Hand Brakes on Rollingstock

sarail · Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2003 4:55 pm

Is there anyway to prevent rollingstock rolling away whilst shunting in UTC? When you shunt, you generally end up finding that your rollingstock has rolled halfway down the line onto the main line. Any suggestions on how to apply brakes would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

for some reason, handbrakes only work on DCC mode, when you decouple, press 'x' key and decouple the wagons you want, and then pull away form the it with the rest of the train.

If you want to loose weight, don't eat anything that comes in a BUCKET!

Technically they should hold on air for half an hour if you don't bleed it ... It was very common among shunters to let a wagon hold on air if it was only for a shirt period.

After much experimentation and loss of life the Hand Brake control is the A key. Just select consist or car from loco and as you uncouple hit the A key...

Now I wont have any more runnaways at Epping... Wink

There is only one way any building or object or structure could collapse strait down. You would have to remove the resistence below it.
The force of the building pushing up is greater than that of the part of the building falling down.
