Wcml Preston To Crewe Discussion

Appreciate the help, and others trying it especially.

very bizarre tho as despite trying all of the above it’s not budging. It edges forward for a few revolutions and then jolts back. I’m right at the end too, on arpley shunt neck, 0.6 mile from Warrington msc.

the brakes are definitely being given ample time to release as I’ve been speeding the game up with god mode to assist with that to no avail

EDIT : Again, thank you to those especially who ran the service. I started again and was able to complete it with no issues. Was more diligent this time. I noticed last time that the brakes were still on as I pulled away from Wilderspool (rugby ground for those who aren’t from the area. Love that this is in the game!).

previously, I crawled all the way to the point I got stuck and I’m gonna assume it’s because I didn’t initially wait. This time I waited and ensured the brake was on full service as I coupled.


I know the forum has rightfully been given a bad rap from the powers that be recently but things like this would be missed massively. I love trains and I play this game (and frequent this forum) primarily so I can learn more about them. Train Simulator Driver on YouTube often says that TSW isn’t as buggy as some make out, it’s just that a lot of its user base don’t know enough about how trains actually work. I’m not for one minute denying that there are huge underlying problems with the game but I do agree with him on that. I learn so much from this forum. It really would be a shame if it was restricted because a few grown adults can’t moderate their own behaviour

 

Oh man do I need to read the manual? OK. I swear this has never ever been a thing though.

 

One little thing with the 20, might be worth looking next to the door (right hand side / nose end) and using the vacuum chamber release, depends on the circumstances obviously but I had a random moment the other day where having been running the train around in various shunts to get it out of Deepdale the brakes suddenly found themselves glued on. VCR to the rescue

Also randomly had to do that a few times on the Class 50 IRL when the bogie brakes start to come on of their own volition

 

Thanks, I got that when accidentally switching to Vacuum Goods before switching back to Air Goods and had to end the run, I'll give that a go next time.
