    In the last days I started several attempts to drive a Dosto Cab Car on Salzburg-Rosenheim, but 80% of the time, the loco didn´t try to give any power and so I was a little bit frustrated. Are there any tips how should I operate this train or is this just a bug, as any other loco (BR 146, 143, 112) is always reacting to the throttle lever...:o

    If you could get it moving at first but then when you try to put power back on you get nothing, 111s have a tap changer and when you take power off the taps slowly go down and when they reach 0 then you can accelerate again.

    That makes sense, Thanks! Although it´s weird that you have to "feel" when the taps are by 0...:|

    See if this video helps you out at all. It may not be the same scenario that you are doing but it is with the BR111. I haven't used the cab car yet, I'm gonna guess that it's roughly the same in applying power with the tap.
