    Hello everyone, I was trying out the LGV and while doing the tutorial I can't rearm the circuit breaker. Everytime I try the switch it would just flip down. Is there any fix for this?

    Make sure the Pantograph Mode is set correctly to match the area you're in, the Pantograph Control is set to Normal, and that the Circuit Breaker switch is On before you try and turn the Rearm switch On.

    The switch to engage the armed circuit breaker springs back, that's perfectly normal.

    If the rearm circuit breaker button doesn't seem to actually close the circuit breaker and give power to your train, try pressing the Cancel Service Retention button (large red button on the far right-hand side of the cab) before pressing rearm circuit breaker again. This usually does the trick for me.

    I played LGV this weekend one scenario that helped me was the one where you take trains into and out of service it makes you do the sequence many times over to arm disarm set pantograph etc playing this scenario a time or 2 will definitely teach you how to do it

    I cannot for the life of me get this train going. I have followed all the procedures (I think), yes I pressed the service retention cancel, yes, the panto is up and in the correct setting, yes, the breaker is closed-- but I CANNOT get power to the motors. What's the magic ingredient?

    1. Service retention cancel
    2. Charge aux power 5 sec
    3. Turn on master switch
    4. Confirm/set electric mode to LGV or DC
    5. Raise panto
    6. set driving mode
    7. release brakes
    ...aaaand, nothing

    Or,
    1. Service retention cancel
    2. Charge aux power 5 sec
    3. Turn on master switch
    4. Confirm/set electric mode to LGV or DC
    5. Open breaker
    6. Raise panto
    7. close breaker (yellow light does NOT come on for me)
    8. re-arm breaker
    9. set driving mode
    10. release brakes
    ....and still nothing
