    Fixes that need to happen:
    1. The F40PH and MP36 accelerate way too quickly from zero speed. This is how they accelerate in real life:
    2. The F40 Headlights need to be brighter and have a stronger yellow glow like in real life. They did a better job on the Nippon Sharyo cab car headlights.
    3. The ditch lights need to be fixed on the F40. You can barely see them flashing.
    4. The bearings on the outside of some of the wheels don't move on the f40ph. They are stuck in place. They did a good job with the Nippon Sharyo Gallery cars.
    5. The bell is too loud in the cab of the F40. I think dovetail is aware of that problem.
    6. The Signals change way too late when you pass them.

    Minor problems I can deal with but would like to see fixed:
    1. Better exhaust effects/Engine sounds(F40PH specifically)
    2. They did a decent job with sounds like the door warning, bells, and brake sounds but the horns could be better. Although they are not terrible.
    3. Cars waiting at crossing gates
    4. Tamien station. Caltrain uses this station frequently and would be cool if they add it. It's only a couple-mile extension.
    5. I feel the brakes are a touch too effective with minimal brake application. Specifically on the Nippon Shayro gallery Car.

    Unless any of those are included in the current batch of preserved updates for the route it’s unlikely they’ll get done now

    sorry to necro comment, but... started playing this one a lot lately, and after a long time I gathered the courage to try gallery cab car... and besides it not having ammeter, which annoys me, I ran into sth annoying as well, I think M3 on LIRR used to do that too - you press Q to "acknowledge", or, in this case "alerter reset"... and I pressed it, maybe for a fraction of a second too long, and I heard hissing sound, which meant PCS open... like, sometimes you can clear that even still running if you go fast, but... it is annoying... isnt it a touch too sensitive?

    Edit: it seems random, cos I have this habit of "acknowledging" cos of UK and GER content... and here, dunno... sometimes it trips the PCS open on like 2nd short press, sometimes it takes more, sometimes on any press... and here I have found this:

    I mean, why put an alerter cut-off valve in there when it has no alerter? Or has it? Am I just ignorant and confused? :D help pls :D
