I have been having issues starting this train cold. I go through the motions of turning the battery on, raising the panto and flipping the main switch however when I apply throttle, a German voice immediately began shouting something. I don't speak German however it sounds like he is saying two words. The first word starting with f and the last word sounds like "bremse". So is it related to the brakes? The train will began to accelerate however it will shortly thereafter stop it self. I have looked through the manual but the documentation was of no help.
Have you switched the AFB on Have you switched PZB on - not required but if you have you need to know how to use it Have you switched Sifa on - not required but if you have you need to know how to use it
Thank you. Is there any switch in the cab to release them? I released the parking brake using the f3 coupling hud.
No, unfortunately there is no switch in there (the back wall is not modelled). You can use the # key (or whatever key is bound to the handbrake .. i guess its / on a English keyboard).
I'm not questioning your knowledge of this unit I'm just curious.. Isn't the /? key the universal handbrake keybind?
On a German keyboard it is the # key. So no, it's not universal. But on the shown image that should be that key, yes.
Ahh I see. Edit: Actually I just looked more closely at the image I posted (grabbed off the internet and I added the red box) and just noticed that that's actually a US style keyboard which is again slightly different from my UK type, the key above the /? that we were discussing is shown as ' " whereas on the UK layout it would be '@ (The " for us is above the 2) So perfectly reasonable that your German layout differs from ours and explains my original question.
