BR143 abd BR 151

I have the original of both these but would like to buy the update packs.
Alas I cannot speak German and when going onto the sites because there is no
English choice. I have tried but to no avail to understand!-also with the original versions
they have no tutorial and the various panel knobs etc. are only in German.
It seems that my only choice is to use Railworks Tools and abandon the 143 and 151.
Is there anyway that I can download easily? The windows translation is useless!

The locos drive like most other locos the main difference is the need to raise the Pantograph.
What do you need to understand about their operation ?

hello,
are you looking? (actually you can only be looking) either at TTB or vR versions of 151 and 143, over the RW standard 151 and 143 which are SERIOUSLY lacking in sound and features.

TTB will upgrade the standard 151 and 143 to new heights.

vR models will install along side the default 151 and 143 and mainly offer improved sounds

UNLESS it is the expert line vR143 (also available) on steam which is above even the TTB version in terms of realism.

there is no expert line vR151 so the TTB version I think is the best so far (sound and realism - simplified PZB).

ALL variants have an easy learning curve even if you don't speak german.

Thank you for the replies.
I find now (!) that I have the steam vR143 which is very good.
But I do need the TTB version of the 151.
I will try again to order the 151 but I wish they had an English site
as do Aerosoft!

From this page
http://www.trainteamberlin.de/
Click on Jetzt Kaufen next to the TTB 151.
When the pop-up page opens change the Sprache under the TTB logo to English
You can use a Card or PayPal

You will still have a German loco with similar controls to the RSC version but it will sound different.
Will the sound help you understand how to drive it?
