Not an expert on US things but this definitely correct. As soon as you disconnect a brake hose the whole train comes to a grinding halt surprisingly quickly. I've been on a train that lost a vacuum brake connection as it went round a tight corner and the rate of deceleration was significantly...

You can change the spec a vehicle uses on a per session basis using the vehicle's properties dialogue.

You should put it in the description and license fields of the config. The description is what will be seen by users on the DLS/in CM whilst the license is what people will look for when determining if they can do their own modifications. Before anyone piles in accusing you of doing something...

Just caught up with this thread. No plans for any Maine content from me I'm afraid...

Happy to discuss in more detail via PM/discord.

Thanks to everyone involved for the effort put into these carriages, it's great to see them being revived with the new script. A couple of minor issues I spotted: - The livery option is called "GWR Livery", I assume this is a copy and paste error... - There should be a none option for the...

They were originally only banned from high speed working. They were being run at speeds of 90 mph on passenger working until someone worked out how fast the small diameter wheels were going round and thus how fast the pistons were moving inside the cylinder. After this they stopped being used on...

I think the seating is different. 450 is 3+2 and, as far as I can remember, 350s are 2+2 (been a while since I sent on one though). Otherwise basically the same, 450s even have an empty slot on the roof for a pantograph. I'm pretty sure 350s and 450s originate from the same order and were built...

The tenders you want are <KUID2:403746:2470:2> "Caledonian Drummond 3150 Gal Tender - Early livery" or <KUID2:403746:2455:2> "Caledonian Drummond 3550 Gallon Tender - Early livery". If you are getting errors with any of my content let me know the KUID numbers and what the specific errors are...

It's pretty straightforward to swap between the two surveyor modes, you can do most work in the version you prefer, but switch across to use features unavailable in the other when needed.

Th solution to this sort of problem is to use surveyor 2. That lets you move trackside items to arbitrary locations whilst still maintaining there relationship to a chosen point on the track.

Portlineparker's Swanage railway route is excellent. There's also the L&B route form the late Clam1952 (who also has a Ffestiniog route and a fictional narrow gauge route). All on the DLS.
