On my Sumpter mini route the 250 and 251 2-6-6-2s will crash the route if you try to turn on the headlight. Other engines don't have the problem. On my main Train Simulator, on the RMD1 route the E29 Electrics from Tim Muir will do the same - crash the sim when your turn on the headlight. On other r...

How about a model contest (virtual, of course and only freeware to avoid complications) with the winners being uploaded for all to share after the convention? Wish I could aford a trip to "Jolly Old" next year! It has been way too long and I'll surely miss this! :( We are starting to talk about a si...

Thanks for the info, Mick. Knowing that the + or - is non specific just allows me to ignore the notation, since the physics of the train's action (slowing and needing more power or speeding up and requiring braking) will tell if the grade is up or down and the number should give the correct gradient...

I find this to be extremely helpful, especially when navigating a new route. I agree it would be helpful to separate it out from all the brake pipe detail and other stuff on the third F5 view. Not that I mind that detail as it is a wonderful way to check the performance of the brakes on the individu...

Was that not the version which when driving from rear cabs turned all the train's bogies the wrong way into curves ? :( Having a choice I know which version I would prefer, seeing more of them than incorrect lights ! :wink: I am sure that in time George will get around to dealing with most of what ...

[album 48001 NP-EXPLORE.JPG] Will bring this thread to George's attention ! O t t o Otto, can we get him to turn the tender image around in the F9 Train Operations window so the coal bunker is towards the cab? Fireman has too far to go to bring coal to the footplate in this configuration. :lol: He'...

Understood. It did not seem that any of the persons who had responded were in a position to look into it, much less do anything about the issue. Neither am I, sorry ! But I do pass on to George what I think is important, him being the only one who can advice on what corrective action to take, havin...

Thank you for letting me know that you are looking at these issues, Otto.

As I mentioned above, the Emergency brake red light problem does not exist for 3DTrains' locomotives with version 1.6.0922. Is there any way to keep that version available for those who use 3DTrains' F-units but don't need animated doors or pantographs? I still have a copy that I use but it is no lo...

Just a clarification for our wonderful British friends across the pond, in the US, high speed passenger engines were often equipped with a rotating Mars light or a Gyralite headlight (the upper light, usually, on an F or E unit from EMD or a PA from ALCO). It's purpose was to alert pedestrians and m...
