Könnt Ihr die Strecke empfehlen oder nicht?
Been a passenger on this line in the 60's and up to 90's, but not very often. Line and signals are fine and working like I expect it to driving with PZB, greenery is good, and buildings are at least German style and not UK style. If any local details are missing I wouldn't know, as my memory even from the 90's are starting to fade. This scenery was a must-have, and now I have it, and a beer to celebrate. Only thing I miss are better looking ferries, and a vR V200 or BR221, plus a sleeping car to build myself a "Hamburger" consist.

Good morning, the speed of the trains dial me in a mile, is it right, or is it some problem?
I have this problem with MJ's ICE 37 Aufgabe, but everything is OK using Quickdrive.

Me, I have to admit, it is more about collecting locos than building landscapes. But by accident I discovered an easy way to grow trees, so now collecting and driving. Love your collection displayed

In N scale, I went for diesel and flatlands since I was often in Varel/Bremen/Wilhelmshaven in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Also a good excuse in order to not build mountains and rig catenarys. Planned laziness! Here my latest loco, the Fleischmann BR 44 with Henning sound. Absolutely involving those sound locos. I am also experimenting with how to place trees, and will sell the (too) modern station, and replace it with a smaller in red brick, like in Varel.
Warning: Lousy pic, but this is a story

HA! Absulutely true. Norwegen by the press is a lie, so as you state, bestimmt auch in Norwegen. Working 9 years for NSB I know what the facts are. Forgive me if I was to rough regarding DDR - It is a period in time I want to recreate, as of interest and not of critisism

Rostige. Hope I don't step on anyone's toes here but rostige please (was that DR?). Just a guess and now feel free to shoot me

... which I will be totally happy with

Nobody yet made a cargo run from Lubeck Hafen to Hamburg Wandsbek for Hamburg-Lubeck Updated. Well I just did, after two days of frustration. Even got the Danish IC3, German ICE-TD and a cargo train (plus a BR628 to Neumunster) all happen at the same time, while waiting at Bad Oldesloe Track 39; the IC3 is passing, and the ICE-TD is zooming past me. It seems I soon have to share with you one of my first scenarios

Mine is right now different than the Lion. But I think I can correct this by uninstalling both, because I know when I had the Re 4/4 first, then got the Lion, both locos behaved the same.
True, a solid one-man show, and I still will stand against the critisism regarding the 460, but here this is off-topic

It is funny you mention this, as our test track for ATS (like PZB but simpler), had a very steep gradient uphills, and I had to bang our locos fast up to 40 and above to force an emergency stop. A couple of times I was too fast... and blacked out a certain big railway station because I passed from one power supply to another, without switching off the main breaker
. Oh that was the times... "heelp can you come and get me with the battery tractor, please?"...This taught me how to use the Hebel on those old classics, and I have still the "muscle memory", making it easy for me to regulate after a short time with the Twx loco. As you say, it is for shure important to be vigalant all the time. Three bangs up, two down a few secs later. I don't remember anymore, but I used to know exactly how many Stufen before going uphills, and how many while climbing. This I need to re-learn with the Twx locos.
-
Yes you are both correct, and thank you. I corrected my post. I also expected a typo regarding Re, Ae and all that, as the new designations totally confuses me :-p To drive these locos with precision, is only a question of spending a few hours in them.
Oh, and btw: Now to reinstall the Twx 4/4 Green classic

Based on 9 years driving the NSB versions for real, they should work like rasender-roland describes. The Norwegian El-11 and 13 have a nullstellung, then you increase, and bang-bang-bang like the knallfrosch. Return to null and you keep those Stufen. To decrease, anticlockwise (reduce). Our El-14, which was based on the Ae 6/6 the same thing, but instead of a Hebel, a Wolkswagen steering wheel
- and a luftmotor to drive the knallbreakers.EDIT:
Need to correct myself here:
The locos work correctly. Me, I have no control when I can't hear the switching (like in the real-world locos), and I also loose control when there isn't a meter showing the actual Stufe. So Dot is Neutral. M is regulator slow up, + is fast up. Minus regulator slow down. After setting off like a rocket from Innsbruck with the Lion, I was able to control my speed quite precisely, almost like I had an AFB. Best thing is to not use the HUD, just watch the Hebel. Up for two secs, back to Dot. Down (-) for two secs, back to Dot.

Slightly off-topic, but at the same time very on-topic: I lost the sound with TS2020, needed to restart the PC for each new Aufgabe. The OpenAL files delivered with TS2020 are "geriatric". Download from here (backup your old files first), then overwrite. Of course I don't know if this fixes the 146, just my fice cents.
