Default Speed Limit

[biscuitzs]

I have made loads of my own routes but im getting a little annoyed.
i cant find anything anywhere that tells you how to change the default speed limit.
its still set at 40mph and i want it to go higher.
how can i do this

Place track speed signs (found in trackside objects) on the track.

Hi biscuitzs,
For trainz to travel beyond the default speed your tracks have to have signals and speed limit signs. There are numerous signals and speed signs built in both in TRS2004 & TRS2006. Click on the rail tab then select signals, the middle icon, then click on the top line where it shows what is selected, delete what ever is there and type in signals. You can then scroll down till you see a signal you want to use. After finding the signals type speed in the top line and scroll down till you find a speed sign you want to use. Place signals and speed signs on the track by selecting them then click on the track.

Cheers,

The problem is that the train won't sense a speed limit until it passes a speedboard. You, quite reasonably, want to set a speed limit which will apply until the train passes the first speedboard.

This is possible in a scripted scenario. The GameScript coding to do it is very brief but obscure to put it mildly. One of my RBR colleagues discovered or invented it, clever man. I'd better not include the coding here as I suspect that it might be subject to an RBR NDA.

I don't know if anyone's put that coding into a Rule for use in a Driver session. I guess it would be possible. I just had a quick search on DLS but couldn't find anything.

With enough programming skill it's probably also possible to add coding to search backwards along the track for the relevant speedboard and automate the whole shebang. However, there would still be a need for manual specification when you start by heading out of a dead-end spur.

Implicit in the answers is that you cannot change Auran's default speed of 40 mph or 65kph. I seem to remember previous posts that said it is impossible to change the value.

While you can't change it, in a scenario/activity you can override it. If someone has made a rule, you'd also be able to override it in a session.

Hi biscuitzs,

A simple way to change the speed limit where your train starts off is place invisible speed signs. If you want the speed to be less than 40mph. place an invisible speed sign just in front of the loco, if you want the first speed to be more than 40mph. place an invisible sign about half way along the last wagon in the train. This way the train will recognise the new speed as soon as it starts off.
