OMG you waited two hours at Acton Main Line?!! You really like AML don't you? https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/acton-main-line.16959/
I terminated the service. The 47 is unusable on heavy freight on the Xbox at least.
Approaching Standedge at 9.6 mph, 6,000 Amps. All brakes off.
Approaching Greenfield at 14 mph 4,150 Amps. All brakes off.
It dropped to 11 mph at one point after Mossley and pulling 4,800 Amps. Double checked brakes are off.
Running the 6E36 now. Double checked all brakes are off including handbrake. Brake cylinder gauge is at zero pressure. Brake pipe pressure is 5...
Those are likely to be the ones stopping at AML. I think there may be more missing on Xbox than that though.
Don't think all those services are on Xbox. The console crowd are second class citizens.
I thought it might be brakes but kept checking the pressures and all looked good. And it was picking up speed quite easily on the downhill...
It shouldn't, but maybe it's platform related. I don't get the performance you get. Nowhere near.
Your speeds don't look too bad. I got 43, 50, 53 respectively. Are you on an Xbox?
They were all the same. 8 coach passenger runs.
It would be good if there were some historical records of 47/45/40 speeds across this route. Had a search but couldn't find any.
I've not dared try the 47 on tanks yet. It seems the 47 is more like a 31.
I think the 101 is faster.
There's definitely something wrong with it. Thread here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/class-47-ntp-route-slow.16822/#post-83349
Yes, shutting the throttle down can cause a very abrupt loss of engine sound. Not the run down you'd expect.
The results are in. All runs done in either Autumn or Summer. Dry and during the day. On an Xbox One X. In acending order of class (40/45/47)...
You say you aren't surprised, so it's wishful thinking to expect route fixes with DLC especially when no such claim about fixes has been made by...
I think there are too many bugs in TSW as a whole. Having said that, I still enjoy it and prefer it exists than not. It seems to be a case of...
It sounds like there was an expectation that the DLC would fix everything with NEC, but has that ever been claimed by DTG?
I've started a speed comparison test between the 47/45/40 on passenger runs. From the 15 mph limit at Stalybridge up to Standedge and from the 15...
They may be fixed but if so, I wouldn't expect them both to be fixed. I just don't think they are working.
Yes, but in reality you wouldn't be requesting to pass a signal at danger, you'd be asking the signalman to provide a path and a proceed with...
It's certainly not short of virtual Amps, so not sure where they are going. Not to the virtual traction motors it seems.
The Class 40 easily outperforms the 47 on NTP. Definitely something wrong. The 47 should be the pick of the three locomotives.
I've noticed the Dewsbury distant signals. There's a single distant that seems to show caution when the next home is clear and the distant on the...
Sound problem is the same on Xbox.
225 never caught on in my experience. Always a 91.
Yes, Flying Bananas was a western region thing for obvious reasons. I heard "Trams" a lot from Northern spotters.
Agreed. They are Class 253/254 DEMUs, HSTs, 125s or Trams.
I note that passing loops don't appear to be used on the routes. Examples are loops at Iver and Southall on GWE and Marsden on NTP. I think it...
Maybe suggest a route with the units you have in mind?
The air gauges will be reading brake pipe pressure in psi. Fully released is 72.5 psi. A one bar reduction is equivalent to 15 psi drop...
Think you might need a route first?
Just need a split-box 40 now. There were also some with a centre box with square corners but maybe I should let that one slide.
The 47 would also probably need a cab/shore radio aerial fitted on the roof below the horn grilles for 1989.
I usually go to make a cup of tea, do some chores or write annoying messages on here.
Come on. DTG are big boys. They chose the market and they knew the market would be meticulous. It's the nature of the beast. I'm sure they can...
From my experience, train and plane people are details people. Probably on the spectrum. And I include myself in that. So I do understand where...
The 40s do sound very good. Love how they erupt into life. I'm rarely out of notch 10. :o
Looks like we might have a problem then. One for DTG!
So took charge of the heavy tanks and both engines were running when I started but using the camera shortly after departure I noticed zero exhaust...
They were commonly banked up MP.
Only 37/0s existed in 1983. 37s would have been common at Healey Mills and no doubt were used over the route for freight.
Must be Bescot machines.
I love the tube for its history and architecture but I find the trains probably the least interesting thing about the network. This is coming from...
I'd certainly like more freight, shunting and loading/unloading scenarios. Acton and Southall yards need to be busier. A 59 wouldn't go amiss!
When people use terms like "pissed off" it sounds like people are mad about it. I'd say some people need to get a grip....or get Twitter.
Not fussed about it personally. Would have found out about cost eventually anyway. Seems many here simply can't wait and want all the information...
Separate names with a comma.
