Nice act Paul! And nice Brill and fixes from Tim as well. B) A couple of questions though. When coming back from Fonda, does one 'drag' the engine with brakes on to maintain constant speed? I notch up to 25mph, throttle down - and within a second I'm back to 20mph and throttle up again. Using the locomotive brake going down is easy enough, but coming back is a real chore!
Also, the act ends when I return to Johnstown. But your briefing makes it sound like it goes on to Gloversville, and back into the siding. Is that correct?

That's odd, didn't end for me until I reached the Gloversville freight house, even then it only ended when I ended it. Nothing I set up myself. There is a note that should appear from the conductor saying it's OK to go, I'll check and see what happened to that.
To be honest, I had the bug set up for 60 mph and when going up the hill from Fonda I was able to sit back a 33% throttle with only the odd shot of train break to keep under 25 mph, and in some spots popping up to 66% for a few moments. The engine file was from an RDC and it was set for 85 mph, I dropped that to 60, but it would appear that Tim dropped that to 35 and I haven't tried it on the hill yet (was beta testing with it on another route for the last two days and did see my maximum speed go from 65 to 45 after changing engine files).
I'd run with train brakes on, beats working that throttle. If you smell something bad, try something else!
