Hey Smarty I'm a bit late in asking, since this sale is almost over, but how different is the 156 to drive from the 143?

Sorry for the late reply, very different, the throttle has notches set at speeds from 20kph in multiples of tens. when you throttle back you get auto dynamic braking too, I like it.

What a pity I missed the BR 252.

Which is better the DB BR 103 TEE direct from VR or via DTG?

The DTG version is currently cheaper than VR's and appears to have almost the same functionality.

What is the "E03.0"? Link please. And what is the pre-qualification? Registered users of what?
Thanks in advance for the info and Merry Christmas!

As always I would strongly recommend buying it from vR rather than off Steam, the vR version has more functionality (manual start-up etc) and is more likely to receive updates.

Where did you get the info? I don't see any thread/post on rail-sim.de...

Really wonder how it got out... Nobody can keep a secret these days... :-D

E 03 is the old designation of the BR 103 like Exxxx pre TOPS for a Class 86 i.e.. The first model was shorter than the later serie of the E 03.

If you want to buy a vR model buy it direct from vR. The developer has more income and the buyer has more accuracy.

Unfortunately it would appear that the info is a little suspect, although it looked like an official announcement it would appear that it wasn't, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Thanks for the info.

I'm really hoping they put the DB BR120 Bpmbdzf IC EL V2 up as part of the sale.

I bought their Alco RS-11 rather than the DTG reskinned version last weekend when both were on sale. Nice running loco even though you can't really open her up on the Horseshoe Curve route without breaking some rules.

Is it really a neccessary info from where he got it, is it? Some people are digging deeper than usual, to be the first who sput out some news that no one has seen before, to earn something like attracting more attention or so. They don't care about what they doing, even if they are destroying businesses with their doings. :-?
