Static loco with wheels spinning?

Post by ttjph »

I've been trying my hand at creating a scenario, and it's mostly there but for one minor but annoying issue.

I've placed a static Black 5 as though it had earlier brought in the rake of coaches the player will use, at the end of the platform, and whilst it doesn't go anywhere its driving wheels are spinning (backwards towards the coaches, if it makes any difference).

Have I forgotten to set something?

I can't help with the solution but I've seen the same thing in other scenarios so it's not just you.

Glad I'm not the only person with this problem. Had a 2P do it after being moved about and a Black 5 as well.
If only all problems on the big railway could simply be TAB'd past...

The Black 5 does it in Failed Pines, a Bulleid light pacific scenanio, and in Cathedral Special, an 8F scenario, the loco you pick up to move in the yard - another Black 5 I think - in the first stage of the run does it, too.

I am not sure if this is the same problem or not, but I was driving the class 09 shunter with load 20 (either HAA's or HTA's, whichever is the smaller one) which seemed to be struggling too much, so I uncoupled it to swap with a class 60, but as I drove away accelerated really slowly, I then shut the throttle off to investigate the problem, only for it to stop going forward and roll back towards the wagons!
