Good afternoon,
I am creating an Italian diesel loco (picture here ) and I'm having troubles writing a correct eng file:
I used some parts of the eng files available for testing on coalstonewcastle.com.au and I came up with this.
For some reason though, when I test it, the loco doesn't move at all.
I'm asking your help since I cannot find which parameters are wrong or missing.
Thank you.

ps.
Some parts of the eng file are still WIP, like the lights or the exhaust. I didn't mention it before because I'm assuming they don't interact with the parts that may be causing problems.

ORTSBearingType ( Roller ) 
	ORTSDavis_A ( 89,526 )
	ORTSDavis_B ( 0,7275 )
	ORTSDavis_C ( 0,2336 )

OR will read that at 89526. Train might as well be cemented to the track!

Try this!

ORTSBearingType ( Roller ) 
	ORTSDavis_A ( 89.526 )
	ORTSDavis_B ( 0.7275 )
	ORTSDavis_C ( 0.2336 )

Unless there are any other errors, the train should move.

Thanks

Also, if you calculated the ORTS Davis values to units other than the defaults specified by OR --- those units must be placed immediately following the values ( no space between unit and Davis number )
See manual - Steam Engine Section 8.4 page 99 ( under Friction - Wagon Section ) for default and recommended ORTS Davis units

I copied the values directly from the fcalc excel file without checking which separator was used. I should have been more careful.
Thank you!
