    Hi
    Does this happen to anyone else when operating a steam locomotive on scenario planner when you are casually driving a long and all of a sudden the game stops and the reason is a service failure when you have done nothing to fail it. Dovetail games really need to sort this issue out as I love playing with the steam locomotives but I can't because of this reason I hope that this issue does not happen when the 4f loco comes out.

    I think Matt may have said something previously about it defaulting to service failure if you run out of coal/water. So if you're on "Manual" make sure you open the fire box door etc. As if it runs out of coal/water etc it just defaults to service failure as theres no special message for that specific issue

    It's best to play on automatic fireman. You get the service failure because you run out of steam.
