    I´m gonna make this a hobby: Find workarounds for DTG bugs, yeah. It can be fun and, who knows, it ain´t no bug, it´s a bloody feature!

    I think it is cross-platforms.

    So, it basically goes like this:

    Switch the Gronk´s reverser to "reverse", keep the brakes on, push throttle to notch 2, release the brakes at once, wait for the Gronk to land on the track (if you´re lucky and fast enough, otherwise she rolls aside and derails). As soon as she accelerates towards the end of track, hit the brakes with everything you´ve got and bring her to a stop. You have only a few meters and might have to try several times. When done wait for the train to leave and follow until the red signal ... Good luck! :)

    Tried it about 20 times. Maybe I'm just not fast enough.

    This workaround no longer works, because the loco flies off the rails after 3 seconds regardless.
    DTG Matt please can you check in on the progress of fixing this? It's in the first chapter of Rail Journeys of the Diesel Legends expansion, and it a showstopper.

    Yes, DTG Matt the couplers at each end of the wagon train should be switched to Hook not Buckeye.

    I see. The workaround video was recorded with TSW2 on PS4.
    It seems DTG has now ´improved´ this bug and ported it over to their wholly "new" sim. I´m impressed. Congratulations!

    But you guys have now (sometimes too) dynamic weather, fps hogging 3D clouds, snow wash FX (even with little or no snow in tunnels and under rail station roofs), tough and weather resistant passengers (carrying no luggage) but with umbrellas. Sparks (that lite up the driver´s cab), moths and (some) working lifts ...... did I forget something?
    And all this for just under 35 Euros. Yay!
