Thomson Interactive Alpine Arosa: Chur - Arosa

[Farioli]

Anyone know if the signals for the request stops are working randomly? Because I did two runs in free roam and I never seen one of them lighted...

I saw them lighted in a scenario, but didn't yet replay the scenario to see if those stops were random or pre-programmed in the scenario.

I've found some markers in the scenario editor that are probably used to light the signals, so I suppose they aren't random and they can't work in free roam, or at least they always call a stop at the same station...

In real life Allegra units seem to often tow two or even three passenger trailers on this route. Has anyone tried using the EW II trailer coaches from the Rhb Enhancement pack 01 with the TS Allegra ?

Yes... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... 1114907195 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... 1114907227

Excellent ! Thank you. Incidently, is that the old freeware Albula route?

I also thought later, that you probably don't want them to trigger for freight workings, so that precludes random stops in a QD as well. But if you make your own freeroam scenario, you probably can put down these markers and activate them.

Unfortunately I can't find anything about them in the manual.

As an on topic post, I think that Thomson missed an opportunity here to add the Chur Thusis section.

I tried a QD and the signals are working, so I think I have to put them by myself in free roam scenarios, even if they will always working

I agree that the old Albula is well worth reviving, I have done a few bits myself ( mainly raising sunken passengers and ground level platforms). After all its got street running in Tirano . Great !

Ideally I would like to change the signals but I do not think it a straight swap in RWTools?

You can swap one asset type for another in RwTools, but I have very little experience in this. I would think that signal swaps would be quite difficult to do this way. However the best place to seek advice might be the RwTools section of the forum.

I don't want to be a S**** A*** or a "rivet counter", but in the above screenshot. should you not have had the outer (d.c.) pantos raised and not the middle one, since you are on the Bernina railway ?

[smarty2]

I would have absolutely no idea!? However that is the panto that is raised by default at start.

[GrateEastern]

For anyone who wants to know, a Class 321 without power will eventually derail at 78mph about 2km into the descent from the summit.

I was bored.

As I understand it the dual voltage ABe 8/12 3car units use the centre unit panto when on the 11kv a.c. power ( i.e. on all Rhb routes other than the Bernina {St Moritz to Tirano}'

When they are on the Bernina with its 1000 volt d.c. supply, they use the front and rear unit pantographs. This seems to be borne out by photos and videos of the real world, but if I am wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me !

According to the Manual , if you want to start the unit with the d.c. pantos raised you have to use a "D" prefix to the EWA unit numbers, rather than an "A".

RhB Enhancement Pack 2 in development

Our latest Rhätische Bahn product is now well in to production and will feature an all-new Ge 4/4 II locomotive along with additional rolling stock. Full details will be announced here in a few weeks time.

Yes! Finally! My favourite narrow gauge loco...

[smarty2]

Nice!
