    I have created a formation with a Jubilee heading it, followed by 5 coaches, and at the rear a Class 66.
    When I spawn it the 66 is always the driving loco.
    How do I get the Jubilee as the lead loco?

    Ok, I sussed the issue. The 66 isn't compatible with LPC coaches, an the Jubilee isn't compatible LMC coaches.
    When adding the LMC to the Jubilee the 66 becomes the lead loco.

    It's a pity that we are unable to create a train in this formation!

    Just a thought...
    I don't own the Flying Scotsman dlc, so I was wondering. Would it work in this formation?

    Finally Success!
    Originally for some unknown reason I wasn't getting the 'E' to enable me to sit in the Jubilee's drivers seat. After trying it again today, I was able to take control.

    but how are you driving a Jubilee with Mk 2 Coaches? they have two different brake types and thus are not compatiable

    Could be because they are built by DTG? LoL!

    This is definitely a bug as it throws up an error when importing it into the Online Sharing Hub.

    What I did is that I grabbed a air braked diesel (like a 47) and put it in between the coaches and jubilee
