Br112 Demand

Why is there a sticker in the driver's cab of the 112 that says that this locomotive is only allowed to drive 120kmh even though this locomotive was built for 160?

I mean with the 243/143 it would still make sense but here in the 112 it doesn't make sense.

 

Didn't check, but probably copied over from one of the BR 143s? But yeah, definitely wrong

 

The 112 isn’t a new loco, they just took the 143 slightly tweaked it, that’s why it doesn’t even look like a 112.

 

Well the Cockpit is not the same like the old 143 and yea i think a lot is copy and past.

Interesting, besides the cab what are the main differences between the 143 & 112? Comparing images I can’t see any differences.

 

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.

In some way the real 112 is actually a copy paste loco

 

Someone forgot to swap out the stickers.

 

And this is the thing which is so frustrating about DTG- the lack of attention to detail, when even a little more effort, a little more polish, a little more perfectionism would make all the difference.

 

Well, yes and no, the 112 is a further development of the 243/143/114

 

Both pictures are the cab from the 112

Jup or the sticker is a fixed part of the texture
