how do you fix the prob of the wheels going slower than you are actually moving? ex: I am going 60 mph and the wheels look like they are going 20.

I have a GWR 4-4-2T and the wheels look like they are scraping against the rails cause the rails are moving faster that the wheels.

>You have to watch out with a few of the UK locos. To achieve smooth piston animation they use 16 frames instead of 8.The usual fix for this is to halve the actual wheel radius in the ENG file - this has several side effects on the performance of the engine.A better fix is to uncompress and edit the S file and change the line (near the end of the file)animation ( 16 30to animation ( 16 60The correct wheel radius can then be used in the ENG file.

> is anyone gonna answer me?Patience is a virtue. And leaving a mere 1 hour and 17 minutes between your question and the above comment, I'd have to say you are rather lacking in both patience and etiquette. Attitude like that is sure to get you nowhere fast.Sorry I can't help you with your problem, though. I have never noticed this phenomenon.Ray

The rotation speed is set in the ENG by the wheel radius figures.The one in the 'wagon' section are the bogie wheels radius, the one in the 'engine' section are the driver wheels, that's for a steam loco.Same for diesel and electricl, except the is one figure, for the bogie wheels.

I've had a look at the tender 0n #3977 and there is only one wheelset not turning, and you have to look close to see it. From normal viewing distances there is no discernable difference between it and its neighbours.
