LAST EDITED ON Apr-10-03 AT 08:09 PM (EDT)

I just finished making up a Southwest Chief consist, courtosy of the instructions by Texas Eagle 550. The post was http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumID3/16718.html. I first tried 4 P42s at the head of the 30 car consist, and it refused to budge. So, I replaced one of the P42s with an Amtrak Dash 8. The consist still won't move. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Before anyone says it, YES the brakes are completely off!

RE: Train won't move

Did you fix the brake problem on the NALW Genesis Pack, If that is not the problem it usually takes the throtlle in N3 or N4 to start moving.ChrisProjects:

I did a search for the fix in the file library, but didn't find anything. I put the train starting in notch 8 and it still won't move.
