Hotdognz Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Some trains are using a push (travelling backwards) instead of a pull, its not common for steam engines to push there carriages backwards unless they were shutting in a yard, they never travelled on main lines in England using that method from my research last night. Also all the trains only use 1 track and run through each other, can this be fixed, there are 2 tracks on most lines, it really looks silly when you see it. Cheers

Cheers It was something they did, but at limited speed as the carriages are not really designed for being pushed, usually there was a maximum speed of about 30mph for pushing. Steam locomotives did run backwards a lot, not all lines had a turntable to reverse the direction of the locomotives, usually just a reversing loop so they could get the engine from one end of the consist to the other to pull the coaches back along the line, again there would be a limitation on the speed at which they could do that, but that was more due to the smoke entering the carriages if they went too fast.

Hotdognz Posted June 12, 2020 Author Posted June 12, 2020 Thats the same as the information I read, it seems it was a very limited speed though. it looks a little silly in DCS though.
