This may have been addressed before, but going back 25 pages I didn't see anything addressing the problem.Sea View 2 uses two BNSF GP38's as default for the activities and the second engine rolls from side to side and up and over the rear of the lead engine. The lead engine is stationary as it should be, but the second engine is all over the place. Just to pike my curiosity I put a self made 22 unit consist on the Sea View 2 route and the same train on Ohio Rail and Marias Pass routes and it didn't happen so I assume it is a glitch in Sea View 2 route. If that is the case does anybody know if a fix has been released?Speaking of a self made consists I noticed another thing that is evident in many self made consists using engines and wagons from various designers. The couplings are mismatched with any number of different designs. In some cases there is a slight gap between couplings as well as a horizontal mismatch. It doesn't affect the consist from trailing properly of course, but it does look strange when I do my pre-flight inspection. I realize MSTS is nothing more than a simulation, but it would seem there could be a certain standard for coupling design to more accurately depict the couplings and add to the realisim.Ken B.

The next station is Chancery Lane...........Crash! Bam! Booom! and sends 32 people in the hospital and makes all the other 1992 stock out of service for nuts and bolts replacing...
