Sand Patch Grade is a great route but when I launch a timetable mission the train doesn't move at all. I believe its because theres to many cars being pulled at once and it starts me off on a 0.6% slope/hill. its fun but just needs to be fixed ASAP.
It's not only me I see it's very annoying when that happens I cant even move but I'll try again later
Yeah the only way to get this specific locomotive moving is to go into the engineers main screen. Most trains the cut in/cut off valve is usually visible but in this train the only way to cut in the valve is by going into the engineers main screen screen and click 1 then cut in the breaks by pressing f3 save the changes by pressing f6 then exit The screen. Once you do that. Release your brakes and the train should move. It’s a weird way to cut in your brakes but it’s the way the train was designed i guess lol.
Also make sure you’re setting up your locos for MU operations (especially if there’s a helper at the rear of the train, turn on the banking comm). If done correctly, starting on a .6% grade should be no problem even with 50 fully loaded cars
