    I posted earlier that while operating, I suddenly lost control over the OBB, the throttle is not working, I can move the handle, but nothing happens
    Then it happened with the Vectron, I was operating it, then I was trying to brake, but nothing is happening, I used the emergency brakes to stop, then I tried moving again but nothing is happening.
    It even happened with the BR 363 Shunter, after operating it and uncoupling from a formation, then changing directions and coupled to another formation, everything was going fine, until I changed the reverser to reverse, and suddenly, it doesn't want to move, I tried everything, tried shutting down the cab and firing it up again, I used the "I'm stuck" feature, which is great, but nothing happened, I tried exiting and loading the game again, but nothing solved the problem, until I gave up and exited the game.

    I feel something is wrong with the game, or I am really ignorant about trains and something is happening that I don't get.

    I purchased and downloaded the Bakerloo line add-on, I was playing the introduction, I stopped at the first station, then when I tried moving again, the train won't move. WHAT IS HAPPENING? Please help, it happened on different routes, different trains, and even on different PCs.

    The first 2 is expected behavior since you were passing through a neutral section which cuts power for your train. Look for blue signs and if you see a sign that looks like | |, open the mcb. If you see |_|, close the mcb.

    Also in regards to your 3rd question regarding the 363, what were your brake pressures and did you give it some time for all the brakes to release. Also, did you ever put the brakes into release? Release isn't actually release

    Thanks a lot for the information, I'll try to keep an eye for those
    As for the 363, I don't really remember but there was something wrong with the brake pressure because it wasn't going down.
    And regarding the London 72 stock, I found that I can regain control, if I switched the (Droplight) -I believe- to cut-out then cut-in again, thats how it gains back power

    If you opened the window to the driver side, it will cut power.

    What the hell?! YES I doubted this, but never thought it can be real. Is that happening in real life? :D

    It's a safety thing i think and yes it seems to be real. In order to open the window and not lose power, you have to cutout the droplight
