Great Northern #5018 and 5019 will not function, nor will Virginian EL2B

Can't get these locomotives to move. Seems like brakes won't release or something

Hi oldno42,
GN #5018 drives without any problem!
Although it appears to be an electric loco, the .eng files have it as a diesel, with the effect that it runs on any route, with or without the pantograph raised!! When starting, the brakes aren't applied.

You haven't specified which version of Open Rails you're using; my tests were with X4330. If you're not using the v1.3.1 stable, or later, version, I suggest you do so

There is one 'funny' with this loco - the body keeps moving up and down!!

Cheers,

Using 1.3.1 version. Cannot drive those locomotives

Hi oldno42,
My results with v1.3 and v1.3.1 are exactly the same as with X4330!

I trust you are using the supplied consist? - the loco is in 3 parts!

My only other suggestion is run OR without any of the Experimental items selected.

One 'problem' is that the "Wheel slip" warning shows, even when at zero throttle!!

Cheers,
Ged

Thanks

Reinstalled OR and locomotives work fine now.
