    I can make the Vectron move in the training room, but I can't make it move in Spoorlijn (with tanker cars attached).

    Key on, break cut, forward, release break, throttle. Train doesn't move. Lights on auto. I've checked everything I can see that seems like it might be the cause. Released parking break. Raised pantograph.

    Any ideas? Thanks,

    Brake cut in or out ?

    In the Netherlands, the mains voltage is 1500 volts DC. The Vectron defaults to the German 15,000 volts AC. Change the voltage to the correct value in the computer and raise the pantograph. Close the main switch. That's all.

    The Vectron operates on German voltage while in the Netherlands, they use 1.5kv. You need to change the loco’s voltage using the computer.

    Thank you. There are some icons on the screen that describe if the pantograph is down or circuit breaker off. And the blue and red alerts below the dials are useful.
