The New Technology is a blessing, but you gotta know how to use it properly. You have to first study the weight and size of the car. It is easier to handle a B-Division car (Lettered Lines) than an A-division car (Numbered Lines) because they are heavier, therefore easier to control. So operating an R142 will be different from operating an R160. This is where the breaking system comes in. In order to become a pro at this job, you have to learn how to deeply respect the speed limits and signals. A division lines have it different than the B division lines.

The Old Technology trains are great, because they have been around so long that everyone is used to manual operations. They may be slightly harder, but require the same advice. For me, I am used to the older technology, but it has similar steps to the automatics. When starting a train, it is recommended to follow this:

Release the break, but slowly start on P1 for the throttle which is to the left of the red snow break. Then you slowly advance your way to full throttle. When you have reached a speed around the speed limit, neutralize (N) the throttle, and once you come in close to a station, slowly break the train, and try to get a perfect stop, or at least in the range of the stop marker that you must stop at. Make sure that you apply a slight break on the train before you are ready to take off.

Its good to see a train operator that has a very smooth ride, and its not so good to see a train operator that breaks hard. :P

Any other information, just PM me...

Playing around is also a good way to start off, thats how i did it when I first came across BVE 2/4. Some people might not really understand some stuff, so i just put this in tips to start off well...

STREETRIOT:

thats a good tip for the newbies.they would have so much to learn.they just have to remember its not all about operating a train, sign signal and safety plays a major part

D train:

can someone help me using routebuilder.I want to make the I train,from fort lee,Nj,to rahway avenue nj,or woodbridge.COme to me  for future details.
