Andi. A wonderful piece of work and very clearly explained. I think that your two posts here will go down in history as the definitive text on couplers. I hope Kuju (and others) pick up on the inadequacies you have exposed for the next generation of sims. In particular I have now seen very clearly, ...

Wow, thanks for all that Andi. It is going to take me a little while to assimilate it and see what difference I can make.

Thanks again, Martin G

Hi everyone. Despite many hours fiddling I still cannot get rid of this problem. Does anyone else have it and if you do, how do you get around it? First of all, I think it is a coupling problem because it only seems to happen on certain sharp curves (on x2 scale narrow gauge) routes. One of the prim...

HI Rick.

Thanks for your reply.

I have just been back to the Ffestiniog to begin resurrecting my 'career' as fireman and all the FR locomotives have the dual (steam brake on loco, vacuum brake on train) system.

Hi everyone, Apologies for resurrecting this old thread. I have just tried the 'steam brake' mod and it works like a charm - brilliant - except that whatever values I put in for the ejector steam usage the HUD says that the ejectors do not use any steam! Is this something we just have to put up with...

What fantastic cab rides! Does "bazzamotion" make you feel that seasick! Not to be viewed after a few beers!

Thanks Ian,

What have found is that cone sizes less than 5mm do not work at all in the sim.

Hi Ian, Very interesting post. Since I play mainly with narrow gauge stuff and my boilers are very small, your findings suggest that the variance between HUD consumption and tender water consumption would be large. I think I have been observing this effect for years without fully realising it. I kno...

Andrew,

If you pm me your e-mail address, I will attach the act and srv files.

Hi Jefran,

It is on the Cross Fell route at the moment. I have a feeling my problems are down to commas and/or inverted commas in the act or srv files but why it should suddenly kick off over these particular models, I have no idea.

Thanks, Ron, for your time and consideration.

Hi
Its the narrow gauge Bagnalls (Armistice and Ursula) and I do not have conbuilder. I have always used AE

Hi all, I have done a quick search but have not found an answer to a problem I have not come across before. I am sure it has been sorted many times already though, so I ask your patience with me. I have recently downloaded a terrific model which installs perfectly (complete with it's own consist) an...

Hi, I have just been trying to sort out couplings for light (0.5t) NG skips and have been trying to write some 'rules of thumb' for myself. I havn't really finished yet but was planning to ask for ideas from the forum in due course, when your post came up. It seems relevant so I put them here now fo...

Hi all, Just to complicate things a little, I believe it was established?? a few years ago that the HUD displays speeds a bit slow ie in a standard gauge route (1:1 scale) when the HUD says 10mph you are actually going at something between 11mph and 12mph across the ground in the sim. This effect is...
