I got my first Ton Up.A4 Republic of South Africa on a run from Stevenage to Finsbury Park,i actually got to 104 Mph!Shame the speedo only goes to 100!

Sweet, although she'll need quite a lot of repair work done after that!

[bigmull]

Good stuff, nice one. I bet it sounded good too!

It was something else,amazing to see the countryside flash past so fast,i didnt think i would be able to stop before Finsbury Park station!On MSTS i got mallard up to 134........seems that the game Physics were a wee bit less accurate on MSTS!

Great stuff! have you tried the London to Brighton scenario where you have to do a speed run with an A4?
This is mine with Sir Nigel Gresley

Is this with the RSC A4???

[Alicatt]

For me yes, the RSC/DTG A4, constant shovelling of coal and almost constant water feed

[rkk01]

Struggling to get over 123...

Might be taking the 45 through South Croydon (?) a little too conservatively

Is it possible to keep the boiler fed just with the exhaust injector? I've been using the F4 HUD, but that seems to use both injectors and has a big hit on boiler pressure

[Alicatt]

About 10 miles out from Preston Park I hit 130mph just using a combination of keyboard control, the F5 data, and the F4 HUD. The keyboard control allows finer adjustments to the regulator and the reverser.


And the end report: 130.19mph and 25:16 for the timed section.

Does using the lickey incline count as cheating ?

On Jetgriffs Birmingham 2010 route with the JT A4, went through Blackwell at 90, flew through Bromsgrove at 140 mph thanks to 1:37 then just about got up to 144mph after the sceenshot was taken on the down 1:100 south of the station! A single HST power car only got 146 !

Hmmm... must try dumping the passengers and try the Brighton route as a light engine
