Ahhh, yes, nice. :)

had a good run cut the dynamic brakes as soon as i started to roll then no problems

The brakes take a little time to kick in in the beginning. I learned some brakes its better just not to release them as long as you can throttle up.

Let me be truthful... first time when i started this scenario i immediately tripped the PCS as the train started moving even with train brakes on.. reset the PCS and then went on my way.. immediately couldnt control the speed and overshot the limit by a mile or so.. not satisfied i restarted the scenario.. the next time was good run and controlled all the way.. just at Rio the final stop, jumped the signal by about 2 metres before coming to a stop... the signal was green, so technically didnt break any rules...

Good, yes the downhill will test you. Thanks and welcome. :)

Thank´s a lot for his next scenario in this great serie! I had no problem with the brakes....E-break goes well!!

Hmmm, never had that happen. Maybe try clearing the cache from the TOOLS menu. Also save before that point. sometimes just a restart will fix it.

Maybe I am doing something wrong but when I try to reverse and drop off the loco and two boxcars I can't get the consist to backup. Full throttle and still slipping down the hill.

Very well done! Love it. I played the brakes on 2/3rd real. And it was still a challenge. And I rode the dynamic brakes all the way if possible!

Thanks and welcome Rudolf. :)

Nice run again, as well as the previous parts. Thanks again for sharing all these runs!

Always look for sales, best time to pick up DLC.

I've really enjoyed parts 1-6 and now I'm teetering on the edge of a full price purchase of the SD9 for part 7. I don't know about anyone else, but It's wierd how after so long in the cab of one engine with all those instructions and shunts etc over the chain of scenarios, you sort of get a sense of 'bonding' with it and learn it's foibles. Thanks for sharing these. Chris (UK Based, but have filmed and photographed US trains)

Yes, it just takes a little time for it to kick in. Thanks Chris.

Another great run. Enjoying using the dynamic brake to control the speed on the downgrades.

Warren, SD9 is on sale for $10, you will need it for the " Yard Work (Provo) " and Part 7....

Cool, yes sale should be coming.

Ah, slight problem for me with that one. I don't have the SD9 yet, have to wait for it to come on sale (maybe over Xmas). Cheers, Warren

Thanks Warren, let me know how your run in Part 7 goes..

Nice run as usual RB, many thanks. Warren

This DLC (on sale now!!) will be needed to play "Leaving Helper - PART 7" :
D&RGW SD9 Loco Add-On

Welcome and thanks psrancher. :)

Just finished part 6 SS. It was a 'bugger' to make the stop on the grade, but finally did. Thanks for your work on this series. .

Yea, driving the B&O Kingwood Branch will help you master the Dynamic Brake. Thanks Rammy

Very Good Run after keep an eye on those Brakes. Thanks.

Thanks kp.

Nicely done, RB! Thanks!

Welcome and thanks Ken.

Another nice run to Rio, thanks for all your work.

Just started it...day or 2.

so how is Marias Pass coming along

I'd do those with a handcar! :)

then you go to Europe they have hills that can be up to 12%

Stevens Pass has an 5%. :)

i know but i think cajon pass takes the cake for the steepest grade the 3% grade

Yeah, just have to time it when to release it. The B&O Branch route is a really good way to learn Dynamic Braking.

nice job again but its to bad that you can't be in notch 1 while using dynamic braking
