Matt, there is also the whole world of vintage- which might tie together, since the shortlines tend to use old (often very old) equipment. Access...
Good, smaller tourist crowds for the rest of us :cool:
Heck, I'd be happy with just a modern freight engine other than a 66.
Ouch!
BRO
Well, actually only 5 of the 314s ever got that livery. The rest kept their blood-and-custard all the way to the knackers.
It seems for GCC there is a choice: either the 385 OR the 158. Can't have both, so which is it?
I'm seeing a lot of wishlist proposals which go way, way beyond the mere facelift WSR got.
The first class IC coaches presently in game are Avmz compartment coaches (DB Avmmz 106). Apmz would be open-salon coaches. (Incidentally, the...
German trains use a more sophisticated system (before we even get to epü). The biggest difference is that German brakes can be partially released....
Ah. The brake pipe is already empty (consequence of the pipe being disconnected and the valve left open). What is leaking there is the air in the...
Alright: the brake cylinders do fill to apply pressure; but they fill based on a reduction in pressure in the brake pipe (the cylinder air is...
I would put it differently: outside of major cities in the US, public transit has wings. ------------------------------- There are a few places...
Few things are as fun as '70s garage punk
Series X displays in full 4k
I wouldn't be so sure. SEHS launched with 375s acting as placeholders for the 465 layer, providing extra traffic while waiting for the "real"...
Well, Dresden isn't. And Hamburg isn't bad.
I wonder, though: will Wiener Neustadt have anything close to the real-life 700 trains per day that pass through there?
About 137-138
No explanation I can figure out, it isn't a PZB Zwansbremsung-- but first I lose all poewer, then the brakes slam on. What's going on?
Um, except for Cathcart all the Scottish content is Rivet, not DTG.
I think Cajon Pass with a scenery upgrade and improved timetable could be a pretty good route. The problems with HSC and SHH go far, far beyond...
I don't think Bremen-Oldenburg gets enough credit as a very nicely polished route, even if a trifle short. The scenery and modeling are really...
But at that point you're going well, well beyond "the WSR treatment." What that amounts to is scenery improvements, TOD-4 lighting and an...
DTG has never done animations of passengers sitting down or standing up. Instead, they walk into the train doors and teleport into their seats
Weight alone doesn't tell you much. The usual measure is weight over distance, i.e. ton-miles or tonne-kilometers. In the US rail accounts for 40%...
Believe me, there is nothing overpowered about a Gronk hauling five Mk 1s up a 1+% grade and trying to keep to a schedule. The 20 doesn't have an...
That's excessively hard on Bernina, which is actually very good. Just half the oute, but aside from that very well done. Even the train physics...
The "new Acela" (Avelia Liberty) isn't even in service yet.
There is an issue, though: all existing 101/IC services currently in the game are designed with loco-first trains, so there would be nothing for...
Sure looks like one to me: [IMG]
Yep. First Group don't own the sunlight, grass or trees.
West Somerset, after the upgrade, is absolutely gorgeous. Of course if you don't like vintage trains then it isn't the sort of thing you would...
I think the Dosto cab car is the one that causes the perceived problem, since its track noises etc are too quiet or not there at all. Other cab...
Especially if it can also sub into shunting services, since the V 100/211 was built as a DP loco
The IRs were plenty popular, and that was the problem. DBFV believed they were cutting into pricier IC/ICE ticket sales.
That's entirely possible; my German is only about the order-in-a-restaurant level. Looking again, it seems that the first batch had Fiat bogies...
Following this down the rabbit hole, it seems that by the time the Nachfolgenserie Z-Wagen were procured, the Minden-Deutz 52 bogie was available,...
It seems the Avmmz 106 and Bpmmz 284 are definitely different mechanically. The former, originally Avmz 207, were stock UIC-Z Eurofima wagons....
Probably because Clinchfield soured them on vintage. It may just be that the success of BPO will cause a reassessment.
Straightforward approach: add it to the 101 DLC. 101 owners get it free, new buyers get both. Increased sales of the 101 should pay for the...
Given the stuff DTG has already made, and the licenses subsumed (several already used) under UP, CSX, NS and BNSF, there should be little problem...
In general, DTG have almost always included cab cars with locos that run with them (146, 143, 110, FP-40 (both versions), Baby Bullet, Metroliner...
Basically the RHTT and ROG services
The 232s (C4ümg-54) were built as 3rd class coaches; when DB abolished 3rd class they were simply redesignated 2nd. A pretty nasty ride.
Exactly. The IRs were run by DB Fernverkehr, but they rather cynically decided to shut them down and hopefully sell more IC/ICE tickets. The...
That was a test locomotive operated by DB Systemtechnik. They hadn't been in revenue service for some time before that.
SEHS was built from the start with a layer provided for the 465 services (covered by 375s in the original release). The 700s were anticipated in...
The thing is, the route is modern, and the 120s are all retired.
Yes. The IC launched in 1971 based on the success of DB's TEE services; the idea was to make a domestic luxury-express version of the...
