Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

That emergency anchor in the game is pretty big lol. In reality you'd still sail straight through the signal and be on the radio reporting the bad news to dispatch so you can have that safety discussion.

you're welcome

You shouldn't need to do anything to them. Just make sure before you put the reverser into the front loco you turn on banking comm on the radio in the lead cab. This will effectively control the rear locomotives.

Glad you found it useful 😀

The valve you set to Trail is about brakes nothing else. The switch is for the lights and only sets which way the lights face. The other controls don't really matter because the locomotives following the lead and connected to it are controlled by the lead loco.

Thanks that tip you told me to do work out just find about the training loco where eng on gen off and power on did the trick. Thank you so much Mr train driver. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

@@johnspriggs2458 you're welcome, glad it worked for you

It could be a bug, its always possible that's why I'm trying to get the service number so I can check and report it. Glad you like the tutorial and hopefully we can get you moving. Thanks for the sub.

@@trainsimulatordriver Thanks for your reply & any help you can give me.

@@bobn1944 are you able to get the service number for me? It would look something like 63E

That could actually happen in reality, but if anything the trains in the sim are over powered so it shouldn't happen. Did you turn on banking comm before you put the reverser into your loco or afterwards?

@@trainsimulatordriver Hi and thanks for the reply! I did switch on banking comm prior to inserting the handle, although I'm currently nearing the summit at ~ 19 mph so something seems different this time! I have only just started paying attention to the tractive effort gauge, however, so perhaps I was simply wheelspinning it the whole way up before?

@@JulianShagworthy it is possible, it is also possible you found a bug :)... if the weather changes the wet can make a huge difference on whether you get up at speed. When slowing down or getting slip you can apply sand which in theory helps.

@@trainsimulatordriver Possibly! Again thanks for the videos you make, they're very very helpful 👍

@@JulianShagworthy hopefully you'll make it to the top, fingers crossed 😃

Did you turn on banking comm (disp button on radio) before doing anything else at the start of the service? If you didn't that will activate the rear helper locos. On HSC you can only do it first thing or it won't work. Also freights don't necessarily run at track speed, they get given enough power to get the job done, not necessarily get it done at or near the track speed.

@@trainsimulatordriver thanks I was wondering why dp wasn’t working with hsc

@@dwaynemcqueen1795 very important to turn on banking comm :) - always do it before putting in the reverser

For the headlights? Use the setting that matches the loco you're in. Look at the loco side on from outside. The short stubby end is the short hood. If that's facing towards then use short hood lead. For the independent brake (mu26 valve) in the lead loco it should be lead, all others trail.

I thought I had done the old ones too but cannot find them. They're a bit different to this one. Is there anything in particular you'd like to see?

Sand patch grade was what I meant sorry I can't remember the set-up of the trains to get up the steep gradient thanks for the reply mate 👍

@@AndyMick oooo that could well be really easy - before you set up the loco you are in, reach up to the radio and hover your controller over the buttons - I think "PTT" on Sand Patch Grade - it will say "Banking Comm" when you hover over the right one, hit the button then go on with the rest of your setup. This will mean the locomotives down the back will copy your command moves you make at the head end (the idea is you are telling a crew at the back what to do) and they will power and help you get up (or down) the hill.

@@AndyMick I shall put together a tutorial - I think I did make one ages ago but its probably before this channel existed so I will make a new one - give me a few days

Thank you mate I thought you had to set up all the trains individual because the banking com worked different but I will give it a go today thanks for your help love your videos 👍

In what way do you find it weird Wesley?

@@trainsimulatordriver It seems to be too strong. Is it really like that or am I doing something wrong ?

@@WesleyAlves42 is its strength realistic? its hard to say not having ever driven a real one, generally I suspect that its more about having too much horse power per ton on those trains - they are a bit over powered

@@trainsimulatordriver Ok, thanks.

Push To Talk

Save has never worked properly in TSW2

@Chicago's Trains & Train Sim World 2 Guy it is an interesting question really, if you go to emergency you dump all the air which applies all brakes fully including the locomotive, also putting the independent on full shouldn't make any difference - but like everything if it makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone then do it
