I am a "newbie" at decoders, but after planning for about 40 years, I decided to get rid of H0 scale and go fully N scale. But not before I saw perfect couplings between cars, locos (Fleischmann Profi), plus I could get it all DCC. I now have a 2,40m x 1m layout where I mostly have the theme "diesel". With all those soundloks of course. No sound - no buy.

There is only one loco eating up my DCC decoders, Fleischmann's RC2. That is because the original construction is hopeless anyway, prone to short-circuiting already before the DCC decoder is in. The construction is electrically hopeless and should be recycled and reset ASAP. And you cannot digitalize something that is more or less broken from day one.

Bottom line, I think quite a few locos were made "digital" way before they were ready for it. Of course they burn DCC decoders when the solderings of the print make contact with the bogies in sharp curves, and so on...

So why do I post this? Because Metronom colours are refreshing, and I really hate Traffic Red. Just had to get this out. I can live with those terrible Dostos as well, just not Red. Thx to you guys for making those Metronom missions for HH Deluxe, plus alle the mods. My original RSC metronom is modified beyond belief. Also while waiting for a certain (new) BR 146 to be patched, this ol' 146 is all good

I sailed under this bridge in 1986, then rode the trains over it. Terrific to be the train driver 34 years later, great scenery. On my way back to Rosyth here, train full of beer drinking Norwegians from the Frigate KNM "Bergen"

And these subltle differences may be the reason I cannot get it to work, if I read you correctly (I''m not good at German anyway)

I have all the BR 218's, v3 v4, still the stw version does not work for me, as the repaint3 for vrot as well. The Br110 stw package on the other hand does. Anyway I reported this directly to vR, as I am totally set out by this.

RE 3053 by LG Tilmann. Just whish I could remove all that electric stuff hanging over mye head... been a passenger on this line often, but only dieseling

While having a battle with all the recent new stuff and reinstalling, I also found old stuff to be relaxing. HaSi original PS; added a pic from HL Updated. After doing this and that to TS, I lost the original HaSi missions. OK The freeware HaSi is way better. But believe it or not, I always miss the original HaSi, with all it's faults. Brutal curves at 40km/h (learn to adjust at slower speeds), loco hopping and dancing around (not far from reality, said from me as a previous railway worker in norway)... the original Fog on the Lenne in all it's darkness is one of the finest missions I know. Pic 1. Otherwise, sorry for a messy posting, and have a good week-end

I cannot get mine to work. Not from the loco, nor from the stw. Also not cold & dark. Cannot switch on battery, cannot start. Tried a total reinstall Br218 Vrot, repaint 1, repaint 2, this new package, no success. Btw, had the same problem with repaint 3 (blue-beige)

A shot from Hamburg Lubeck Updated V1. The DTG upgrade is great. V1 better, just that you have to do a tad work yourselves. In that case you get the correct speeds; 160 after Ahrensburg, thereafter 140km/h all the way to Lubeck, And no crap at Bargteheide

Sneaking into Lubeck harbour (thx danyNL)! - Replaced the BR145 with the 152 though

I'm taking the chance this pic from my new PC reflects the 90's?

I did have occasional freezing when saving the aufgabe with my old computer, using the motherboard's built-in Realtek, but not shure if the few freezes were audio related. Now I have a new computer, also using the built-in Realtek audio. Damned thing was the audio was gone after every TS restart, had to restart the computer to get the sound back in TS. Speaking about the 64bit exe.

Seems I have solved that problem for now, using Steam offline, and unplugging the net...

Zitat von Kim_olesen1

We all have things that are most important to us. For me it is functional signallisation. And the Marschbahn actually has really fine signallisation. The houses really look like houses of the region, instead of DTG that uses the same houses in each and every route.

I really like the Marschbahn and i look forward to the extension. Even greater if the extension went all the way to Ribe or Esbjerg ofcourse.

Agreed. I have been much around in northern Germany, especially around Jadebusen (family area), and the Marschbahn is something I really recognize, seen from a "not being a driver" perspective. At the same time I fully agree with LG Tilmann.

Bending my cargo over the hill.

I reported a CTD 10 mins into Finnentrop-Hagen this morning, but they can't be that fast...

The hard way: Check each folder and open the Routeproperties.xml with Notepad. Easier: Install RW Tools 2019, and you can se what is what is what. Takes some learning, though, but the basic stuff (checking sceneries, swapping locos) is in fact easy.

Wuppertal-Hagen is a perfect trip for me in lenght, and I love Wuppertal City too, with it's special, hanging "S-Bahn". Good realism in TSW when right time of the day, and next, can I have bugs smacking into the windshield, please

Been at stormy seas for six weeks, coming home to TS2020 and stuff, worth waiting for (your pics as well). Net is slow out there, sometimes, not there at all.

I do understand what you critisize, but myself don't say it that strongly. I'm also (from decades with flight sim) aware freeware often surpass payware, as the Skoda you mention. Thing is as I have been driving and repairing the Re460 real-life, my opinion may differ now and then

From what I've seen till now... I'm sold. Maybe because I'm used to driving around through trees and mountains at slow speed and seeing just that. If this is Konstanz - Villingen quality like, count me in. But I'll for shure watch this forum for a while before purchasing anyway, thinking about all my dollars lost so far...
