To confirm variable if required are:
ORTSLengthBogieCentre - length between bogie centres
ORTSLengthCarBody - Length between car ends
ORTSLengthCouplerFace - length between coupler faces.
ORTSNumberAxles - number of axles on the car.
ORTSNumberBogies - number of bogies on the car.
Hey Peter, this is how I've set it up and called it - Comment ( Derailment Coefficient ).
Is this suitable for .wag files
Comment ( "ResistancePC3BayOffsetHop99.2t.inc" )

Just had a thought while doing some engines, minimum turning radius.
Thanks, Mike
