    I recently purchased the CSX C40-8W addon.

    I cannot seem to get the locomotive to move. I did everyone set brakes, set brake com, and made sure that the hand brake wasn't on. I cannot seem to get the engine to move at all after all of these steps.

    Did you set the direction handle? It needs to be moved away from neutral.

    Did you make sure to switch the engine run, gen field and fuel pump on? One of them is turned off so you have to turn it on each time.

    Update I found the issue I forgot to change the AD brake on the right side and change the Independent Brake ( I forgot) by the Gen field switch
