An unlikely event. (ORNYMG.v.139)

The Milwaukee EF's don't work right in OR for some reason. So now, they're just car house queens.

IIRC, OR does not pass thru the command for the trailing locomotives to pump up the air and so with only one unit that's active it's basically impossible to manage the brakes.

IIRC, later, it was an option introduced, allowing to specify, should compressors be synchronized through MU cable, or to work independently.

The brake thing is not good, of course, but the issue with OR I'm speaking of is that not all the EF-5's drivers rotate at the correct speed. It's not a problem with the model because they worked fine in MSTS.

It sounds as a problem with *.eng-file, as ORTS is more strict.
Check wheel radius in wagon() and engine() sections.

Thanks to your suggestion, I found my errors, although it wasn't the wheel radius entries in the .eng or .wag files, as I found after experimenting with those numbers. It was the actual animation speed set forth in the shape files for the trucks, all of which were at the default "30" set by TSM upon creating the .s file. I rewrote them all to 51, the number I've been using in my steamers.

Power up the coconut-powered butt-kicking machine for yours truly...my bad.

It still doesn't explain to me why some of the wheels did rotate correctly before, even with the default speed of 30...oh well. All's well that ends well. I'm happy they run in OR correctly, such as it is.



The rewritten trucks on the E29. Taking siding at Garrison, on Matt Smith's NP Mullan Pass.



These models are long in the tooth. Have there been any other models made of the MILW box cabs in other simulations? It would be interesting to see them updated to current standards with all the new features implemented.

Ditto, love the thick weeds and corn field!

It offers a choice: to go right, or left.

Holy Cow!
I thought, I'm seeing real photos...
Incredible!
ORTS? Sandpatch-2?

Thanks, this is a rebuild of the MSTS/OR Hamilton Norfolk route I have been working on for some time. However, I'm also working on the new TS Sand Patch concurrently that utilizes many of the same textures and objects.

"WV" is?
Aha, I remember screenies and discussions about SP update...
