I think the brakes are delayed a little after applying. It's been awhile since I've driven that route.

similar experience no train brake and if safety tripped could not get to reset would be the hardest shunt have handled so far but well done

Cool, keep it going. :)

Made it! Ran without using train brake - left at 17%. Take me a long time as I was keeping speed down due to the lack of train brake, using only dynamic and loco brake. Great Stuff! On to #4...

Cool, let me know how it works out.

Yep. Ran scenario #3 with brakes on 17% from the beginning and essentially let the train stop itself when needed, now and again using dynamic and loco brake. No problems there. Might try #2 again now.

If I remember right if you leave the brake on around 20 to 24% and never release it you can still apply throttle, it is much easier to manage speeds and also the dynamic brake helps at times. The dynamic brake takes a little bit to engage so just watch the HUD and you notice and also heard when it is applied.

Stuck. Train brakes wont come off. Brake pressure keeps rising and won't come down even with loco off. A DTG problem with this loco. Otherwise scenario is great as usual, but I don't feel like restarting this one.

I clear my cache when i get coupling problems when in-game. seems to help.

atlast completed.. had a lot of trouble when i was shunting the empty hoppers to the quarry siding the loco was derailing everytime. and even the coupling was showing red. after a bit of trial and error and coupling and uncoupling placed the empty hoppers just on the siding as well as on the main track.. seemed to do the trick. could continue with the locos to stop at just beyond gold hill siding..

i think it would be perfect on the Kanas city route solider summit and sherman hill

Yes it was.

guess what the EMD SD9043MAC locomotive was released today

Thanks Warren, I think I used the dynamic brakes a lot.

This was rather tricky due to those dodgy brakes, heavy loads, and occasional slopes.
However, I finally completed it ok.
Thanks again RB, cheers, Warren.

I found a sweet spot but I cant remember the settings I used.

i keep trying to play this one but i noticed the locomotive brakes stay at 20% and one go to zero percent witch kinda sucks because its very hard to stop it takes for ever

Thanks kp, very welcome.

A toughie, but a goodie! Thanks, RB!

I know what you mean, I just try using all kinds of combos when having trouble on any route until I figure it out, try the B&O route, real fun on that one. :)

Finally Completed it i am really Struggling with this Loco and its Braking Followed your Advice and used Dynamic Brakes and Train Brakes. There were a few Curses along the way Though Ha Ha. Thank You.

Cool. :)

Finally got to work.

You might have played the old version. I removed all the AI and re-uploaded last month.

Got a reported collision just as i was about to pick up Empties from Storage, i was playing in 64Bit mode Thanks.

If you see a loco running on the southern part of the route then thats the old version. I removed it and a loco up in the Salisbury yard. Only running loco is the one you are driving. Best way to remove the scenario is to go into the build menu, pick SCENARIO, find the route then scenario and delete it then re-download.

OK, I d/l this off the workshop which said that it was the corrected version,

Your still playing the old version because I removed ALL AI trains. :)

Still got a AI derailment at the same location
