Thought you'd be interested to know that Martin Corbett has released the class 101 DMBS, DTC and TPWS fitted variant over at http://bvetmd.org.uk
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
The three DMU's are excellent. They look good and handle as a DMU should. When the revs reach the maximum in the yellow section you shut the controller, wait for thr4 reves to drop to the low end of the yellow section, move into the next gear then slowly open the controller so that you don't get a thump when the power catches up with the gearbox. You should try to get as smooth a change as possible. Where the gradient allows gear changes should be made at approx. 15, 25 and 35-40 mph. When speeds drop to around these speeds you should move down to the next gear setting or that the gradient and speed allow so that you are never forcing the power and the train will automatically speed up as the gradient eases and you can work back up through the gears again.
Well done everyone involved in producing these welcome units.
