When selecting Simple Adhesion, the ATSF 4-8-4 3751 by Allen Norton won't move with latest Unstable release, see picture

Thanks for identifying this, I will have a look at it.

I have added a patch that hopefully should come through in a couple hours time to the Unstable version which I hope fixes the fault when operating in Simple Adhesion.

Can you please confirm the fix?

Thanks

Peter, the locomotive starts correctly, however, if I put the reverser in reverse while the locomotive is slowly running forwards and the regulator is > 0, the locomotive continues accelerating forward instead of reducing speed to zero and running backwards.

Carlo, Thanks for that. I will work on it again tomorrow.

I confirm that - long-time problem for me.

I have had another go at fixing the issue, can you try the latest Unstable version (give an hour or so to upload).

Let me know if this fixes it.

I have the ATSF 4-8-4 working in ver. U2024.01.03-0423. Works in forward and reverse correctly. In NYMG 149.2 the same consist will not move, throttle and regulator both at full.

Thanks Peter, I confirm that the issues I raised have been solved in the actual Unstable release.

I've been watching the discussion on " Locomotive Creep " and there has been no mention of the fact that steamers have never had a (True 0% } Neutral 0f the Cutoff function . You either have 0% forward or 0% Reverse - - depending on the previous direction that was used . Resulting in a " Creep " if the throttle is advanced and brakes have not been applied . The ENG file entry " Cutoff " has 2 " Neutrals "- forward & Reverse .

Am I correct ?
Just a thought !
