when i go to the rear loco on the back then go back to bittern it will either not move or moves rapidly after putting the regulator into 50% and the wheels dont move so it just glides along the rails. but before i go to the rear loco it works all fine. :-? any help will be usefull.

Thanks

Hi,
Could you give us a little more information. I've just tried this good-looking loco by Dave Robinson without problem. Maybe you are running an Activity - if so, which one?

Cheers,
Ged

Hi
the loco im using on the rear is a diesel class 67 (67016) im on Dorset coast V6 and just on the explore route option both i have edited the .ENG file for both loco's for the steam loco i changed the max power and max force which was copied and pasted from tornado's ENG to give it more chance to coast with out dropping speed in like 2MPH every time it drops when the regulator is on 0% and changed the the water and coal lines to something like 100000000 each so i dont ever run out of coal or water when i use explore route (i prefer to use explore route rather than activities because it seems more fun in my opinion) for the class 67 i edited the .ENG file for "1000000" diesel and use 1 gallon of diesel per hour and the same for diesel usages at idle per hour the class 67 i dont think the 2 locos are AI and are player driveable

Hi,
Altering the physics in this way is going to unbalance the loco's performance viz. If you try to use the steam loco loaded with thousands of tons of coal and water , is it any surprise that it won't work correctly?
The best thing to do here is to restore the original .ENG files and perhaps alter the realism settings under the options menu to suit. A full tender of coal and water and travelling light should take you quite some miles on Dorset. Perhaps you should try the activities after all!
