Moderator: senjer

Do you want to be able to run tube trains on the line to Ongar again?

Yes, from Epping to Ongar, so occiasional tube trains, or 'full-tube-service' are possibilities.

Yes, but only halfway; no further then North Weald.

No, I'd rather have it un-electrified as is exists in reality.

So since there are letter signals now, I assume custom signals are possible once more like old times? It will be great to see different variations of signal products like incandesent and LED lights, adding to the lore and giving more character to the equipment.

Allow me to share with you this amazing video about Roding Valley, made by Geoff Marshall. :D
I'm a fan of his project.

Release: Epping-Ongar Railway & Central Line

Post by Sjoerd »

Now that Metrosimulator 3.16.1 is released, the EOR & Central Line route is also available for download! :)

Image

Install 3.16.1 first, and after that.... This add-on.
Go to the Wiki to download: https://sim.bemined.nl/wiki/EOR_%26_Central_Line

The add-ons for the needed rolling stock (in order to use the activities) are included too in the package; the "London" train package, and the VT98 Schienenbus.

Sjoerd wrote: 13 Mar 2021, 22:08 There was a small bug; When a diesel train was on a track where 3rd rail was defined, the AI would not activate the diesel engine, as it did not check if the train has 3rd rail pickups ("train is on a powered track, therefore it must have power"). And as on the Epping-Ongar line in the simulator 3rd/4th rails are present.... the AI-trains in activities would not activate their diesel engines, and would not depart.
@Sjoerd are you talking about this?

If you are running that activity in Metrosimulator 3.16 (instead of 3.16.1), then yes; the VT98 from Ongar will not start moving.
Workaround: at the start of the activity, jump to that train and start the dieselengine yourself, before getting back to your own train.
