JT 5MT Reverser Stuck

I've just crossed over from MSTS and have now encountred my first problem.
I have the Just Trains Standard 5 and had been using it OK. I knew there were some scenarios with it and wanted to check if they needed any additional stock. Looking for a readme or something similar I clicked on the installer and realised that it wasn't there. I believe it started to uninstall the loco. I realised I had a problem after that because some of the scenarios were no longer visible. Once I had realised what I had done I completely uninstalled it before re-installing. Everything then seemed OK. However, I can now not move the reverser on any of the Standard 5's on any route. All other locos are working normally.
I'd appreciate a pointer in the right direction if possible please.


Thanks,

Paul

Sounds like the reverser lock is on. I don't have it, but if you press 'E' while pressing 'W' or 'S' does it help?

Bingo!
Many thanks for your help there Paul.
Strange why it wasn't a problem originally.

Many thanks for your help.

It's because JT's 5MT, along with their Clan and upcoming Britannia Class, are "Advanced" for more realism so have different characteristics. A reverser lock has been scripted in to prevent reverser creep as happens in real life. This is also a feature on some other addons like VIctory works releases.
