Electrified Lines

why do my trains not pick up speed when using electrified lines. For example the Carstairs split, the argle line etc. The locos start off ok then get to about 25 mph then start to slow down. I am using 16mg ram an intel processor. Motherboard is a year old.
Any help would be appreciated..

 

Which loco? Is the line electrified?

 

What is the argle line?
And when Cat asked is the line Electrified he does not mean the OHLE

 

This guide will tell you everything about how to drive a Class 86 / 87.

 

Dougie1974 - Thanks for the plug!!!

 

The Argyle line is the term given to the commuter services that run through Glasgow Central Low Level.

ronald.balneaves Is this WCML North or Suburban Glasgow? Also what train are you using?

 

My guess is the Class 86 on WCML North...

 

I was aware of that but I did not know if the Argle line was the same one - hence my question

I imagine it's just a typo, I read it as Argyle until just now.

 

Hello thanks for your replies. The train is a class 86 and yes it is WCML North. Sorry for typo. Argyle it should be.
my graphic card is a Radeon HD 7850. Proc.Intel core I5 -8400 CPU @2.80GHZ..Motherboard Asus Prime B360M-A.
All other class of trains work well Steam,Diesel , just have problems with Electric/

 

Should also have mentioned Windows 10 Pro with 16 gb memory.

 

Have you tried running any different electric locos such as the class 91, of if you don't have much installed, perhaps the german BR101?

 

OP The Class 86 & 87 uses a different type of throttle to other locos. See post 4 and download the pdf therein for instructions on how to drive them.

 

He's hitting the neutral section just outside of Carstairs.

 

Actually... scratch that. The neutral sections don't work on WCML North... I was thinking of WCMLoS.

Must just be a case of not used to tap changing.

 

I reckon he's just mashing the "A" key, putting it into run up, and then it just faults on him due to excess amps.

 

IIRC the WCMLN doesn't have functioning neutral zones whereas WCML Shap does. Also the 86 doesn't recognise neutral sections whereas the 87 and other locos do.

 

I know see my post above (#15). Also the AP class 86 does see neutral sections.
