Does wheel slip in trailing units play any affect on the lead unit and the train. The ES 44's on Cajon will have wheel slip before a SD 70 will. I know because I can see the wheel slip light on the computer screen in the trailing unit ES 44's when I have a SD 70 as a lead engine. Also does anyone know how to make the lead engine wheel slip light turn on if a trailing unit is having wheel slip like in real life.
Wheel slip on a trailing unit is going to affect the performance of the train. The unit will go from helping the train to being practically dead weight. In the real world someone would be at the back and would sand but not possible in tsw. The only way to stop the wheel slip indicator would be to disconnect the unit from the train I believe. Also in the real world, continuous slip is gonna damage the wheels and the rails so it's best to try and stop it.
