Hi all, I've noticed that the coach numbers on the KWG ICE 3 in my timetables are... weird. From the first class end, there are coaches 51, 50,...
New Year, New Start! I've been thinking about the timetable quite a bit over the holiday season and am ready to get back into it. Starting over...
I'm thinking of it the other way round: the timetable has to work with every single train enabled, and I can then turn some of them off for...
You mean go Riesa - Röderau - Niederau? I see. Would be cool, but for some reason theres a "you have reached the end of the map" thing that kicks...
I don't think Niederau is used for anything (other than as a 143 graveyard) these days, sadly. That's a fun idea! Taking a 363 out there over...
We don't know why it happened yet as the investigation hasn't concluded yet.
It doesn't though. I'll be waiting for the accident investigation report to find out what went wrong there. Stopping a train somewhere along its...
Please elaborate on how blocking a switch might in your opinion be able to cause a crash.
Those sleepers are looking awesome! Is the ballast that much wider than the sleepers in real life though or are you still tweaking that?
Yes it does. Very rarely these days, but occasionally it still happens. A Kleinlok may be operated by "Kleinlokführer", but it doesn't need to...
100% agree, I'm planning to add that information to the service descriptions so you'll be able to see this straight from the main menu. That'll...
Track 2 is the one the S-Bahn uses. I might be able to hide one out of sight on the through track beyond the station? No promises though, I'll...
I wish I could do that, but sadly there isn't a portal beyond Meißen... I am planning to make the Nünchritz chemical works runs more interesting...
Hi all, I'm starting to think about freight trains for my DRA timetable in a bit more detail. I've got some ideas for improvements over the...
Looking good! The overgrown platform in the first picture is very cool.
You cannot have trains from different seasonal layers conflict with one another in this way. Even if a seasonal layer only shows up in the...
I'd have liked to get the S-Bahn done before New Year's, but I'm afraid that won't be possible. I've tried, but sadly the Editor has "gently"...
Exactly, yeah.
Add a white dependency line from the end of the one service to the start of the other.
All good, I'm always happy to hear people are interested in what I'm doing. Merry Christmas to you as well!
I've been spending a lot of time in Railroader since that released, and am taking a little break over Christmas, but I'm going to get back to this...
Some 143s had KWS and could therefore be operated from "Karlsruher Kopf" n-Wagen cab cars using the exact same notch up/down controls as on a 110....
The cab car needs to be there because it has a wheelchair ramp, accessible toilet, and space for bicycles.
Automatic points will require a signal somewhere between the start of the path and the points. Otherwise they won't do anything. Without any more...
Yes, that is what I've been saying from the start.
Yeah but Salzburg-Rosenheim is a brand new route. It's going to be TOD4.
Proper TOD4 support. The only ones that have been adapted are the VVO ones. Probably some Bahnland Bayern stickers too.
It's complicated. I think a full explanation of this is probably out of the scope of this thread. However, the way train moves are run past them...
Thanks Rob, I appreciate that!
There must be a way to make shunt signals change aspect for train movements as that's how the German protection signals behave in the sim.
I'm getting Bodensee vibes too. However, if he is indeed Bodensee, this is unnecessarily feeding the troll. If he isn't, it's just rude and...
A bit of both, depending on which country you're in, when the signalling was installed, etc. In Germany, interlocking will prevent two trains...
You could technically create a lot of dependencies between the trains in the timetable to make sure a train going one way only tries to reserve a...
Have you set up the settings under "timetable defaults" correctly? You will need to tell the timetable what route it is for - if opening the map...
Sounds like maybe you don't have the route itself open?
Don't think so. If I were DTG, I wouldn't release a German route (which even crosses into Austria!) and an Austrian one immediately after one...
No, the month counts are from the month in which the road map comes out. If it were counted from TSW4 launch onwards, the 0-3 month category would...
Yes it has. It shows siding and platform markers in orange and light blue, respectively.
Hi all, I'm looking for help figuring out some strange dispatcher behaviours. Short version: A "Go To" and a "Go Via" instruction (both with...
That's like saying train drivers should be paid less; after all, people volunteer without pay at heritage railways!
And as someone making a timetable, I can tell you it takes skills and *a lot* of work. People are making free timetables because they enjoy doing...
Exactly. You can add "virtual destinations" on leave/enter portal nodes for off-world origin/destination stations.
There are TSW4 regional packs that don't include ECML, and the pack will need to work in future versions of the game that don't have ECML.
Yeah, I do understand that. In fact, that's the whole point I was making. The wagon DLC includes formations using the wagons, and these formations...
The whole reason why the pack needs to include a loco is because it isn't tied to any specific route. If it was tied to a route, it could simply...
I'm going to do "VVO-Dieselnetz" to allow a bit more precision.
[ATTACH] Oh boy, the editor really bogs down when you're pasting six hours' worth of S-Bahn services at the same time. All the services are there...
I finally found some time to do timetable work today, so I made a brand-new template for my S-Bahn services: [ATTACH] This template represents...
Yeah, but if we've already got instructions and tutorials that are of high enough quality for the bot to "learn" anything useful from them, then...
Hi all, between Maintalbahn and the US freight vs. passenger discussions going on, it seems like there has been a lot of talk about branch lines,...
Separate names with a comma.
