    Has anyone been able to change the 802 from electric to diesel? I spawned it into the ECML and it appeared with panto up on electric. When I switch to diesel, the panto comes down and I hear the engines spool up, but I cannot get it to move. Note: the brakes do fully release when moving the throttle into power, but I do not hear any engine spool up. If I switch back to electric, I can get the train to move again.

    Try switching to diesel mode and activating the engine using the other cab, I think one side is bugged and doesn't send commands to the engines properly

    Thanks, I will try that. Meantime I tested in the 5 and 9 car variants and it works. So just 10 car and 18 car variants it doesn't seem to work.

    Yes that works, thanks! So enter the other cab, insert master key, reverser to neutral, press start engine, press diesel (hear engine spool up). Then reverser back to off and master key out, switch cab back to first cab and I can move the train under diesel power.
