RTM Trainline Monitor (TLM)

🔧 Main Features

🏷️ Integrated Tag Display

TLM keeps the normal Railroader tag style intact while adding useful operational information directly into the tag.

• []Keeps reporting marks and MPH readable[/]

  []Adds status indicators inside the existing tag area[/]

  []No floating clutter[/]

  []No extra windows required[/]

  []Designed to look and feel close to vanilla Railroader UI[/]

🚦 Real-Time Trainline Status Indicators

TLM adds quick visual indicators for important car and locomotive conditions:

MU  = Multiple Unit connected

AH  = Air hose / brake pipe issue

HB  = Handbrake applied

JB  = Oil level below 25%Color-coded indicators make issues easier to spot during switching and train handling.

🔴 Air Hose / Brake Pipe Detection

TLM helps identify air hose and brake pipe issues directly from the tag.

Useful for spotting:

• []Disconnected air hoses[/]

  []Brake pipe issues[/]

  []Cars not properly connected into the trainline[/]

  []Problems that would otherwise require inspection or menu checking[/]

🟣 Handbrake Indicator

TLM shows when a car has a handbrake applied.

This makes it much easier to find:

• []Forgotten handbrakes[/]

  []Cars that will not roll properly[/]

  []Cars causing switching problems[/]

  []Stopped cuts that are being held unexpectedly[/]

🟢 MU Connection Indicator

For locomotives, TLM can show MU status so you can quickly tell when units are connected for multiple-unit operation.

Helpful for:

• []Locomotive consists[/]

  []Multiplayer operations[/]

  []Checking MU setup without digging through menus[/]

🚂 Locomotive Stats Display

TLM includes locomotive-focused information for train handling and operational awareness.

Depending on your settings, locomotive tags can show useful stats such as:

• []Train length[/]

  []Train weight[/]

  []Connected train information[/]

  []Operational status details[/]

🚃 End-Car Train Length / Weight Display

TLM can show train length and weight on stopped end cars.

This avoids clutter by only showing the information where it is useful instead of displaying it on every single car.

Example display:

12 cars 642 ft 910tThis feature:

• []Only shows on stopped cars[/]

  []Only shows on end cars of a connected cut/train[/]

  []Does not display on every middle car[/]

  []Helps with switching, blocking, and train building[/]

  []Keeps tags readable[/]

🦶 Car Kicker / Connect Air Radial Controls

TLM includes an optional built-in Car Kicker feature for faster swit
