Most of my friends that drive mainly HUD free, spend many hours getting to know the routes intimately in order to overcome difficulties like the one you've raised. But good on you for going without the HUD, I try from time to time on some of the more (HUDless) friendly locos but it's still not easy. If anyone-else has alternative easier in-game methods, then I also would be delighted to read about them. you'll now how long timewise it takes for the rear end of the train to travel past that 'interest' point at different speeds (and fortunately in most countries there are not that large a number of common speed limit change permutations).

Clock watching, if you know the length of your train, will also help as with a bit of experience i.e.

It's a painful case of very good familiarity of your route, as the real-life drivers here would say getting to know your route inside out, when you'lll know the precise location of all speed limit changes across the whole length of your route.

The other is to have a good feel for the overall length of your train, and to look for an object marker (anything will do, another sign, start of bridge, billboard, familiar building etc) and) ahead of the train & new speed limit) that as soon as you reach marks the end of your train. The first is to use the exterior cab view of the rear view end of the train (I guess the equivalent of having a guard in an old brake van, or colleague engineer in a real trailing loco/DVT to report when the back of the train has passed a particular point). These are becoming increasingly commn to see in the game with locos that have this feature in real life, in models that have been developed for the game over the last couple of years.īut otherwise to the best of my knowledge you've got two potential options, both requiring a fair amount of skill and dexterity. where you press the cab button just as the front of the train passes your speed limit sign, and the system will buzz when the end of the train reaches the same point (the new speed limit sign). I'll assume you're familiar with the train length button that is available on quite a few of the modern locos (UK, US & German) i.e. But these I believe are your basic options: I'm afraid no super easy options, unless you're lucky enough to have a loco with a magic button mentioned in next paragraph.
