Want to make a train go to a higher speed limit

[jamal17]

Does anyone know how to make train go higher than its designated speed? For example, I drive a EMU that can only go 78 mph at its highest but I want to make it be able to drive at 80 or 90 mph.

The only way of doing that (which is risky if you don't know what you are doing) is by editing the locomotive's enginespec.

You always experiment on a CLONE, never the original.

I like to drive at 5 -10 mph ... but I've always been a little slow :hehe:

That's good advice there Cascade. One thing I will add though is that both the locomotive and the enginespec will need to be cloned and the cloned locomotive updated accordingly.

where do i go in the enginespec to edit the speed limit?

That depends on whether you use DCC or Cabin mode. It's all in the config.txt file, and I believe the entry is maxspeed (watch out, it's in metres per second).

Do you think that will be fixed DCC vs CAB?

Not sure, it's two different sets of tags involved.

You could also simple exchange the engine spec for another one thats faster.

I drive in DCC mode and all of engine spec's I have to double the max speed otherwise my passenger trains crawl along at 30-40 when they should be doing 70mph

I find it easier to change the max speed for a particular loco, and I change all of the engine-spec for like locomotives to one common kuid.

I mostly use steam so I dont really have that problem.

Where is the config file located?

Not sure where this config file is? Do you run TS12, or is it in documents section?

Start the trainz launcher, click on content to open content manager, use the search function to find the asset in question, right click on the asset, hover over 'edit' and click on 'edit in explorer' and then find the config.txt
