    Hi everyone, just joined up.
    Can anyone please let me know how to drive a class 73 on electric. I have the "blue locos pack" and have watched videos about it and read other people's comments, but, I can't figure out how to move it, it's obviously something that I am overlooking but I can't figure it out.
    I have train sim classic 2024.
    Thanks.
    I

    There is no Class 73 in the BR Blue Pack. Click on this link. Loco DLC Manual

    I think the OP, who is new to the Forum, meant BR Blue Diesel and Electric Pack which does have the Class 73

    The manual for the pack is here

    For completeness there's also a Class 73 included in the MKS Class 460 dlc but there doesn't seem to be a manual for it. I find it easier to drive as the A & D keys work in the usual way, CRTL + A swaps between the Electric and Diesel control handles. You also need to check the Master Key is 'On' and the AWS change ends lever is 'On' - swap the views to see this control.

    Was there ever a mini enhancement pack for the class 73? I'm sure I remember seeing one on UKTS a while ago

    There was a pack of liveries for the MKS Class 73 which I think is on Vulcan Productions

    Yeah; it addressed how the switch between power modes worked and came with Steve Green's tweaks to the sounds. It applied to the Class 73 Pack 01 offering, not the BR Blue pack or MKS versions.

    EDIT: DTG Class73Pack01 tweaks........https://ln5.sync.com/4.0/dl/e19aee2e0#2p9z2xiv-xkb5dmbf-fmt3typr-mfbsbgfb

    ....and I can't remember doing it, but there is one for BR Blue pack 73 that sorts the power switching out.... https://ln5.sync.com/4.0/dl/93f578380#sptc6njp-6ae6e49g-6iu8azc8-xq5k8h4k
