    It doesn't work for me.
    I followed all the instructions to a tee. It asks you to 1. Open the MCB 2. Lower the Panto (They dont lower) 3. Raise the Panto (They are already raised) 4. Close the MCB (Doesnt work and gets stuck on this step)

    This is after enabling ZWS mode in the 101 loco beforehand

    If you lower the pantograph push the button there 2 steps

    don't pull the lever all the way towards you but 1 step. if you pull it all the way towards you you also give sand and that is not the intention.

    I had to do the tutorial several times due to the MCB. You have to take your time. Don’t listen to the instructions. If you act too quickly, you’ll get stuck. You need to wait for the instructions in the left top corner of the HUD.

    I figured out what the issue is and it is a bug. When you are asked to move the reverser in the 101 cab to 0 and remove it, as soon as you click the reverser it removes it (it is still in the forward position when you do this)

    The reverser being stuck in forward in the 101 cab causes you to unable to lower the panto from the cab car. The fix/workaround for this (at least on PC) is to not use the mouse to move the reverser to zero, but to use the keyboard (W/S) to move it to 0 and then remove it with the mouse....once the reverser is set to 0 in the 101 cab...the panto lowers as expected from the cab car and in turn allows you to raise it and then close the MCB
