If you turn off "Pantographs" switch both pantos will remain stuck in their current position regardless of "Pantograph I/II"; this is why you've got showered with sparks at 24:10. It's better not to touch "Pantographs" unless you're shutting the locomotive down entirely. Also keeping train brake in "Release & Charge" all the time will ruin the compressors eventually. Release brakes with "Service" to avoid damaging them.

Makes sense now regarding those pantographs...I actually had a slight feeling it was scripted...good to know it was just me afterall 😅 Thanks!

As long as you are "in a dangerous place" you are in the 40Kph Max zone. It will always say "speed up" once allowed. The warnings will always pop up regardless if you are already following what it says. It seems that taking care of your Loc makes absolute sense in this game. On a first try with this game I had to restart after about an hour because no matter what I did, I would not get any brakes, they wouldn't refill no matter what I did, even not from cold start. I had been careless with train and brakes and suffered. The second playtrhough I am doing now is going much better (when it comes to driving the train, I am currently at a point that is really really hard... well, for me... Fun.... but gawddanged.... a "why?" situation to say the least.) In fact I am a bit further than where you currently are in the series and my engine is only slightly starting to show yellow parts, no orange parts as of yet. Use your Loc breaks not your main brakes when just running the engine without wagons. Using the proper tools for the job (in this instance using the correct brakes) prolonges their lifespan. It will take a bit of practice to find the right settings with it. With the main brakes, I would say pay attention to how they slow down your train. If you get the hang of it, everything can be done without ever going to braking II. I am actually somewhat impressed by the train simulation in this game. 24:15 I am not sure why but you lights (or rather lack thereoff) at 24:05 indicate that the power is not off and either one or both panths are up. I won't say it is Aliens but.... (read "aliens" as "user error'). It is not entirely clear to me as in some shots it seems the switches are indeed down . But I also haven't seen you raise them and they are up once you stop. I think editing or use of hotkeys makes this impossible for me to see what actually is going on here. But as said... lights indicate power being on. As for the "Optimal" throttle setting. Be carefull without speedometer, it WILL put you over the speedlimit. 27:23 I actually laughed out loud when you said to be glad the bear was not alive...... I am probably a lousy shot but the pistol did not help me at my first try. The Kal however... great against bears. You can skin it btw giving meat and a pelt. (you can shoot and skin deer as well). You will of course need to have a knife equiped for that. As said, there are some fun missions coming up but especially the one I am at now is kinda hard (again, I am a lousy shot but I think that might not be the only reason, once you reach that you know what I mean :). I think that specific mission lacks a certain degree of fairness heheheheh. You will love it and hate it I am sure. Given you pace in the videos that is however at least three or four episodes away. there might come a point you actually have an excess of weapons, there should be a person at the shop areas that will buy them. For now it will not be the case but it might be handy to know right? I do not know if every shopping area has one. I did not check. 32:5 3 scuse me? you can play the dang thing? Yay... I learned something today. And yes, the song is probably copyrighted. According to my song detector it is the song "Night Wizard" by Battalion of Eternity. I listened to it on Tube and that seems to be correct. I had a "user error" with the mine mission resulting in my demise. Not gonna tell what happened but if you make the same user error it will be hilarious. Now... I am kinda stupid so I doubt it will happen to you but a man can dream can he? :P Edit: Oh right, reload... I think if you didn't change the key it will be the trusty "R" key. Of course anything I say is for when the game operates as intended. Given it is an EA release, bugs might screw you over.

Excellent comment and info, thanks so much! It's making me kinda nervous for the next episode...it will be dropping on my channel shortly 😅 I will need to learn to 'finesse' the controls a lot more I think, because of the wear and tear aspect. Fingers crossed! And thanks again, I really appreciate it! P.S. Good thing I didn't play the radio for too long then...haha
