Consist modified and tested.

One of the things that stands out for me, is that loaded stack trains will NEVER have an empty platform at the front ( ish ) of a train.

Never say never, Derek. Some impromptu "husky stackin" using a 5 unit well car. This train climbed Gulf Summit hill.







Some more impromptu "husky stackin" using 3 unit wells

10 year old trains don't count.
I would assume that the other mixed trains were running on flat territory?

They are not allowed to marshal trains that way in Australia any more, too many issues.

I used the consist ... screenshot taken after leads had passed over Foss River Bridge.

With the values as given in my previous post #86, still got derail warnings when leads enters Foss River Bridge.

Got it, will make changes and run again.

After adjusting BNSF intermodels to your numbers, still getting derail warning when leads enter Foss Bridge (intermodels on curve before bridge ).---
that's all for tonight.

We're nearly there Derek ! I've just run as far as MP 1726 and only got 1 derail message which only appeared once. This was for car 0-8 at Foss Bridge although I notice that Gerry also got a derail there earlier on car 0-7. This was with me using your new consist file plus your file uploaded on post #50. Huge improvement on what I was experiencing before.
