point seeing how it’s the third time (maybe third time’s the charm?) - what’s your source on this?

Oh please, count me in. A Br 151 loco DLC with a proper new timetable including new physics for freight cars would be fantastic. Mhm :love:

On a related note, I’ve had an interesting conversation with a train driver about something similar on the Br 141. Apparently, the driver’s brake...

Oh, yes. Recently, I’ve been thinking about re-installing TSW2020 just for a stint on the GP38-2 on the original NEC. The switching and local...

At least they seem to have finally learned that after the disaster that was the Rush Hour UI “up”grade. Agreed. White is a bit better but I have...

Now that they’re in the game, I think it’s time to add the neutral section between kilometres 71.4 and 71.6 south of Riesa.

Sorry to repeat myself - what’s your source on that?

Maik Goltz’s comment on the matter: It’s a compromise. On the one hand, I agree, but on the other, I’d rather have too much flange squeal than...

Good to see that the Vectron seems to be very well done. Sorry, but as soon as they said that we’ll have a look at the Vectron, I was a bit...

What’s your source on that?

A note on a realism. The almighty God of German rail simulation - Zusi - does in fact re-use unrealistic sound sets for quite a few locos. That’s...

Oh my. I’m assuming those sounds are the finished product?

You’re right. While Wikipedia doesn’t cite any sources for it, it says that MEG modified the 155s as discussed. Doesn’t say anything about PRESS,...

Ah, thanks for your input. Without looking into it, I’d have assumed it’s a 151 or 189 double header, but that’s just speculation. What a curious...

RSN is set quite a few years before Vectrons were a thing.

You sure about that? I’ve driven a 185.3 myself (not terribly long, but still) and the humming is definitely there and just as annoying in real...

Diesel-operated all the way. The timetable on LFR took a lot of liberties in that area. All of the traffic going on the Nahetalbahn (diverging...

Sherman Hill was what I was thinking about mostly. I suspected PTC is a complex beast even though I know next to nothing about it. But the cab...

It’s that time of the year again. I’ll go into town to get some popcorn. Should I get you anything?

It’s a great shame that US safety systems are not more of a priority. Such systems are essential features of a simulator to me. Yes, it’s a long...

That immediatly stuck out to me. I’m fairly certain this is the first time we’re getting a fully licensed loco - licensed by both the operator and...

I don’t use saves because of the issues they bring so I wouldn’t know about that. It’s still a driveable loco with acceptable physics and sounds,...

The trusty 151 is what’s missing! :)

It is. In fact, I’d argue DRA is one of the best routes to run her on. Fantastic loco and certainly one of the best locos in TSW.
