Thanks

I have a question about the driving of the Class 86/87. I thought that I'd got the hang of driving these, but clearly I haven't. I was playing one of the Class 87 scenarios and the locomotive suddenly stopped drawing power after I had tried to reduce the throttle by tapping. I hadn't overloaded the amps and was firmly in the green, but the train soon stopped and I couldn't get it moving again. I didn't have a fault and everything on the dashboard seemed normal. Does this happen when the throttle goes into the off position whilst at speed? How do I get the train moving again when the throttle goes dead?

Hi
If you put the throttle in the off position when the loco is moving then you need to let the tap indicator drop down to 0% then you can regain power

The throttle dropped to 0% automatically though from about 33% at around 60mph, and then I couldn't get it off 0% either whilst the train was still moving or when stopped, hence not being able to move the train. I'm confused.

Not sure if a 'Loco Fault' could be part of a scenario - one of the Scenarios I was using the other day had an Emergency Brake Application.

If it happens again
Move Power Handle to OFF
Push Pan Down - then Pan Up

Try again for power.

I have a question - why are there two transformer tap gauges in the cab of these locos? Only the left hand one seems to do anything - and the other would seem to be unneccesary anyway.

Any ideas?

I've had a regular issue with the WCML-N 86 (not sure about the separate DLC version) where, after you go to Off from a high tap-changer position, it runs down part of the way but then gets bored and stops.

You can't take power until it's reached tap 0, but I've found that briefly going back to Run Down (29%) and then returning to Off gets it running down again; once it's reached 0 you can go back to Hold and then resume driving as normal.

In short: always watch the tap-changer meter!

The second one is to show the state of the tap changer on a loco working in mutliple with the driven one but is only a dummy in the sim.

Thanks, Andy - I did wonder if it was something like that

Hi folks,

I'm wondering if there is anyone working on a BR Blue skin for the Class 87?

I imagine RSC are doing just that for you and you'll be able to part with another £12 for it some time in October.
