    I'm trying to find out if I did something wrong or if it is an issue with Peninsula Corridor and if someone else is having this issue or similar one.
    I downloaded Peninsula Corridor for TSW3. When selecting download, it automatically started to download two versions (TSW2 & 3). Now, I have all the bells and whistles with it and redownloaded them all. I did cancel the TSW2 downloads and kept just TSW3.
    Now, when selecting the services on the menu, all is working fine except the cabcar for Baby Bullet. It's shows up but doesn't let me to select it since the livery selection doesn't show up either (as it does with every other loco).

    Just thought I share it. Don't know if I did something wrong or not. If I didn't then we have a problem here.
    Now, back door to that issue for now is to spawn to Diridion on foot and just take over the cabcar.
    FP40 and it's sidekick works just as it used to in TSW2. UP stuff and switcher I haven't tried yet so I don't know.

    You did nothing wrong. When it got ported over with the preservation update, the timetable I guess got messed up. We don't know that happened. But the special projects team has been working on fixing and making a new
    timetable and make the services playable.

    sorry for necroing an old thread, but I am playing this route after a long time and making sure I got right settings, playing with MP36PH aka Baby Bullet:
    Head End Power Isolate/Run - Run
    MU-2A Valve - Lead or Dead
    Radio On
    Alerter On
    any other settings I should be mindful of? I mean, on Metrolink and other routes where you got either Baby Bullet or other passenger diesel, you mostly have almost all settings correct :) so I am making sure

    yep those I know from other US diesels, wasnt sure about the HEP Isolate/Run switch (found in a video you have to switch it to RUN; HEP itself seems to be running? is there a light indicating that works as it should?), MU-2A Valve (most videos didnt change that, but when I peeked to its position it had Trail 24 or 26 and as far as I know if you drive the lead loco it should be set to Lead or Dead)... Radio and Alerter are more straightforward, I guess

    so according to some videos I watched on how to set this version of MP36PH, I did everything right... loco seemed to run ok :D

    btw I have started Baby Bullet, after some time, so I forgot to switch MU-2A Valve from Trail 24 or 26, and by accident I found that out, so I switched it to Lead or dead... didnt make a difference, at least I havent noticed... I know the purpose of this valve, tho now that I think of it - what should it be set as:
    1) when you are driving MP36PH
    2) when driving the cab car

    here I am again :) so I am trying a different way of slowing down and eventually coming to a stop with Baby Bullet... which is... ahead of time, I will first drop into Idle, then Setup, and then engage dynamic brakes to notch 8, wait for them to engage... and then I gradually apply automatic brake... and what I have noticed is that the brakes are applying, brake pipe pressure is going down, but the brake caliper pressure drops to zero

    is this correct? like, as I have found elsewhere, that just means the loco brake is bailed off and the rest of the train is braking? (I didnt use brake bail off on Independent brake)
