A Little Bit Of Atmosphere!

[paulz6]

So, despite a complete re-work of the German signalling, they still haven't got it right?

Some German Details

Nice pictures. However, please note that these arrows on the signals are completely wrong and the fixed speed boards as well. Contrary to the UK signalling, arrows do not limit another (speed) board to a certain route. They only indicate to which track the respective signal belongs to, e.g. if the signal is placed between two tracks and it is not obvious to which it belongs. Regarding the speed boards, if they are fixed, they must be obeyed unconditionally, otherwise, the light signal variant has to be used. In the upper image, it is the correct board, namely Zs3v. But on the lower image, it is an Lf6 board, which is used to announce the line speed as such. The only valid board at that position is a Zs3 board. A line speed reduction could of course be announced also, but the board would be either mounted on a separate pole or below the light signal. Finally, speeds of 20 or 30 km/h are only used if the following section is already occupied by another train (something like UK call-on) or the route ends at a buffer stop.

By the way, does RW really contain only the shortened versions of the light signals?

I have corrected these itemems some days before (without posting new screenshots . The little white Arrow wouldn't be used with Zs3/Zs3valso, only those long arrows. The Picture with Lf6 Board don't shows the Junction behind wich is routing to a buffer stop at Factory .

Klaus, have a look to the german forum http://rail-sim.de/railsim/forumnew/ind ... pic=1214.0. We could discuss on this board in german

Hi,

I have cross-checked it with a recent "Signalbuch" of the DB AG and I have to admit that I made a mistake in one aspect: The yellow arrow actually does indicate for which route the speed announcement refers. So in theory, the speed board with the arrow would be correct. But I guess that you won't find this in your situation. A train would never be directly routed to a factory siding via a main signal, but always via a shunting signal (Sh1). And for shunting routes, there is a speed limit of 25 km/h anyway.

Wow, Keith! They're great! Look forward to seeing the full monty once I've un-broken RW

Rik.

I must say I am amazed at the quality of these shots, the catenary looks incredibly good, congratulations and thanks!

He's using the French cantenary from http://www.railsim-fr.com which I agree looks very good as does that route.

That is an awesome recreation of Carlisle Keith,top work!

Many thanks for the kind words, and yes - hats off to dominique at railsim-fr.com for the superb catenary - my use may not be prototypical but it certainly adds a little something!
I'll keep posting as things progress.
All the best,
Keith

Dunno if this is atmospheric really,but oh well...

37039 works hard to get its train to Hedborough North,imagine the wheelslip,or,watch the vid

[almark]

New computer,first shot,running 60fps on top settings as opposed to 10 on lowest my lords!

Obviously no editing software so the original will have to do Other minor prob is Bath-Temp route not working but i don't use it much,other than that its money well spent )



Cheers,

wow some great shots of those northern towns.

thanks
