    the middle of the cab car where you drive the loco. It won’t move the train. The red breaks are on even while they are release.

    The middle of the cab car. Where you drive the train itself. The breaks are on even while you release them. Try the middle cab car. Any one of them to see if the train will move. Do not try front or back those work.

    If you mean the cab where two units are coupled together then you can’t drive from there because that would be silly. Drive it from the front like a normal driver would and everything will be good.

    So basically you have an issue because you were messing around . If you just mess around with a game and don’t play it properly then of course something will go wrong

    What do you mean by messing around. Why don’t you try it for yourself. I’ve had this simulator every since it came out. I don’t have time for messing around why don’t you try it yourself and see what I am talking about. Most of the loco you can operate it from the middle where it couple together.

    You actually can drive it on a few other loco. But you can’t drive it on the 377.

    Some of them you can drive while they are couple together in the middle of the cab car. But on the 377 and the other one you can’t. Even Matt or Sam said you can operate them from any cab car.

    You can operate the ice from the middle. The M7 and M3 from the middle. You can operate the 425 422 423. And the 314 from the middle. And the 395 from the middle and the 465 from the middle you can operate all of these loco from the middle but not the 377 and the 375. I am just wondering why.

    That’s all well and good but it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the 377 if you can’t do it with that. I don’t get why you would want to do it either but that’s up to you I guess. People like to do daft things and mess around and that’s fine. Driving it from the middle is definitely messing around though as that isn’t how trains are meant to be driven.

    ...
    You have to be kidding.

    You can't drive from the cabs in the middle.
    The only units you could do that on are shunters or any rear-drive locos.

    It's not an issue. It's you trying to literally mess around.

    Why would you want to operate it from the middle though ? That’s what I don’t understand about this thread , you have an issue because you’re trying to do something that doesn’t make sense

    it make sense if you want to enjoy what you do. Some folk want to operate it from front maybe other in the middle some from behind.

    Why don’t you try and operate other loco from the middle. I just explain you can operate other loco from the middle. But the 377 and 375 you can’t.

    Still something to enjoy. If Matt or Sam said you can do it then you can. And the M7 and M3 and the rest of the loco you can. So I am saying why both the 377 and 375 you can’t.

    You can't on the 314 or the other British EMU units.
    That's on purpose, as if you put Notch 4 power in the rear loco's front cab you'd (in real life) crush the car in front.

    If you are trying to drive from there you are most likely just messing around.

    You have answered your own question. You can’t drive those trains from the middle. Try the front cab. As a bonus you will be able to see where you are going. 99.9999% of players will agree. Or sit in the middle cab going nowhere and continue posting on this thread. It’s hilarious.

    You say that like it's a bug.
    You aren't supposed to drive from the middle (unless shunting). By uncoupling and coupling you confuse the game and it goes into shunt mode.

    Your supposed to drive from the front so you can see.

    I'm confident this is just trolling.

    It's because you. aren't. supposed. to.

    Unless in a specific scenario you are supposed to drive from the front. That's the intention of the game.

    It's not even a thing you can do, you said yourself, you have to re-couple, and confuse the game.

    This thread is a mix of Comedy & Frustration. With an overdose of Trolling.

    Yes you can drive it from the front of course. But you can also drive it from the middle and back. Try some loco and you’ll see what I am saying.

    Why do you even care so much about operating a train from the middle . Just use a different loco

    I already have. You can drive it from the Front & Rear, but not the middle. You have to confuse the game to get it to work.
    You know yourself the controls are LOCKED in the middle cabs.

    If you are speaking on the 377 you can only drive it from the front and middle. But other loco you can do it from the middle I know I had.

    For the last time, and read what I'm saying here before you reply:

    With your technique of Uncouple & Re-couple, you are confusing the game out of locking the controls.
    It is not at all intended to happen.

    The controls are locked in the middle cars, for a reason, whatever it may be.

    There is no bug/issue here, just someone messing around and ignoring VALID. POINTS.

    if that is the case then they should fix it where it shouldn’t be drive able.

    There is nothing to fix.
    It works as intended until someone confuses the game and tricks it into an unintended action.

    If I have to say this one more time-

    It's because you are CONFUSING the game to UNLOCK THE CONTROLS when it is not INTENDED.

    eric7676 tbh at this point no one really cares about what the ‘tech issue’ is . It’s not . Just drop the subject , we don’t want to deal with you complaining about you doing something that TSW2 isn’t designed to do

    If that is the case then why the M3and M7 is drive able in the middle cab. Is that not intended. Or the 422 and 423.
