Here’s a thread for everyone to post what they’ve learned about getting the 4/4 moving in the right direction when it’s parked on a serious gradient.
Quite easy. Move the weel to 10 km/h and then release the brake. The locomotive have a Quick respond once the brake is fully released.
Dynamic brake on 100% when the train starts to descent the 6% grades, then regulate the speed with the vaccum brake.
Be aware, to much dynamic will derail the train. Because the coaches is not braking and there is a chance they will start to climb on the couplings. If you also use the train brake a littlebit then you got a smoother braking thruout the train.
Wheel to 0.5 acceleration before you fully release the vacuum brake. There is sand but I never use it.
