A few Intercity using Traxx?

[Christophe]

 

Hello,

to make the traffic for the TLK/IC trains a bit more interesting, you could add the E186 to the IC trains.

Example: Since the E186 is sometimes seen in front of EN trains, you could create an IC (not EC or TLK) that spawns like the EIP from Krakow and then runs the same route to Warsaw Wschodnia with IC cars. This way you have an IC that can travel faster than 125 km/h and thus a new train type is added.

Stops can be: Włoszczowa Północ, Opoczno Południe, Warszawa Zachodnia, Warszawa Centralna, Warszawa Wschodnia

Agreed, ep07 is way too boring.

Tell that to the real drivers, most of the trains in Poland are operated by those locomotives.

Not in Poland. There are a few EU47 in Koleje Mazowieckie's commuter service with push-pull DoSto carriages and that's about it with Traxx locos in passenger service.

Pfffft,  the EU/EP07 is the train i have driven for about 95% of my time on SimRail, done over 4000 Km in it, it's bloody amazing.
It's an amazing train where you need to think about operating it, not just push a lever and let the computer do the rest.

"EU07 is very boring"

Something's not right in this phrase. 😅

EU07/EP07 is challenging. There is no automatic driving and braking control as in the Traxx trains or Dragon. I also enjoy it extensively and it is the most used train of mine 😄
 

Should be just a suggestion to max out the speed on the Line 4... If we had a EP09, there should be no Problem to reach out the 160.. But to drive on an "Highspeedline" with a Trackspeed of 200, but only drive an EC with 125 feels wrong 😄

Also  Przewozy Regionalne was using a few Traxx from Railpool?
 

But a few Traxx was used...

Traxx sometimes occur on the EC trains operating between Warsaw and Berlin. They are like gold dust tho.

On the other hand, EP07 are not frequent visitors of the CMK line, so neither Traxx-hauled nor siódema-hauled ICs and TLKs are realistic. From a gameplay perspective, restricing the EP07s to the Gliwice - Kielce / Skarżysko Kamienna TLKs would ultimately be a good idea (especially when taking the discussion about custom timetables into consideration). For now, switching a few ECs to be hauled by Traxx locos would also provide some diversity.

What about in 2018? how often did the EP07's run then? 

I only drive the trains in SimRail, but i'd have thought that if every train on the line ran at 160 or 200 kph it'd get pretty boring for the dispatchers,  surely some of the fun is slotting in the slower running trains between the fast ones, trying to jiggle things so as not to slow the faster trains down too much, but also not delaying the slower trains either,

I like this Idea! there can also an IC added from Krakow to Warszawa with EP/EU07, so you will have on the CMK EP07, Traxx and Pendolino running.

This means more traffic on the CMK between Psary and Warsaw, which means more work for the dispatchers.

Its not booring, but the fact, that both TLK dont has any stops on the route to Kielce and Skarżysko Kamienna are boring 😄 Sosnowiec Poludniwoy was cancelt... maybe adding some stations to the Trains like Poludniowy back as Passenger Stop and maybe Dabrowa Wschodnia Wolbrom and Kozlow?

We plan to add new IC from Tunel do Warszawa with TRAX and few passenger cars with maximum speed of 140 km/h.

Thank you so much!

I just playing around with the scenariofiles ->

Nice job! You should jump on the official SimRail Discord server (there are links here on top of the forum), there are channels dedicated to the discussion of scenario creation. I have actually been digging in quite deep into them and have discovered quite a lot already, and I will gladly help you with any questions.
