    Hi there,

    so I found myself trying to drive a "Dosto" consist from Mannheim to Kaiserslautern. It didn't take long to notice a very annoying and — in my mind — game breaking issue (no idea how this could pass QA, but yeah…). When I stopped at Ludwigsburg Mitte and started to move on, I was able to release the brakes, but once I started to increase the throttle, there was nothing happening. The BR 111 in the back started to make sound, like if it's about to move, but the speedometer stuck a 0. So… I went to the forum and I found a thread where this issue has been discussed on the Hamburg to Lübeck router. Apparently the traction lock is a bit buggy, and to work around this, you're supposed to release the brakes, set the throttle to Min, put it back to 0 and then back again to Min and beyond. The issue is that this workaround doesn't work for me. I'm still stuck in Ludwigsburg and it is really frustrating me. Any suggestions?

    Greetings
    Marcel
