    Currently playing the Leipzig's Little Helper scenario, been stuck for around 20-25 minutes now trying to unlock the brakes and they are refusing to budge

    I have the power control in brake release/decrease power and been moving the traction lock/emergency brake release into release but still has 1.3 in the BC and when you apply the throttle, no movement

    Any help or advice please?

    To loco brake or train brake?
    EDIT: I have tried two times now and this doesn't work either, I get to the couple uncouple part and after the coupling and uncoupling part, no power, unlock the brakes and it sets right back to 1.3 bar

    I have the same problem, can’t even complete the training centre, or timetable session.

    After messing about all day with this, I found that if you hold the release until the brake cylinder pressure goes right back to zero, then keep holding it down for about another five seconds it will stay released. Discussion on other forum here says it's not a bug, it's a feature to prevent loco rolling away!

    Normal operation is to hold the release and add throttle; as soon as the controller is in a power setting the brakes stay off.
