Steam with pilot engine

Post by 1crick14a »

Gent's

This may have been asked before, is it possible to create a pilot engine ( double header )
where you can move front front to train engine.

The little driver icon only seems to want to fit to one engine, I would
like to move from cabs.

I f you want to drive more than one loco do not tick the driver box. So if you are initially wanting to drive the consist engine you will need to left click on that first, then in order to drive the pilot you will have to left click on that loco after you have finished doing what you want with your original consist, I have never tried what you want to do so I can't guarantee it will work? :-? :wink:

Rick,

It sounds like you want to move from the cab in the first loco to the cab in the second loco. Try holding down Ctrl and then press +

If you don't want the second loco to fail, make sure you use autofireman. :)

Thanks MarkPullinger, doing this effects sounds and soon as the train engine regulator is opened.
I wonder if TSim is capable of this setup as yet ??
