Hiya,
My last visit to the forums was a couple of months ago when I found a posting regarding loco braking. It explained how to remove the "running" aspect from Apply...Running...Released. I have searched through some of the postings without any luck although I'm not sure where to start.

So if anyone out there can point me in the right direction it would save me a lot of time, many thanks.........Ken.

Hi Ken

Open the appropriate .eng file for the steam loco using a unicode text editor, Wordpad, Context etc.
Locate the EngineController section and replace Brake_train parameter with the following:

Brake_Train ( 0 1 0.025 0.65
NumNotches( 2
Notch(0 1 TrainBrakesControllerReleaseStart )
Notch(0.5 1 TrainBrakesControllerApplyStart )
)
)

Whilst you`re at it, you may find this of interest.

Regulator ( 0 1 0.05 0
NumNotches( 0 )
)
Cutoff ( -0.65 0.75 0.025 0
NumNotches( 0 )
)

The Cutoff parameter needs to match the CutoffMaxReverse( ) and CutoffMaxForward( ) in the Wagon section of the .eng file. Please note, these changes are for steam locomotives ONLY.

Kindest regards
Ray
