    Branch Freight Widnes - Speke junction

    whole journey great fun to drive no red lights however the very second you stop at the end marker of the scenerio “I dun see about everything but I never seen an 8f fly” ffs 3rd attempt just to make sure then ticket time already

    So what's the 8F doing at the end?

    I believe he said his 8f Steam locomotive Flew . In laymans terms it derailed and went flying.

    This was a post from JD yesterday

    Heavy braking at low speeds can occasionally cause a derailment when pulling freight wagons (fix found, in testing stages) - it is more harsh than we would like, and the derailment animation physics aren't accurate.

    You can find it in the What you need to know Megathread JD posted yesterday along with other known issues that are being worked on.

    Oh and I've never seen an 8F fly.... YET I hasten to add.

    Yeah I'm glad someone noticed this. I did this exact service and when I slowed down at the end not just the 8f but the whole train derailed and launched in air.

    Hopefully you fix it soon i really love this dlc the sounds and feel of the whole thing ruined by the loco and consist doing a comedy death roll randomly, I now have several videos as proof that’s it random… through freight: edge hill - Nuneaton just slowed down and entered the freight line at 20 mph (no breaks applied fully released and throttle shut) when ping it just falls over sideways!! Also… on the subject of wheel slip on the same route plodding along nicely at 50 when suddenly the speed gauge goes through the roof and I’m doing 300mph! Pictures on the PlayStation throttled back reverser to mid position full brakes when i slid to a stop the loco is still doing 300mph… stationary blue Peter did this broke the drivers arm and blew up didn’t it ?? I waited 15 mins and started again
