JR EMD LOCOMOTIVES OVERHEATING ISSUE
ATT: norfolksouthern37, Im have an issue with SD70MS, SD70MACS & SD80MACS Overheating and message overlay. Example: I have two SD70MACS hauling 70 x 100 ton open hoppers total trailing weight of 7905 tons on a 0 grade Overheating message overlay occurs at about 10mph and i have evan added a max tractive effort 780700 to the locomotive. im also getting getting similar results from SD70MS & SD80MACS. Its very obvious the SD70MS, SD70MACS & SD80MACS do not behave and are not very prototypical in the same manor as the real Locomotives, considering JR is making prototypical Locomotives and engine specs. Any ideas how to fix this annoying issue.
Justin, maybe u need to be taking more serious look at the voltage figure in the engine spec for SD70MS, SD70MACS & SD80MACS.
I have done the same test with I have two GP50s hauling 70 x 100 ton open hoppers total trailing weight of 7905 tons on a 0 grade and no Overheating message overlay occurs at at all evan at 10mph.
Justin are u able to make your tables available for creating engine specs? it would be greatly appreciated, Im working on a couple of things myself. Andrew.
