Not all that absurd; many heritage railways run a full-size "Thomas" mocked up from a Jinty or something similar. Face and all. Good moneymaker...
IIRC, Awdry pere or fils made a Sodor map
Don't have MBTA Commuter, but since it uses the same cab car model I venture it has the problem as well Yes, but it takes a schedule-wrecking...
CTC cab car (MBTA)- ACS/ACSES box does not update graphically (workaround is to change cameras and come back, but that's hugely inconvenient and...
I believe Matt was referring to the fact that part of the RhB runs through the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland
And, strangely, after I completed it successfully in timetable, I ran it again in journey and had no problems. Random glitch?
Brakes were not an issue, problem was very limited power ________________________________________ All right- the mystery deepens. Tried it again,...
Not just the ATC/ACSES box, either. There is still a lack of power, and the unavoidable derailment northbound from Stoughton DTG, this route has...
Total confusion! #916, Stoughton-Boston 1) Derailment for no reason out of nowhere, about 2.2 miles this side of Canton. WTF? Completely...
Even weirder, the brakes work fine on the Training Center. But on the actual FF line, they are effectively not there, except in full emergency.
Can't find a switch for the taillights, when running cabcar first. Help! (The marker light switch, that on the Caltrain F40 activates them, here...
It's important to realize when discussing rolling stock on the Mittenwaldbahn is that it has always been a sideshow line, dedicated to local...
AFB, on the 146 like all reasonably modern DB locos/MUs, is designed to automatically apply a small amount of brake whenever the train is stopped-...
I'm on PC
Especially since DTG apparently also have a good relationship with Siemens
114 miles- longish but not out of bounds
I agree- but I think there might be economic merit in doing an Amtrak loco DLC, that slots onto existing US routes. A Genesis with Superliner...
The brakes on the 114 are COMPLETELY LOVED!!!! They wouldn't stop a go-kart in a mile and a half, uphill. Shame on DTG for releasing a totally...
If they do Italy, I would like to see the Brenner Pass (this also would help with new-country rolling stock issues, since Austrian assets and ICEs...
It's a "best practice" which amounts to a rule- it's how all drivers are trained - to allow for speedometer error up to +/- 5 km/h
The CityBahn > Stadt Express was an anomaly, that only really existed in the Rhein-Main transit region. It lasted as late as 2016
The Bundesbahn service categories were (in ascending order) S-Bahn, Nahverkehr (local service), Eilzug ("through" train), Schnellzug (express...
Then I hope you have a lot of patience and plenty of time. Or at least set a practical deadline, like the second coming of Elvis.
Is the vigilance system on the 87 prototypical? On every other British loco in TSW, the alerter is interlocked with the driving controls, so that...
LeFt Rhine. DTG's call, go figure.
To which I would add, the 204 (DR V100) would have no use on the older Bundesbahn routes that are starting to appear in TSW
Acknowlede alarm (brake demand light should change from flashing to steady) Reverser to Neutral PBC can be in Off or any brake setting, but not in...
Maybe, by not throwing tantrums whenever a train with synthesized sounds is released?
Yeah, but I'm not a fan of cross-era anachronism routes. Despite it having been practically given away in various sales, I have never bought DLGW...
Yeah, because those companies would never release buggy software........
Agreed- backdate the ECML route to the 60s, extend it to York (heck, also add the branch to Leeds for variety), and include a Deltic together with...
That isn't absolutely true. Christopher Awdry still owns the Thomas books. What Allcroft > Gullane > HiT > Mattel own are the media adaptation rights.
I don’t think the analogy is quite on. Say rather that that last chocolste is a really big one, but it’s coconut- and you hate coconut
Yeah, but we’ll forgive you for that
Somwhere on these boards
Completely new topic: Since this DLC will be "story driven", could that mean we get voiced dialogue for the first time, rather than just reading...

Are there any other reqirements, such as putting the reverser in Neutral or the controller handle in Full Service or Emergency? Or do you just hit...
Gordon is a Gresley A1 rebuilt to an A3. Pecy is an Avonside 0-4-0ST, so much smaller, about half the weight, than Thomas (an LB&SCR E2)
I have deleted the post and I apologize. I got a burr under my saddle and let off a snorter without thinking, which is most unlike me. I do get...
This is a case where an Antipodean third party partner would be crucial, because sending research teams to the other side of the world would be...
Matt, of course
Separate names with a comma.
