    Steam Locomotive Won't Work

    How do I get this engine to work? f7100f10.zip is the engine, and the only modifications I have done is to .cvf and .sms, that's it. The locomotive has a constant steam usage rate of 1595 lb/h, no matter what percentage the throttle is in, and at max throttle, full reverser, won't budge. Thanks.

    I changed the maxboilerpressure from ( 20bar ) to ( 220psi ) and it runs fine. The actual equivilent psi for 20bar needs to be looked up and substituted for the 220psi I used to see if that would just get the engine moving.

          Oh hey no problem! Also having a secondary issue maybe you can help with. When I apply the brakes, they won't release... At all. They all say 'State Lap' even in the release position, I'm using the BLW Hiawatha cars... Any idea what's up?

            I don't know the set I'm using is the freeware set, fairly heavily modified, from the f/l. Good luck!
