Bossman Games

[michaelhendle]

Hi
I would like to see Estonian Railways especially the route from Tallinn to Narva, they have a great variety of locomotives, from Russian Diesels and even EMD Class 32, some old Russian EMU's, although they have mostly been replaced by Talent's, Passenger coaches for Tallinn Moscow services, are operated by Go Via using Russian Locomotives and coaches Also Plenty of freight trains to and from Russia

At Narva there are plenty of light locomotive movements as the Estonian Locomotives come off and Russian Locomotives attached, Narva is the border town between Estonia and Russia

Being built is a standard gauge high-speed line starting at Tallinn going via Riga Vilnius, Warsaw to Berlin should be completed in 2022/23

Good luck with that. Estonia wasn't on the poll choices.

[michaelhendle]

I thought the poll choices on Facebook was for anywhere in the world,
Just had another look and it says, What country would you most like to receive the Bossman Games treatment

[IronBidder]

The poll only has a limited number of countries you can select. Estonia definitely isn't one of them.

The RMN is awesome - congratulations. Not sure if it's a RTFM issue or a bug, but I can only work the reverser in cab view, and the HUD does not display its setting.

Did you press E to unlock the reverser at the same time?

Sent in a ticket re water injectors killing the boiler performance.

Don't want to be a fireman so on level 5 Auto Fireman. He seems to want to keep water at 99% which is to high and any use of injectors causes massive pressure drop off. Cannot believe this is quite right.

After some suggestions from Ben at BMG got much much better performance from the RMN and now she flies! Still confused about what Class 175 I am missing in the scenarios though

What a brilliant loco - I think it is the best so far. It's the easiest of the BMG locos to drive and it really flies. Just driven with 12 coaches in tow down the Portsmouth Direct line reaching 85 mph easily. Thoroughly recommend. Plenty of different named locos to chose from which takes me back to my train spotting days on Brighton platform and sheds.

Yes. The regulator can be set in cab view but HUD remains at 0%. Regulator appears unresponsive to keyboard in camera view.

Chris - it would be useful if you could please post the details of that advice here, so other members may benefit from BMG's guidance?

Here are my observations how to drive BMG RMN:
Start: Usual handling reverser in full gear FWD/BWD and crack regulator open about 18 to 22% on F3/F4 HUD cylinder cocks Open
When it reaches about 10 MPH set reverser dial to 2. F/D position (roughly 60% on F5 HUD), close cylinder cocks keep the regulator open about 22% and open it slowly as it reaches 30 MPH.
Whent it reaches rougly 35 MPH crack open regulator fully open and rewind reverser gear to about 40% with increasing speed rewind reverser to 32-35% range and also boiler heats up and it will produce more steam.
Injectors: Both of them are Live Steam type so as it looks if you are filling boiler while coasting rewind reverser to midgear and keep regulator slightly open. Water and steam valves needs some adjusting time to time, bynow I am unable to say open water valve and steam valve to x position.
In short: Drive it with regulator fully open and higher gear and play with injectors.

The BMG advice I got led me to use Auto Fireman at level 3 assistance rather than level 4 or 5. This seemed to allow me to have the boiler recover much quicker from the fireman topping off the boiler and I got astoundingly better results as long as matched throttle demands so as not to overload the boiler when the ejectors were open. You can achieve same probably by using level 2 and doing ejectors etc yourself. On Welsh marches I could hit over 80 mph as a test.

Are there any contemporaneous routes for this?
