    Im just getting to grips with the German Railways. And I'm quite confident with passenger workings. But under Freight! what are PZB what are the limits? As I keep getting flagged by the system.
    Kind regards :)

    Check out the guide in my signature.

    For example, the heavy Habbiins train (2nd service from the top, although it is recurring) will be in G-brake on all vehicles (that means you need to move the GPR switch at the back of the cab to G). This also means that the PZB mode must be U (move selector to U on the right side, under the desk. Lastly, since the BrH (sum of brake weights divided by train weight) is so low (49 with -25% factor due to G-brake) the train is limited to 80 km/h.

    While that is correct for operating that train, PZB doesn't enforce it. PZB only requires the Mode U restrictions (105 km Vmax, 55 w/i 35 seconds after a 1000 Hz etc). The magnets don't know what your brake-weights are.
