More info on the link above. The site seems to be having high volumes of traffic as a result.

Managed to get it I will be buying the BR103 Orient Red or the TEE one after new year anyway.

Thank you towards VR as well, As did find out from the Newsletter this morning.

Very generous of Ulf, sehr schön! Weihnachtsgrüße.

Excellent, thanks for the heads up.

Note that it states on the page - Traffic Red (as opposed to Orient Red) was not an official livery for this loco, and this was produced originally as an April Fool joke!!!

There are free scenarios on there for the Orient Red, I'm going to switch them for this traffic Red loco - I'm not a purist

It's a shame that only one unit was ever painted in verkehrsrot really, I always thought it suited the 103

Anyway, many thanks to vR for this, I'll be sure to download it later.

Tom

I would suggest waiting till later to download, as attempting keep getting corrupted downloads for now sadly.

AFAIK the loco ran in Traffic Read because it was sponsored by Roco Model Eisenbahn and the loco had a sign on the cabside with info.
"Kurz vor dem absehbaren Betriebsende der Baureihe 103 wurde die 103 233-3 auf Initiative des Salzburger Modelleisenbahnhersteller Roco in verkehrsrot lackiert und am 5. August 2000 offiziell vorgestellt. "
"Shortly before the anticipated end of the operating range 103 103233-3 was painted on the initiative of Salzburg model railway manufacturer Roco in traffic red and 5 August 2000 officially unveiled."

And the loco ran in normal service to December 2004 so no purist part to it.

Note it's a Reskin for the Longer BR103 Orient Red.

Ta Peter.

Just wondering. I appear to have no keyboard control at all with the locomotive sadly. Any idea what may cause this?

Have you started the loco up with Ctrl+Z
That activates the Automatic Start-Up sequence then you will be able to drive the loco with the keyboard.

Practice some quick drives - it takes a little time to get used to.

Nope haven't. This is from launching QD or a free roam with the locomotive added. Have tried using Ctrl + Z and appears to do nothing for me. Same as following instructions for manual start, apart from Handbrake appears auto off to begin with.

Chris

Which loco are you trying to drive?

If it's this new one have you got the Orient Red as this is a reskin?

One as mentioned for free the DB BR103 traffic red. As haven't got any of the other 103's yet.

Chris

I thought I read that you need the orient red long version but looking for this info I cannot seem to find it.

Not sure why yours does not work, sorry.
The TEE version is the only one I have which works ok.
Still not got this Traffic Red version as the site keeps timing out.
