Hi Folks,

Just noticed that when you cut a steam helper off the back of the train while moving - the helper will slow down and stop - however - the wheels just keep spinning at the last speed set...

Regards,
Scott

When part of the player train is uncoupled, then by default this becomes a STATIC consist, and for static consists there is no physics update which regulates the wheel movement.
This problem will have to wait until the complete couple / uncouple logic is rewritten, something which is also required to allow AI trains to couple and uncouple. Not likely to be anytime soon, though.
