    Hi all I'm currently loving this route despite the issues I've noticed people having but I have something I'm curious about when going up a 1.0 or higher gradient my train starts to slow right down to about 18mph and I'm. Unable to get it any faster the speed limits are usually around 35-50 and even on notch 8 with banking comm on it goes so slowly uphill idk if I'm doing something wrong but I feel I must be as AI trains going in same direction overtake me while I'm stuck at a slow crawl uphill am I doing something wrong or is the train underpowered or something

    Make sure you're turning banking comm on before you put the reverser handle in.
    Also ensure your trailing MU locos are correctly set, I've noticed that often the trailing locos have their control stands on, essentially making them useless, so you'll have to turn engine run, gen field, and control off in them.
    If you've set it up correctly and still are experiencing some issues, some people have been saying there's a bug with the DPU's.

    Thanks for the reply I thought on the trailing locos you had to only have generator field switched off had no idea engine run and control had to be switched off too I always been running with all but gen field OK trailing locos lol
