BigVern Posted yesterday at 08:10 AM Posted yesterday at 08:10 AM 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 21 hours ago Posted 21 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 16 hours ago Author Posted 16 hours ago Yes I think that's what I must have done. How to recover or is it "Game Over"?

jeroezie Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours 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.
