Hi there!
I've recently taken an interest in the IC225 sets as of late and was interested in learning about the various driving techniques used when departing stations.
To be clear here, i'm not trying to find a technique that all drivers use, that works in all conditions etc. These techniques will of course vary from driver to driver, be affected by signal aspects, gradients, rail adhesion and perhaps a dozen other factors too.
I'm looking for information on things such as the following:
-When brakes are released
-How much power is applied from a stand still
-How quickly power is increased; are there any vague patterns?
-When the reverser is moved into the direction of travel
Any insight into this topic would be greatly appreciated!
