I've been trying to do some switching in a town I created. The tracks are not perfectly level -- they are at about a 1 percent grade. I am having trouble with the cars rolling down the hill after I uncouple them. Basically, I bring the tain to a stop and cut off the cars I want to leave behind. So far so good. As soon as I begin pulling away from the decoupled cars, though, they go merrilly rolling down the hill.Has anyone gotten switching on an incline to work?
Is there a way to set the brakes in the decoupled cars to hold them in place while I do a run-around or whateve other switching I need to do?I am running the direct-mail version with SP 1 installed.Any input would be appreciated.
