Thanks to all at NALW for a fine package of steam for Christmas. Very nice present indeed. I do have a couple of questions. I already had the early version of BB #4005, is that still the same or was it upgraded with the download? I've noticed that in the Challengers and the Big Boys that the train brake handle does not move. It works fine but does not move like the engine brake handle. Also in the FEF's there is a great amount of noise in the cab and the firebox door does not close. I am using the sim in auto fireman mode. I've reinstalled the files but the noise is still there. Still, a fine job on all locomotives and thank you all very much for a great effort. Merry Christmas to all. Pinpuller
I also have a question with the Challengers. The headlight lights up, but no light shines on the track, as it does with the Big Boy. Is there an easy fix for this?
Just an update to what I have found. I did delete the Big Boy ver.1 from my trainset folder as it was causing the ver.2 from showing up in the 'Locomotives' section of the Activities on the route page of MSTS. I did a reinstall of the UP Steam pack and now BB ver.2 is there. But, also ran Route Control and it showed that I had to delete the consists that where with ver.1 as well. Once that was done all is working fine. Still, the train brake handle in the Chall. & the BB's does not move. The sound I am assuming is the stoker and steam pressure build up. I have noticed that in the BB the steam generation rate shows about 63285 where in the Chall. it shows 0 and the FEF shows 13000 but then drops off. Not sure why this is but curious. Pinpuller
