    Only some of the class 700 coaches have batteries in them, if you don't include the right ones the train won't be able to turn on. The class 700 coaches should appear in this order in formation designer:
    1 - DMOCB (Cab)
    2 - PTOSL (Pantograph)
    3 - MOS
    4 - TOSW
    5 - TOSLW
    6 - MOS
    7 - PTOSL (Pantograph)
    8 - DMOCB (Cab)
    9 - 8 car formation
    The TOSW and TOSLW coaches have batteries, so if you include one of those in the formation it should work.


    Various trains including the 38 & 72 Stock, 314, 442 from SKA, 483, 484, 4024, M3, M7 however seem to be broken in free roam at the moment and don't work

    Its very simple... The SimuGraph is the same system as a train in reality.... If you exclude some coaches in a train that have a fixed formation you get stuck! A coach/loco train is a different one so i'm talking like the class700 or an ICE3 not a BR101 witch coaches as in reality

    That's the weird thing about it. But when you do the same but in Timetable on foot, than te train has power. It doesn't make sense.

    i have the same issue where the class 314 just reuses to lift their pantagraph up. I clicked the auxiliary set bu buttton for a few seconds then going to raise the pantagraph button. It just refuses to work.

    I've had the same issue today on ECML. I can remember it with the 323 and 700 but normal length units, not formation designer ones.

    Same for me with the 33. Tried to recreate loco and consist of the old Cardiff-Pompeys and it wouldn't take power.

    Oh dear. Then you won't want to see this Marc. ;)
    (Whilst it won't appear correctly in Free Roam, I didn't try to drive it, it does appear in Scenario Editor).

    314 you have to pan down (even though it's already down) then pan up

    Same for the DB BR 187, I tried hooking it up to some IC cars and it won’t budge
