Re: Armstrong Powerhouse Class 92 pack release.

The DLF is absolutely random Keith. The whole AP Pack was intended to add a new and more realistic aspect to the Class 92.

Re: Just Trains Clan-A Guide for the Uninitiated

It's a pity there are not more of these sort of guides about, they provide a wealth of helpfull information. I am just getting into the Steam era and this is great material. Many thanks

Re: Armstrong Powerhouse Class 92 pack release.

Very much sounds like the DLF Monitor tripping! You must read what comes up on the Annunciator Screen before pressing the FAP Button. The reality of the DC Low frequency monitor (DLF) is that other sources can also set it off. A prime example being F/Liner Class 86 s entering the the same section as...

Class 92 Preparation for service guide.

Full 7day preparation for service guide. This is one method of becoming familiar with the Class 92 Controls and systems. Some system checks have been omitted due to limits of Train Sim. Please follow the sequences exactly as outlined. The Loco must be located under any BR 25000 kv system. https://ww...

Re: Armstrong Powerhouse Class 92 pack release.

Out of interest, what type of Train was you running .... ie length and weight? I did various loadings with the Beta version and it was only by forcing the Temperatures up I managed to hit the Fault screen

AP Class 92 update released

AP have released an update to the Class 92 pack. This concerns the very heavy laden Slurry service over Shap. Can you nurse this heavy service to Carlisle without an over temperature? How about posting some screenshots! The trick is to find the balance between speed (don't try and maintain 60 mph) a...

Re: Class 92 Boost Button

I have only used the Boost Button once when being trained as an Instructor on these Loco s 15 years ago. The rate of speed build up as soon as the Button is released is quicker than you can react! As my trainer said " that s the reason to forget this Button exists......... a good lesson! Great in th...

Class 92 Boost Button

Although this is actually modelled in the AP Soundpack it should never be used with conventional Couplings and Stock. This feature was put on to ensure that Class 92s do not stall within the Channel Tunnel and used as a last resort due to the power that immediately becomes unleashed. Of course the b...

Re: Class 92 - Correct Driving Techniques.

If you have the master switch in the on position and have cancelled the AWS/TPWS Alarm it will prob be the Emergency Brake Plunger not raised. Just needs a press and then operate the Auto Brake. There should have been an Annunciator screen message for this but the allocated time for AP ran out! Just...

Class 92 - Correct Driving Techniques.

To compliment the release of Armstrong Powerhouse Class 92 Sound pack I have put together the correct method of driving for these Locos. It is important to note that there are several new features in the Speed Set equipment. Special care should be taken when starting a Train due to the high tractive...

Armstrong Powerhouse Class 92 pack release.

Good news folks. The Armstrong Powerhouse sound pack is about to be released. See Armstrong Powerhouse on Facebook. It has been an absolute pleasure to have worked with AP on this project. The tech details were provided my myself, but the real magic was completed by AP. I will not spoil the content ...

Re: Class 92 on sale

Great source of reference which concludes the reason for this incident as......... The absence or reduction in braking forces on the FSA and FTA wagons was caused by a combination of the following factors: l snow and ice ingress restricting movement of brake rigging and reducing the force that the b...

Re: Class 92 on sale

To be honest the Rule Book stipulates various constraints re a Running Brake Test. The many types of Wagons result in all different levels of braking. You really need to get the Train up to a near maximum speed and then make an Initial application and then further reduce to around 4 Bar on the Brake...
