That's a derailer. It's there to stop a train or runaway cut before it can cause a collision.
The issue there is not the noise of air conditioning - which is pretty minimal, usually nonexistent, except when you first get in the car on a...
On a Robin, the missing wheel is a design feature. ;) [IMG]
That's a low blow. The Sicilian Mafia looks down on EA's morals.
The Silberlinge were really uncomfortable over any distance. Even DB realized this (this is back in my day, ca 1970)- if there weren't enough...
A big gap in passenger rolling stock that DTG are going to have to address is the lack of any form of m-Wagen, which were the backbone of the...
Ah, ok. I see. Yes, the D code was retained for night trains, long after the original D-Züge had stopped running. Interestingly, the Amstelland...
The point is to ride on an old retired train, which is not an everyday opportunity
The 103 was never equipped to work with a cab car. It was built for the TEE, which was by definition international, and in most cases there would...
The "middle tier" of DB services has always been sort of the odd child. The RBs and REs and their predecessors have always been straightforward,...
I would observe that hot box detectors would not be present at all had the RR not voluntarily placed them; no regulation to date mandates them.
Or head out left, in British trains ;)
The Durchgangszüge were never ICs. They weren‘t even F-Züge. They were in fact the predecessors of the Interregios, although they overlapped as...
And Sanders is just hobbyhorsing his obsession with Precision Scheduled Railroading, which had zero-point-nought to do with this accident. more...
Which is kind of ridiculous; the surviving 110s never do anything but railtours any more.
Which is wrong: VV Köln uses 423s, not 422s (a mistake the NJP corrected). However, the 422s also (correctly) layer into HRR, making that route...
If DTG take the 103 back into the Bundesbahn era, I'm sure it will be as a TEE with all the appropriate (new) coaches.
Although on very, very rare occasions the 103 might be pressed into freight service - because nothing else was available - it was like harnessing...
They were originally built in the late 1970s, so they're just a facelift away.
Um, the Kassel route was only released six months ago
The 120s (and new 101s) were in the first instance displacing 103s on IC services; the aging 103s tended to get the IRs, because it didn't strain...
Precious little. It only exists when the Brighton station tile is loaded - which means never at the same time as a 700.
That would explain the use of the old DB logo in gray
OK, now I am really bemused. Of the 17 103s still in existence, not one has aprons. Is it possible that instead of an actual loco, DTG worked...
I do wish they could figure out and fix whatever causes the brutal framerate drop around Croydon
Since it can't go anywhere, the dispatcher ignores it, just like the static wagons sitting on sidings
There is one new freight wagon, and passenger coaches so heavily altered as to be practically new ones.
Fair enough
Yes, but by 1997 both the observation cars and the TEE itself were long gone.
In 1991 the system on a branch line would be Indusi 60 or I 60R. I 60R was identical to PZB 90 except without restrictive modes.* I 60 was...
Um, no. The Maybach GTO 6 generated 480 kW at 1400 rpm. The Cat 3412E generates 540 kW at 1800 rpm.
The observation cars only ever ran on the Rheingold and Rheinpfeil; other TEEs didn't have them.
That I think misrepresents what was said. Matt was describing the process of timetable building, where you add a handful of services, not too...
The 09 isn’t a layer, it’s a static asset and puts no load on the dispatcher
That's four - the bundle is "in the works" - and three of the four are third-party. Only one DTG route.
That's hardly a mainline. Or a Class 1 RR.
Compare the miles of track and ton-miles of freight between North America and Europe. It's like observing that Germany has more auto crashes than...
I am getting more and more mystified as to what DTG's model was. Lamplight appears to be correct- aside from the prototype 002, none of those...
[IMG] Of course, this one obviously was not what DTG copied!
IIRC, the 110, at least when built did not have a bus bar (HEP) to provide juice to the coaches- notice that the included n-Wagen are of the ABnr...
US track is also on average built from much sturdier rail; mainlines are 132 lb/yd (65 kg/m) or heavier
Neither one existed in the 1990s, except as museum/railtour trains.
Yes, but those were the prototypes, and they often have old-style or nonstandard paint. The prototype n-Wagen were green; the prototype E 03s had...
I would say it's just because the marketing copywriter screwed up, didn't notice and probably doesn't know the difference. But the in-game coach...
The gripe is that the liveries are poorly done.
I'm leaning towards typo, since both coaches are revamps of the existing IC coaches (Avmmz and Bpmmz)
Gotta admit, the old Umbaus were way more comfortable.
