RE: Jet Train Coupler

Hi, I believe the Test car in real life was a conversion car, standard N american coupler on one end and Jet train coupler on the other.
But i agree it would be cool to run the test set i saw.
VIA telus F40, ex amtrak car and the jet train unit.

The sign on the second picture is funny. ...or is that just the sugar talkin'?

This is the Orange Line train bound for Pattison, the next stop is Walnut-Locust, stand clear of the closing doors.

>The sign on the second picture is funny. Which sign? Do not hump(what does it mean anyway)? Or Do not uncouple?

--You are reading my signature now, don't waste your time reading it!--
Eh, where did my signature go?
Oh, here it is, the one you are reading right now? Can't you see it? I know I know, it is probably too bright to see it.
Anyway, I told you not waste time reading my signature! You have just wasted 10 seconds!

Do not hump means that the car is not to be sorted in a hump yard.A hump yard is a special sorting yard where cars roll down a slight hill and are sorted into various sidings or built into trains (normally by a computer). The cars roll down a small hill and hit sets of track brakes that bring the cars down to a set speed so they don't derail or cause damage to other cars they may be coupling to.It's a big timesaver. As of yet there is no simulation available for this in MSTS, but TRS2004 is supposed to have a hump yard feature.Tim Frost

RE: Jet Train Coupler

Why can't it be hum... Hold on, that could be taken out of context REAL easy ! Why can't it go in to the hump yard?

RE: Jet Train Coupler

Well, for one, it's a locomotive.
I could just see some moron running that thing over a hump yard. Watching it merrily run through the retarders, switches and then end with a resounding CRUNCH against some freight cars as another car crushes in behind it.
