Train Sim World 2 - Route Learning: Riesa to Dresden (BR 146.2) // 4k 60fps

In this episode of the route learning series, we take a look at the Nahverkehr Dresden route which comes with the Train Sim World 2 Rush Hour package, and I drive a full run along the route between Riesa and Dresden. Utilising timetable mode in summer with light cloud in a BR 146.2 locomotive, we follow the timetable of train RE50, the 07:45 departure from Riesa through to Dresden, with stops along the way including Glaubitz, Nünchritz, Priestewitz, Niederau, Weinböhla, Coswig, Radebuel Ost, Dresden Neustadt, Dresden Mitte, and finally Dresden Hauptbahnhof - with the total distance for the journey being around 55km, or just under 35 miles.

When in PZB 45kmh starting programme/ restrictive monitoring I heard that actual drivers always drive 40km/h just because of how strict pzb is.

[@PTGRail]

That’s exactly what I thought. I simply don’t trust the train not to trigger a penalty brake application haha XD

[@Acela2163]

That's the rule for all of the pzb modes, 5km/h under the specified limit.

[@ludwigbeilschmidt3766]

To be more specific its a rule in our rulebook. This is because if youre in bad weather and get wheelslip your trains speed gauge may go above the Restriction and stop it.

[@MisterTnT2]

It's so great to see that you are back:) I would love to see a few scenarios in BR days. Like in the 80th with classic diesel traction

[@jasonstouchbury9882]

So glad you are back to you are awesome much love from Essex

Awesome video buddy from Alan in Lowestoft

[@transportationnetwork1324]

When you signed up the 146 the train, doesn't sign up the displays, as it relates to real life where some of the locomotive display signs don't work, and plus there are different from with number ranges. TSW2 give us two options with the 146, I recommend using the 1st train as that one will have the working displays, and the engine will sound different to the other one that you were using in the video. Also you forgot to turn on the headlights as, the train was still on the taillights, I'm not sure how you would work them for PC, as I'm a platform user, like Playstation and XBOX but yeah, other then that the video was great.

[@rogercrick9813]

Another very good and enjoyable video, Peter. The destination did show (correctly) on the DVT at the rear of the train.

[@PTGRail]

I noticed it was on the rear and all the coaches, just not on the loco at the front for some reason.

[@derdicke6254]

Hey ptgrail... I'm always enjoying your videos... Keep them rollin' About the german pronounciation... as a native German I can confirm that Riesa is spoken like 'REESA' In German 'ie' in this order is alwas spoken as a prolonged 'i' which would sound like an english 'ee' (like in sEEk) Whereas a german 'ei' in THIS order would sound like 'aye' in english The German 'eu' syllable within a word like in "hEUte" (which means today) is almost always pronounced like an english 'oy' syllable like in "toy" Don't mean this as a wiseacre here just hoping i could help you a little and i'm looking forward for your next video Howdy 😉

[@PTGRail]

Thank you for this! It’s helpful as I always want to get and get my pronunciations as accurate as possible. I did way better in German at school than French, but have still forgotten most of it! I spend a lot of time in Poland these days, and noticed with some of the pronunciations with “ie” in them I was pronouncing them in more of a Polish than German way. I’ll try and remember everything you said here for future German videos. :)

[@davidwarda5616]

@@PTGRail Hi. I just want to remind you that by default, the train lights are in the Taillights configuration. which means during the whole video, the lights were incorrectly set up. there is a switch behind you that changes the headlight modes.

[@marcod1600]

Nice German railwayline! Good job!

[@noahhunt2003]

@PTGRail There is the full length route from Dresden through Riesa onwards to Leipzig if you want to do a return journey at some point. Great video as always!

[@PTGRail]

Yes I’ve got that in TS. I was thinking of maybe doing it with the vR BR 101! :)

[@Tractor3Thrasher]

Hi ptg i'm currently getting to grips with the German route's, excellent demonstration video on the German signalling btw. Can I ask which may sound obvious answer but do you route learn these routes to know where the braking points are?

[@ncr4ever198]

you get the destionation on the loco if you set it from the cab car at the other end. Thats a mistake made by DTG that the loco PIS doesnt work but they also dont really seem to bothered to fix it.

[@bstafford112]

Risa is from Star Trek we are use to saying risa.

[@therenaissance8322]

24:40 Nope. The HUD is actually correct. What you just passed was a Geschwindigkeitsanzeiger, or a speed indicator in English, and the displayed speed limit comes into force at the points *after* the signal. Post the comment again as KZbin has deleted my previous comment due to it containing links.

[@TheArkamedBat]

I always start in full power (unless i'm on the DB BR 101) to avoid losing time, and I brake really close to the station in full service.

[@PTGRail]

You can’t start in full power on this loco either - the wheels slip. That’s why I was gradually stepping it up instead. As for the braking, I’d never use full service brake normally. Always need that extra braking force just in case! :)

[@N00N01]

Yes but you floor it like shit onto inches inside the speed limit to be on time , its a billion times worse in HRR with the 422/425

[@PTGRail]

@@N00N01 indeed, and I hate it when it encourages unrealistic driving. On this journey I surprisingly made it all on time!

[@zedaanagha6525]

How do you know when to start slowing down for stations without using the in game HUD?

[@lukethomas.125]

@PTGRail are you sure that you turned on the headlights at the front of the train, because it appears to me that you might have left the tail lights on at the front of the train.

[@PTGRail]

I agree with you. But the only other headlight setting is full beam, which you don’t use during the day time. It’s the same with the BR 101.

[@PTGRail]

I just did another test on this in the game. The lights look the same no matter what the headlight switch is changed to!

[@equilat]

@@PTGRail That's strange, I thought you could set this via a selector switch in the loco back panel (it lets you change between tail lights and headlights...).

[@lukethomas.125]

@@PTGRail That's strange. Hopefully it shall be fixed shortly.

[@N00N01]

@@PTGRail in the video and by direct comparison i can surely say that the headlights were set to signal lights insted of headlights(reduced/highbeam) And by goign to freecam in my game i say that the headlughts flashed the rear of train colours

Great videos, really appreciate the work that goes into these. In German 'ie' is pronounced 'ee' and 'ei' is pronounced 'eye'.

could you do video with the ATS Class 185

How old are you Peter(if you don't mind me asking😅) and when is your birthday?

That's a random question! I’m 35, so getting old haha! And my birthday is on the 23rd March. XD

[@johnm2012]

@@PTGRail Not so random. You mention being a teenager in 2002 in the introduction to the video. Enjoy the rest of your thirties as it's all downhill after that! I remember 36 was my favourite age. Incidentally, you share your birthday with German rocket scientist Werner von Braun (1912) and musician Damon Albarn (1968).

[@PTGRail]

@@johnm2012 that’s fair, I forgot I mentioned that haha! I was 14 when Microsoft Train Simulator came out, and at the time it was so amazing to me that I could finally drive a train on my computer with what was at the time really good graphics! I have to say my 30s are by far my favourite decade so far. It’s the decade I stopped giving a shit about what others think and started enjoying and living my life! To think I was 27 when I started PTGRail. My how time has flown!

[@bruh4192]

@@PTGRail Thanks xD

[@salvatoremaglione6398]

What does the blue 85 box symbol mean on the screen?

[@PTGRail]

That's related to the PZB signalling system. As I'm in passenger mode, that's why the 85 lamp is illuminated. What it means in effect is that if I pass an adverse PZB magnet (due to a speed reduction to below 85kph, or a red signal ahead), I have 23 seconds in which to slow the train to below 85kph or else the emergency brakes will be applied.
