DB BR 111 "Hohe Abbrems"?
What does this light mean, it lights up red once I pass about 100kph and in english translates to something like "high deceleration". Does this mean I just have to brake harder if I encounter a PZB magnet or what?

'Hohe Abbremsung' is kind of a security system, which increases the brake cylinder pressure of the locomotives indirect brake when set to either 'P2' or 'R' brake modes. This is due to the fact, that the brake shoes loose effectiveness at higher speeds. It is only working if the locos dynamic brake is deactivated. When 'Hohe Abbremsung' lights up , it shows the driver the system is working correctly and is ready to be used. In TS it doesn't really makes difference though. ;-)

Thanks, loads to learn about German railways as I've never really bought a German route until recently. Much more challenging than UK railways but rewarding when I get a clean run.
