One for those responsible for the loader code but under Power Types, is it possible to get around to having Steam listed under this at all? We already have Steam as a Speed Class but subject to using the Diesel power type for those timetables with Steam doesn't seem right so would it be at all possible for Steam to make it's debut as a Power Type please?

When you select the Steam speed class it automatically puts the power type as Steam.

No You need to tick Diesel as the power type, then speed class “Steam” will convert it into Steam Log in to reply The following user said thank you: ajax103 |

To clarify a bit, "diesel" really means "self-powered": any traction that can go anywhere and doesn't rely on external power. Originally that was just diesel. Then we added steam. At some point I probably ought to add battery and (yuk) hydrogen. Such trains can run on any piece of track. This is opposed to AC and DC 3-rail and DC 4-rail and DC overhead and tramway power. Plus the four slots to allow individual sims to add more. All of these are, in essence, properties attached to a piece of track that have to match what the train needs.
