Loco Freightliner Br Class 70 - Feedback Thread

There's some jobs like that on sand patch grade as well

 

Why do AMPS keep going up and down really quick. In notch 8 can't get above 40 on trent valley in the snow really struggling.

 

Given that a Class 70 is around 20% more powerful than a class 66 it doesn't equate to what I'm finding in the game. I feel like the Simugraph side needs reworking.

 

I no longer have access to the official Loads Book, but if a 66 is capable of restarting a 1050 tonne train on the 1 in 37 Lickey Incline, then the 70 would have been rated slightly higher. So it should certainly be handling these loads out of Rylstone Quarry without issue. As I no longer have the add on, perhaps someone could set up a free roam on BCC with the 70 and an 1100 tonne load (not Freightliner stock as we know that has other issues), start at Bromsgrove and drive half way up the bank, stop and see if they can get going again.

 

But would the class 70 be used irl Rlystone Quarry. Just asking cause I really dont where class 70 majn working lines are.

 

Unknown, but even if this is a fictional substitution it should still cope with the loads that a 66 would handle in real life, or for that matter on the OG runs on the Airedale route.

 

Thanks Vern.
