I for one am happy to hear to hear that you’ve got another idea for the 420 when the time comes.
Abandoning steam was a major mistake in my opinion. Between the abandonment of steam and US freight, the variety of DTG's TSW DLCs seems to...
The track monitor setting is not being saved either.
It’s a godsend on PS5. Finally more than 30fps.
True and the 155 was to me the best done German loco back then before the 101 came along and blew her out of the water.
Indeed, he did.
Please have a read: This is precisely what you should not do.
I wanted to share something that captivated me so, I felt it a shame not to share it with you lovely people. It’s a series of videos/films centred...
I love NTP. Someone mentioned RSN before and I'd agree with that comparison - both are lovely routes that have more than stood the test of time....
I get that. HRR was somewhat overlooked by virtue of its shortness, but it was a really good route for the time with almost Rush Hour style...
Much appreciated, Matt.
Under 1000Hz supervision, 85/70 always light up in an alternating pattern as if in restrictive monitoring, even when you aren’t. Normal 1000Hz...
Something fun for those interested: I spent the last two days beautifully recreating this Elverlingsen coal train via free roam: [MEDIA] I used a...
lcyrrjp, matt#4801, thank you both for your input regarding steam under wires. I had come across the stripe restricting running south of Crewe...
I agree. The schedule isn’t exactly hard to match but you can’t fall asleep either. I’d say it’s like SoS if the speed limits either side of...
What a lovely idea! You're making me want to get back into the Jubilee after having just done a 1 1/2 hour stint :) Your screenshots also...
Well, looks like we're in for a hat-trick today. I've got a report too. Since I was feeling like it and fortunately do still have access to ECML,...
Some people, not all. I'd like authentic sounds above all else.
I just thought the more pressure in the boiler, the better :D (I’ll see myself out now for that one…)
Indeed. I’ve been on a 140 and loud they are. Then, the “air conditioning” was turned on (i.e. the door to the engine room was opened). You can...
Hear, hear. From the Huddersfield - Marsden climb to Millers Dale - Peak Forest, you’ve very consistently blown lcyrrjp and I out of the water on...
Exactly. patty_beats, you’re blowing the MCB. Don’t hold the lever in ‘run up’, just quickly tap ‘run up’ to go up one tap at a time.
I have to say that I’m intrigued by how many people complain about this. I’d argue TSW gets them very nicely. Those fans are incredibly loud and...
I think you have to play it to understand. There’s something really satisfying about giving something dirty a good cleaning. The upgrade system...
That’s odd. The only problem I faced on PS5 were extremely blurry ballast textures. As reported back in various threads, consoles are for some...
What I'm learning is that DRA has a lot more possibilities for extension than I initially thought. Granted, many of these will likely remain pipe...
Just to add to all this, Matt did say that they'd now strongly consider pairing a new loco with such an extension. Given the addition of a large...
I'll say, that sounds exciting. The thought of going back to some of the all-time greatest routes and breathing new life into them is really...
For me: RSN could really use an extension from Finnentrop to Siegen. It would also give an opportunity to replace the outdated freight cars and...
Without meaning any offence, because I can tell the difference. I know what belongs on a 90s route and what doesn’t. As it’s a simulator we’re...
Indeed. As solicitr said, you could try having only the 101 sub for the 103 on IC services with LFR’s coaches. In that case though, you should...
Not terribly much. It would need a different livery and some elements in the cab would need to be changed (even though the 103, 110 and the cab...
I don’t have any since I haven’t bought the route. I’m not all that interested in Austrian routes so Semmeringbahn isn’t really on my radar (at...
Indeed. Most German locos give a “per traction motor” readout.
Oh, that’s interesting. Didn’t think of that. Thanks a bunch for sharing!
Just press here: [ATTACH]
I’d really encourage you to try survival! I don’t care much at all about the survival aspects but the accompanying combat changes transform the...
razmatus#2517, here you go.
Wise choice, I reckon. Since I wanted the Vectron anyways and she turned out amazing, I don’t mind having bought the edition containing both back...
I don’t think so. Having been on a 140 in action, I feel TSW replicates the droning quite well. It is pretty much all you hear in the cab.
No, that doesn’t work. The very first 101s were in service at the time of LFR but no coaches in the new ICE-inspired colour scheme (that happened...
Today, I'm bringing you something a little different. I'm not entirely sure whether it belongs on our spreadsheet (very much open to feedback on...
That's true. First time I took the tube, the noise really surprised me. I had never heard anything as loud and rattling before in Germany....
wcwood92, that sounds like perfect driving techniques except for this bit: AFB holding the speed with gentle traction and braking is fine on the...
Hence why I said on paper. When she was drawn up, there were still talks of possible 160km/h freight trains and using 101s for freight at night....
A little older than that - delivery started in 1996, so 28 years in service currently. They rack up so much mileage on IC duty though that 30...
Honestly, I doubt the 101 has much of a future with private EVUs if DB sells them in the first place. While they were designed as universal locos...
80km/h, actually. The V60 is limited to 60km/h in track mode.
amtraknick1993, thank you once more for your detailed replies. I had another question about braking if you don’t mind - specifically from my...
Really, PFR has so many things working against it, it shouldn’t be used as a benchmark for steam routes if that’s the problem. The timetable is...
Separate names with a comma.
