    Hello. I'm driving this loco in NEC for shunting operations. Already completed one service with no problems, but I really can't complete the "Building Empire" service. As soon as I hook the first 3 Amfleet cars, I can't move the train in any directions. I just move the reverser to "forward", but nothing happens. It seems the throttle doesn't work. Do I miss something or there is a glitch? Thanks!

    Is it the throttle or have you got a brake on? I haven't run one of these services for a while but almost sure there is a wait for the brakes to come off both the loco and the coaches

    Brakes are off. The throttle doesn't work. I waited a bit but nothing changes.

    I noticed that as soon as I couple loco and cars, the yellow alert icon on the HUD lights up...

    Reset the PCS and wait a bit. The icon will disappear after a while and you can go again. I´ve had this happen sometimes aswell, not exactly sure what i did wrong to cause it though:

    Yeah that’s it the PCS. That’s what I was trying to remember above when I mentioned waiting for the brake to come off

    I've had this happen to me a few times lately as well as I only recently acquired the DLC. Does someone know what PCS is and why it has to be reset? Also, why do you have to reset the PCS every time you start the switcher? I figure there'll probably be someone on here that will have an real world (or at least TSW) understanding of it.
