    What i mean. . .

    I mean do you edit the current trains, by having new horns, or changing the train.DAT file so its slightly different than the "default" train you downloaded?

      Default Trains

      Also unsure of the question...

      However, I do often like to use different traction on routes from time to time. For example, you can equally accurately use a Class 310 or even Class 150 (if you ignore the more modern objects) on the Cross City South route if you fancy a change from a Class 323. I also enjoy the challenge of trying to meet fast timetables using slower trains, such as the Class 156 SuperSprinter on routes timetabled for a Class 158 or Class 170.

      I suppose the ultimate would be to try this with the Class 101...!!

          That would be good!! Edinburgh to Aberdeen on the HST timetable with 1938 Stock. I wonder how late you could be on that...!!

          Actually, the project that I'm currently working on will use stock that is even slower than that (flat out at less than 20mph)!!! Perhaps I should test that on the routes out of Edinburgh.

              150's operated XCS earlier this year, IIRC, when problems were found with the 323's. Before the 323's, 304's and 310's operated the XC line, and before that 117s, IIRC.

                    The answer to that is "no", which means a vote for "yes". Can you see why I'm confused now?

                        More like most of the time !

                        As in the subject most of the time the first time I run a route, but some times after that I try older stock on the modern lines like the 101/104 DMU's earlyer diesals and sometimes even steamers, Its just me I like the older trains.

                        If you want to have a slow run on the Aberdeen run, how about the German steam tank that you can convert to left hand driver postion, One of the steamers is 30KPH max and the other is 40KPH, can never rember which is which and have to check before I drive them.

                          If you use older and slower trains on routes like Edinburgh-Aberdeen does this improve frame rate?
