I will raise the issue. Where do we separate which engine drives and which engine heats? This has to be determined somehow, otherwise the heating generator will help the drive.
We have already struggled with this, more precisely my colleague, mozdonyos
Electric Train Supply Just an interrogation...

Lots of matters arising here.
Please is it possible to get a copy of the default.cs script?
Are there any other scripts currently available that might help?
Are there any differences between diesel and electric traction (in terms of what we should enter)?

Another unusual way to provide ETS, this time on a two engined loco:

ETH supply would come off both main generators (these generators are in series) when the engines are idling, but with the generator fields at full excitation . Also the idling speed of the engines would be increased from 650 to 700rpm. When the driver applies power, the ETH would switch over to the main generator nearest the driver, and the controls were altered so that the leading engine would rev up first. Thus, the voltage to the ETH would pick up quickly. Once the driver needed full power, the final travel of the power-handle would cause the trailing engine to rev up quickly.

Hello!
A question presents itself to me and maybe ETS is the answer, so I raise it here.
The caboose in the picture belongs to the Talgo III Branch and goes by the colloquial name of "Manso":
This vehicle has a pantograph to provide electricity to its branch when it is uncoupled from the locomotive. That is to say, when it is uncoupled it goes up and when the locomotive is coupled, it goes down.
Right now the respective parts of its pantograph are named as "Pantograph3" (it is understood with their correct names). In your .wag file there is this statement at the end:
The question is whether there is a way to recreate this behavior, for example by means of ETS, or in some other way. That is, to automatically raise the pantograph on disengagement and retract it on engagement. I hope I have explained myself as well as possible.
Thank you very much!

It occurs to me now that with an animation designed for advanced couplers (I still don't know how they work) perhaps something like this could be recreated, i.e., when coupling, the pantograph descends.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Genius!
But I'm not sure, do they work well actually.
