BigVern Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Can anyone recall or say what the procedure is for this? After the wife distracted me yesterday evening (!) I overshot a station while doing a steam hauled local service. After coming to a halt with a full brake application I reversed back into the platform then when station duties complete set the reverser to full forward, released the brakes but when I opened the regulator the valves simply filled to capacity and the train wouldn’t move. I opened the cylinder cocks and still unable to move. Finally operated the brake release handle but everything remained locked up. At that point the only option was to reload my saved game and try again. However, I’ve had this issue before on another run where, for some unexplained reason, the steam loco simply stops working and you can’t move.
jeroezie Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago You probaly overcharged the brakes in the train, due to amismatch between the brake valve in the loco and the triplevalves in the carriages. You can use dev menu, deafault keybind F8, to see the stats of thr trainset, look for the cilinder pressure. To prevent it, do NOT use the fill setting of the Ty2 at all.
BigVern Posted 4 hours ago Author Posted 4 hours ago Yes I think that's what I must have done. How to recover or is it "Game Over"?

jeroezie Posted 25 minutes ago Posted 25 minutes ago (edited) Well what you can do, is just keep the brake lever in fill position permanently... Not realistic of course. If the train is light enouch, you cab try to finish the drive with only using the locomotive brake / direct air brake. Than it does not matter if you keep thr brake pipe pressure at 7 bar.
