Oops.... Yes you are absolutely right. Multiply by 375.

OK, I think I may have found some more. I just finished play "Age of Steam II". 1. From time to time when I am in the "ledger", "company overview" I am presented with a pop up window with a description of one of the characters in the game. Sometimes I can get out of it ...

Here's a little trick I learned by accident. Perhaps you guys know about it already, but here goes. How often hasn't it happened to you that you need to get into a train station owned by a different company, but it is single track and the other company is running a gazillion trains through there. As...

Ah, thank you. I couldn't imagine I was the first person to notice that :)

By the way, can someone explain to me exactly when the "customs house" comes in to play? At the first station in a different territory?

OK :) I define a "bug" as strange behavior that doesn't occur in 1.05. In "Farewell to steam" in the game status tab, the entire page is covered in "You have been playing for [x] and have until the start of 1961". Where [x] is fill in the number of years. If you turn th...

Sorry if this has been covered before, but where should I report bugs in 106 beta 4?

Very interesting! Does this mean that diesels often don't have the same Adhesion Ration as steam locomotives, which I gather is ideally 4, but ought to?

It seems that I have been conservative with #2. That as been partly for purpose, because I want to avoid making super engines. At the same rate I am going to have to de-rate the P-2 a bit. Not a popular move, I suspect but accuracy before all. If memory serves it is a bit stronger than 17 at the mo...

Yes, I find it odd that Tractive Effort (TE) doesn't appear to be involved in the numbers of RT3 locomotives. At least I have not yet been able to find where that comes in. I have the formula for Tractive Effort at home. Very interesting. As I understand it the Adhesion Ratio (AR) is Weight on Drive...

OK, these are the figures I am getting: USRA 0-8-0 Cylinder horsepower: 1801 Value 2: 15.01 uncorrected, 15.76 corrected. The "corrected" value simply adds a percentage. Works for the H10 (H6) and Big boy, but as you correctly say: use your own judgement. M2 4-8-0 Cylinder horsepower: 2468...

There are flaws though in these calculations, something I will have to look into more deeply. For example, formula 1 gtives us cylinder horsepower. Formula 2 takes drawbar horsepower as input. Not the same thing. Also, for some engines I have (historic) numbers for drawbar and cylinder horsepower. D...

How in the earth you did figured out all this calculation Luck. I knew there had to be some logic or formula for this, because you don't just come up with something like "6.3" or "17.7". I have played around with these numbers so often and always hit a brick wall. This time I wa...

Hey there folks, long time no see. I do apologize for my "on again, off again" appearance in this forum. Turning to my area of special interest: LCO files. I seem to remember that the elusive "Value 1" and "Value 2" were determined to be "Weight of train that can b...

Cashew nuts.
