Hello everyone, I was thinking about slang expressions for this game and bingo. I got some. What expressions? You can look below

1. The pantograph is hanging in the unknown = The pantograph is extended, but above you is no overhead wire.
2. ATB died = ATB failed because of signal lose and giving you a 10 km/h limit
3. ZUB died = The same thing as a ATB
4. This train hate this one = Incompability of a connection between trains (ex. SG2 and SG3)

What do you think about this?

Joyride: Take a train at the depot and drive with ATB/ZUB disabled and drive on the wrong site or ram any other train in your way. (Until the train is too heavy ;) )
Roller: Drive as fast as possible "with no pantograph (MG2)" on the overhead part of the line and try to come as far as possible. 8-)

Perfect balance: have a train stationary on the viaduct near Oostpark without using brakes, by having the middle of the train exactly at the centre of the viaduct (so gravity on first and last car will pull the train in each direction, with both forces cancelling each other out, leaving the train stationary).

- No ears: drive a complete shift with flat wheels.
- Take your time mode: drive in "rangeermode" over the track while on duty.

Switching juices=Switching traction between third rail and overhead wire and conversely (impossible with MG2).
Lose a juice=Lose a traction.
Fart=Sound of releasing air when you switch on cabin or release brakes :lol: (This sound makes only MG2,SG2,RSG2 and diesel locomotive).
Annoying clicking=Persisting of track brake sound (I hope Michiel is working on removing this annoying bug ;) ).
Smash a train=Go very fast against stationary train (In sim, the trains will couple together and stationary train starts rolling with the rolling train. In real life you will make a metal scraps from both trains).
Retro style=Drive SG2 train in Simvliet 2017 route.
Going out from depot like Arnold Swarzeneger=Go trough closed doors at Bergpark depot.
Taxiing=Driving with a trottle setted on "Rangeermode" anywhere.
