BTB Activity Problem

Post by welshdragon »

Hello All,

I am running activity 'pouring oil on trouble water' on the BTB Route.

I am using IJ_Class47_D1501/ UKTS_22074_IJ_D1501 as the class 47 which is waiting at Worcester sidings which you have to eventually use to continue the journey.

However the only way I can move the the D1501 or any othe class 47 that I use is 100% throttle and it only moves about 6 mph, shut the throttle and it stops immediately and as for trying to move the train after coupling up is virtually impossible.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Regards.

Alan

I had the same problem and never found out the cause.

Eventually I swoped the loco for different one.

I should have added that all the 47's I have tried all work perfectly in Explore mode.

I know this isn't much help, but there was a similar problem with Jur's J15, but in AI mode. It was eventually traced to the eng file. You could try copying the eng file from a known good class 47, obviously changing the name and all the data in it so it refers to the right "s" file, right loco name etc. and see if that cures it.

Thanks Both,

I thnk my initial problem was not restarting the Activity. I replaced the loco in the consist and tried to carry on where I left off but having started from scratch and a replacement class 47 all is now OK.
