Re: GBRf Class 92

The Beta version is still being added to. Alot of time and effort has gone into detail and this is going to reflect in the detail and content. Class 92 fans will certainly see this complex Loco in a new Light.

Re: Signal issues on ECML South with SPAD B4 reaching signal

In a Nut Shell the answer is yes. Passing a Main Red Aspect Signal on the authority of a Position Light (two white Lights at 45 deg) will also trigger a Sensor if the Train speed is too high.

Re: Signal issues on ECML South with SPAD B4 reaching signal

This is prob a case of approaching a Red Signal too fast and triggering the TPWS Speed sensor. The correct approach should be to arrive at the TPWS Sensor at a low controlled speed. The actual trip speeds are never published but at 15mph you wont have a problem. The AWS Magnet at no more than 10mph....

Re: Class 121 use of Gears

Just to add that once the RPMs dropped to Idle and next Gear selected it was considered good practice to take two Notches on the Power Handle and let the RPMs catch up. Then take the remaining Notches. The reason being you did not strain the Torque Arm for the Drives.

Re: RSC Class 52 Western

Pleased to see a Class 52 available again. The bottom end of the Power scale seems far to high, pulls away in notch one like a scalded Cat. Apart from that I think it's a nice addition.

Here is the Class 92 Drivers Checklist which should be completed every 7 Days whilst in service or entering service. Normally the Loco is returned to Crewe ETD within its 7 Day period. I have unfortunately had to remove a great deal of the proceedure to keep within the limits of the Sim Model. https...
