New Lok from VR

[holzroller]

Seems we have another treat in store soon https://www.facebook.com/virtualRailroads > speculation is rife on the German boards, but the majority opinion there favours one of the einheitsloks, although there is some disagreement as to which one it might be.

[smarty2]

Well if an einheitslok is a 212 then roll on!

[holzroller]

afraid not Mart, it's an e-lok. 110,112,113,115,139,140,141,150 in modern parlance. But nobody is sure which yet, although some have already altered the contrast on the picture to give a better idea.

As Holz says a BR110/140 and it's variations seems likely but one with the older cab design like the BR150

Hi
Could it be a DB Class 181,duel voltage loco,I believe they were used on the Mossel Valley route from Koblenz

No Mike, the light configuration is wrong. I believe the BR181 may appear with the Moesel route currently in production from what I read on the German forums.

The latest picture is a cab shot

If I read the picture correctly it has a 28 step tapchanger

EDIT
A quick look at the first picture in a Picture Editor makes me think it's one of the earlier liveried BR110 locos like

it is a BR110 for sure. I think they were originally hoping to bring it before Christmas.

[holzroller]

It is indeed a BR110, or more precisely in this case an E10 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 126&type=1

Edit: can one of the mods change the thread title to New E10 Lok from VR please. Seems the edit function only changes the title of the latest post. Thanks

As requested on Facebook the english translation of the last post:
(did someone have the right wording for "Schleifleiste" ? .. means the two elements on the pantograph that are grinding on the contact wire)

Some additional notices about new systems from the E10 for TS2015

TS technical:
- (resumable) first Expert-Line model which is compatibe to the scenario save and resume functions
- Able to show the preselected pantographs for AI directly in the scenario editor after changing it
- Ablity to select the message language (EN or DE) in game by pressing a keyboard shortcut

Tap-changer: certainly a N28h tap-changer system with the right sounds and visible sparks from the engine room thru the left middle window, tap-changer sound even for AI

Brakes:
- Electric brake decoupling is now more prototypical implemented. You need to press a second lever on the brake to decouple it from the train brake lever (only if the train brake lever in first braking position)
- Brake system overcharging ability thru a simulated time reservoir while using the max quick release position of the train brake lever. Too much overcharging brings the brake system to a fault state.

Pantographs: Sparking on the first pickup of the panto in driving direction if you have a run with two pantos rised in winter season. Short sparking when lowering a panto.

At least on the other parts a Expert-Line as usual. The heating wires on the windshields needed to be a bit thicker than normal because of aliasing and flickering. If you don't like them you can switch them off by a key command.

[holzroller]

Contact strips for the carbon strips, head or pan for whole the strip assembly. Time reservoir should be equalising reservoir or chamber I think. These Loks were originally fitted with the Knorr D2 brake. Similar in principle to the Westinghouse, but a different mechanical arrangement.

Thanks a lot for your translation, Maik. Will the E10 be TS2014 compatible or there will be some limitations as with G6?

[MaikG]

No, this time no backward compatibility with TS2014. You can try it by yourself but i used some techniques that only working in TS2015.

Do the coaches provided in the package are similar to these?
