Why does it break?

When running on the S&C somewhere after Dent there are water troughs
press y when running along then to pick up water, if you press y elsewhere it breaks the scoop

Ive parked it half way thought the buffers before its crashed. Somethings not quite right with my MSTS.

LOL, I like the way you put that!

Whenever I get within about 5 foot of the buffers on mine the train derails!

I expect its related to bounding boxes. The real life rule is that you should stop 6 ft short of buffers.

I've been runnning Track tests with a modified deltic and Carriages.

eg, will do 6.5 thousand miles per hour.

with carriages. But it
s only for fast ttrack testing.

Caused some spectacular explosions on msts, and also a few lost carriages. eg, Back carriage going for a trip into Outer space.

but so far it passing the rough drivers tests.

Mightt give It ultimate test soon.... ITR lol (Introductary Train Ride)

Happens on the Supercharged Dash 9 as well, which can do Marias Pass in less than 10 minutes, and less than 5 minutes if it is by itself, as in no trailers!
