I'm inclined to agree with zmil - the station nnouncement, nice as it is, does not add to the locomotive driving experience.

If the momentum is set back to a very low value you could induce real wheelslip but then the actual driving experience suffers a bit. It would be nice if there was a way to toggle the momentum between two settings, one high and one low. I know the NCE controller can override momentum settings on the fly but it is not really quick enough to suit what I had in mind.

Any thoughts on that?

Martin and Richard, I didn't mean the station announcements were in any way a bad thing, just that, given what Richard posted earlier, if a sound had to be dropped, the station announcement is not really a part of the driving experience, as opposed to the overall atmosphere, to which it does contribute rather nicely.

Even so, anyone is welcome to disagree because it is just a personal opinion.

The momentum toggle could be a nice enhancement for when I chip an unrebuilt West Country.
