They would allow you to change ends properly and open the door for more detailed cold starts. Both of those are things I’d want to see if these...

As much as I’d love that, I think we all know that it’s gonna be the Produktfarben IC coaches.

Still sounds exciting. Looking forward to what you come up with when/if it is released :)

I’m not entirely sure. From what I understand, the way it’s supposed to work is that you set a target speed via the speed selector, then activate...

...which is so obvious on the WSR goods trains. You can either stick the cut-off in the 40-50s and have the 4F work while you kill the kettle of...

I'd be up for it. Maybe they would finally bring us more engine rooms along with proper cold starts. I'm always interested if there's a chance to...

Manual firing is certainly rearing its head right about now. It went from coming soon™ to "we're taking our time to get it right" to radio silence...

As I’ve said multiple times, I’m far more of a freight person than passenger. That said, I’m from Germany so I can’t really complain in terms of...

“We’re not directly doing anymore active development in terms of steam but obviously we’re welcoming 3rd parties and we support 3rd parties that...

Getting that resolved would be great. The ATSF F7s are desperate for some passenger coaches - even if the coaches themselves are incorrect for the...

Thanks a bunch! :) Just had a run on AVL and it’s so much more enjoyable when you have these firsthand accounts and know that what you’re doing is...

(emphasis mine) That is an extremely slippery slope though. By that definition, all the game would need is a floating cab since everything else is...

amtraknick1993, thank you very much for your detailed post. There's nothing better than first-hand reports and instructions. I've got a few small...

Last update on the 218 was from New Year’s Eve.

The 104 and new freight cars with a timetable overhaul are certainly enough for one pack and to get me excited! I agree though - getting a BR...

Ok, I have to ask. What are these "bing bongs"? Some sort of jingle for announcements or something?

That's matching my first-hand experience. The closer the job position is to driving trains, the more you encounter enthusiasts.

Good catch with the Falns. They're some of my favourite freight cars in real life and TSW's are in desperate need of an overhaul. Not getting...

I am too. I don't really know anything about Japanese railroading, but the landscapes I've seen online and the episodes about it on...

That would be amazing.

Very excited about this, indeed.

Very excited about the Br 111 making her debut in TSW as well as the first Japanese route. And of course BR Green on PFR was long overdue.

AFB only works with brakes in el-control in real life.

It’s a bit blurry in my mind now, but I think I managed 48mph (or maybe even 49?) on the climb and the final push and later the slight downhill...

You make some good points, which is why I voted to keep things as they are with 3 routes. To be frank, I wouldn’t like to see a big release that...

I'd love getting the Bluebell. Beautiful line. A Terrier would be amazing to have in TSW.

Blackpool (N) - Preston, No. 2 Note: I did this run Thursday night but due to the forums being down, I couldn't type it out beforehand. As...

Thanks for your input. Yeah, that's about what I would expect from them.

A very good effort and a - at least as far as I'm concerned - on-time arrival in Preston. Reading your report on your personal best, I'm wondering...

I was being (half-)serious. I've worked on Bombardier 185s/186s. I have no idea about the Talents but I would not at all be surprised if that...

The 112 has a different headlight configuration and different bogies for 160km/h (instead of the 143’s 120km/h). That’s the main differences. 143...

Not as far as I'm aware. I just read your comment about tunnels and thought of NBÜ since it's the only system I'm aware of that deals with tunnels...

The opposite as far as I know. It's the switch to issue an LZB-emergency brake order across the system. You use PZB-Release to override LZB...

…which is why I think our runs are pretty much identical. If you put together the times I didn’t stay for a minute, I’d probably arrive at Preston...

Now we're even filing reports at the same time! :D I find it interesting how we got very similar timings and even speeds with somewhat different...

So, I was planning on having another bit of fun on WSR tonight but when I saw this prompt, I got giddy. I'm not admitting defeat on PFR, but as I...

Thank you for correcting me! I checked and it’s true that the line is not GNT equipped.

I’m pretty sure they’re for GNT, not ETCS. They were present from the start but non-functional since GNT was only added later by DCZ. GNT is a...

Ah, I see. For a shunter, that actually makes sense though. Don’t know how it’s done in the UK but in Germany, shunters are turned off when...

True. I’m curious what work went into it since - if I recall correctly - the latest has always been that the AI can’t handle it.

I’m all for new challenges, but I don’t own Edinburgh-Glasgow and - different to some of the other routes we discussed - don’t plan on picking it...

I used the Class 09 services in the steam gala as a little time filler today. Am I going mad or does the 09 start out cold in the timetable?

Just found these and figured I’d share them here for everyone’s convenience. Once more, pictures by Influenzo shared shortly before New Year’s...

You're very welcome. I hope for more vintage German routes as well. I'd love even older ones, too, but the 90s are a great decade for variety. I...

No, it’s been bugged since release of TSW4. There’s nothing that can be done on your end.

True. It does rely on you remembering a somewhat niche feature of the PFR banking setup.

Did you sound the whistle twice to have the 8F release the brakes at the back? I had no issues with the goods train.

I’m quite happy, but I don’t really know what a real 4F sounds like, so take my impressions with a huge grain of salt. :)

Have to say, I’m quite chuffed about the update. Just had a go at the early morning 4F goods train and it was really nice to stretch her legs a...

That’s why I put her in bare essentials. The 140 is essential for any vintage electrified line and 110s on freight shouldn’t be the norm going...
