Hi Everyone
Simsig is one of my favourite games but unfortunately I'm french. I have no problem with the game but I like to see pictures of trains I use in the game. I've found a great deal of them but not the freight ones like for instance D 715 (train number 4A11) in C.scotland. What does that mean. Is D 715 a locomotive type? I can't find something on the web about that. Could you help?
Thanks

Thanks Sacro

And here's a picture of it last year (now changed ID to 4A13 but would have looked more or less the same in 2006.)

Usually a Class 66 but sometimes 2 x Class 66.

D715 is really for the benefit of "real" TT writers, employed by Network Rail. It let's them know how a train might be expected to perform, over a given section of route. Obviously, D715 would perform better (starting & hill climbing) than a D1000 but, worse than a D500.
