Hi everyone! When I activate the AWS system on this locomotive, the brakes are fully applied and I cannot start the trip. Talking about a mercancy train. If I'm already traveling and activate the AWS lever, the train stops completely. What can I do? Thanks a Lot!!!!
If I understand your post correctly, you are activating the AWS in the Class 20, then setting up the loco to begin your journey and it's not releasing the brakes? - just incase you weren't aware, you only have the AWS turned on in the cab your driving from (if a double headed class 20) and not both locos. You should be able to throw both the switches on the AWS box on the centre column, activate the driving desks with the master key and then set up the driving desks you intend to drive from and the brakes should release as per usual. Do make sure to check it's in Air for air stock and vac for Vaccum stock. iirc using the B or ⭕ buttons before the AWS alarm sounds will toggle the Deadman instead which applies a full brake application as a safety precaution. There is no vigilance in the 20 so only smack the AWS button when it yells at you to otherwise you trip the Deadman and stop your train.
