Why is my train not moving?

[EWS 58038]

Hi all,

I do have some kind of a so called "problem". My service is as reliable as a FGW one becouse, whatever I do... my train (class 158 ) won't run.

If I read correctly:

- turn on the train
- reset AWS
- wait for the buzzer, and reply it (6)
- Set the reverser to forward
- release the brakes
- Put the throttle in mode 3.... and it should go.

It doesn't.

So if anyone here can tell me how to get the train up an running I'll be pleased.

Have you turned off the DRA?
Press spacebar before applying power and it should go.

That was the trick... thanks.

If you really want to reproduce FGW working, you should use BRR to substitute a 153 or a Pacer

no - to recreate a FGW service, you go to start, then shut down or alternatively you can just use a 142 and pretend you broke down...
