Drive an cargo train from Sosnowiec Dandowka, via Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice, to Dąbrowa Górnicza Towarowa, including shunting

[jeroezie]

Hello all,

I have created this cargo scenario. Your train is standing at Sosnowiec Dandowka and unfortunately can't continue towards Dorota due to 'logistical difficulties'. So your train got rerouted via Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice to keep other traffic flowing around Dorata. To start, run the locomotive around the train at Sosnowiec Dandowka, wait for the train coming from Sosnowiec Południowy to arrive and depart towards Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice. After arrival their, run the locomotive around again so you can finally depart towards Dąbrowa Górnicza Towarowa.

Please be aware, that the Towarowa cargo yard does not exist in the game world. The scenario will finish a bit before leaving the properly made part of the world. I hope that you don't mind spotting a bit of unfinished scenery in the background. Its not supposed to be able to get their al all, that also explains why I had to use some trickery to let the train pass signal Koziol C.

Setting up shunting routes at Dandowka does not work everywhere yet, so some tricks are used. This gives at some signals a different HUD indication than the signal displays. A signal can safely be passed, if the dispatcher tells you, that the signal can be passed or the signal displays a clear indication, when the HUD does not.

You can choose to do the scenario with an EU07 locomotive, the train will be 457 m long, 1356 tons heavy. Or with an Br 186, 530 m and 1680 tons. The ET22 is also an option, 561 m long and 1939 tons. The EU07 and Br 186 trains run with the waggons in P brake setting, the ET22 is in G setting.

A brake sheet and timetable are provided in the game files. For the retro locomotives, a cheat sheet for doing the cabin change can be found on the backside of the in game timetable.

I would like to thank all who provided help on the Discord server with all my questions when making the scenario.

I hope you like the scenario! I am interested in all your feedback so I can improve my scenarios and if you encounter a bug, please let me know.

Installation: unzip one of the .zip files in the 'Scenarios' folder, which can be found in any existing scenery folder (1_KatowiceWarszawa or 2_StaszicSedziszow).

I'm trying to do the scenario with the ET22 locomotive, but I can't apply power with the steering wheel, even though I've followed all the steps in starting the locomotive.
Is there a problem with the ET22 in this scenario or is it my mistake?

Where are you in the scenario? Personally, I have made many mistake when changing cabins. Have you checked, that you did not forget something when changing cabins?

I'm right at the beginning, I've uncoupled the wagons and set up the locomotive, but I can't apply power with the steering wheel, the locomotive slides slowly downhill on the terrain, the amp count is always at zero

[jeroezie]

Can you send a picture of all the indicator lamps and meters of the cabin, please? I did not do anything to cause such an thing.

[JLPlaying]

This only happens to me in this scenario, when I put the steering wheel in position 1, the blue light on the left of the steering wheel does not turn off, and the number of amps does not go above zero. I have tested it in a different scenario and this does not happen to me.

[jeroezie]

It seems all right. Have you been in the rear cabin? The game likes to do things over their if you are only walking trough it or changing the shunting lights. Especially with the reverser, train brake lever or radio splitter.

Ok, I've seen the problem. In the rear cabin, the reverser was applied in the "forward" position. I left it in "neutral" and now the locomotive has power. I hope to enjoy this scenario a lot, thank you very much for your work, I encourage you to continue creating new scenarios.

Hi, I can't finish ET22. When I turn the train around at Dabrowa Gornicza Zabkowice station and get ready to roll, the exit light at this station is red and doesn't change colour. The dispatcher is talking to another train, 441051, but he doesn't tell me anything and I get tired of waiting for the light to change. Did I do something wrong? Is there a time limit to get to that point (I was 6 minutes late)?

[jeroezie]

Theire is no time limit. The 441051 is not important at all, its only a scenery train with a route that does not conflict with the players route. Afther running the locomotive around for departure towards Huta Katowice, you will have to waith until 16:04, then a pendolino towards Warsvhaw should show up. Afther that one has passed, the signaller should ask for your conformation that you are ready to depard, you should call back and your train route gets set up. Did the pendolino show up? Was their an passenger train standing still towards Katowice?

No hay límite de tiempo. El 441051 no es importante en absoluto, es solo un tren de escenografía con una ruta que no entra en conflicto con la ruta de los jugadores. Después de poner en marcha la locomotora para salir hacia Huta Katowice, tendrá que esperar hasta las 16:04, luego debería aparecer un pendolino hacia Warsvhaw. Después de que haya pasado, el señalero debe pedirle que le confirme que está listo para pagar, debe volver a llamar y se establece la ruta de su tren. ¿Apareció el pendolinio? ¿Era un tren de pasajeros parado en dirección a Katowice?

The Pendolino did not appear, I waited for more than 15 minutes at the traffic lights and there was no train running. My train was already ready to leave for Huta Katowice and there I stayed.

I tried, for me the signaller DGZ cleared the signals after he asked for ready for departure conformation and I called the signaller back. Did you experience this problem once or multiple times?

[Fritschie]

Which radio channel should I use, it is set to 5 and when I press ZEW 3 nothing happens.

[jeroezie]

In my scenario, it does not matter what channel is used or you use zew 1 or 3 (in most other scenario's it does matter). Where were you standing?

[Hamster Cheeks]

Many thanks for creating this scenario. Very enjoyable with plenty of Ai, lots of cab and radio changing 👍
