    Has anyone tried to run the 483 (1938 stock) on the dc line? I've tried 3 different stations, all with 4th rail present but the train doesn't seem to be drawing current.
    Master key is on, reverser key in and on forward 2.

    Yeah I’d even tried that on the new route where it third rail. The 483 didn’t move. The 484 moved but when I want to do it in free roam. It says I can’t go there. I’m feed up with it.

    I think it's due to the power not being set up right on the 1938/483. The island line was 660v 3rd rail only. Whereas the watford dc line is 750v 3rd rail or 4th rail. I guess the 1972 stock trains are converted to run on 750v whereas the 1938 heritage stock only runs on 210/430v or 660v third rail only.
    Why they have implemented this in the game I don't know.
    The 484 was set up like this at launch, there was a mod to run it on 750v 3rd rail but I think rivet changed the configuration at some point.
    Shame they didn't do the same for the 1938 stock.
