Hi all!I use NALW P42 locos and the breaks are not functionning normally. I can set the brake to any pressure, but when I release them, the BC pressure goes up to the triple!Ex.: 1) BP=110
BC=02) I set the brakes:
BP=90
BC=20(everything is normal until now)3) I release the brakes
BP= 110
BC= goes up to 60 psi!!
Then the main reservoir fall to 30 psi and I must wait until the system is charged at least to 60 psi to get the brakes released...When I use the dash9 or the SD40, the break release if I release the brake (assuming it's a first application, or the second of two small application).What should I change in .eng file to fix this problem??(It's a problem to me, because the train virtually act as if it was in emergency every time you set the brakes).
Martin.

RE: P42 breaking problem (physics)

After several tests, I found out that the problem only happen if there is cars coupled to the loco. I use TrainArtisan VIA HEP car... I tried to modify the .wag file with no success...Any Help?Martin
