Hi all,
I am trying to pick up some cars on the Full Bucket line. I have a six axel engine and can't get more than 2.5 mph with eng and train brakes released and no hand brakes on. I'm using OR v0.8.0.1251.
I can get no more than N3 on the power. If I go to N4 I get wheel-slip.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What engine are you using?. Also you might want to upgrade to a newer version of OR, X1615 is here http://openrails.org/experimental.html

I'm using NERR SD70M #9237

I installed x1625 and it didn't seem to make any difference. Now when I apply the emergency brake I can't get it to release.

I have just run the #9237 all the way up to run 8 with no wheelslip. The emergency brake does release, but until the BC figure is at or near 0 the engine or train will not move. What are your FPS in OR?.
