98299 - Certain trains undriveable in realistic mode

[stumper66]

Milwaukee Road Avery-Drexel - MILW - Transcontinental Eastbound Freight Train (snowy winter)
Soon as you start the game you are driving a single engine - TUME-71001753-EF4-MILW
After you release the breakes and put the throttle to 1 will not get you moving, even though you are on a -0.47 decline. Putting the throttle to 3 will get you moving, but will top out of 13 MPH. Soon as you zero the throttle to zero the engine quickly slows down and comes to a complete stop, even though it's on a decline. Basically it's like driving with the brakes on.

C&O Hilton Division - Thurmond Empties
Soon as you start the game you are driving a C&O Kanawha K-4 Steam.
After you release the brakes and hit the throttle it moves just about a foot and stops. Adding more throttle only causes the wheels to spin. It's impossible to get the train to move at all.
Also the water injector slider and automatic stoker sliders are missing. There are only 4 sliders shown and the right-most one is the independent brake.

Interestingly, this is the same loco that works fine in the other session.

While we investigate the cause for this to occur, the workaround is as follows:
1. Edit Session (instead of drive session)
2. Ctrl-F and fine "C&O Kanawha K-4 Steam Test 2"
3. Open the train tab and select Trains mode
4. Press G to get the consist and save it with a new name
5. Select the Delete tool, then delete the train
6. Select the Add tool and place the new consist
7. Click Cehicle mode then select the Properties tool
8. Click on the loco and edit the name to be "C&O Kanawha K-4 Steam Test 2"
9. Click Save and create a new session with a new name (e.g. add '1')
10. Click Quickdrive


I've also uploaded a fixed session on the DLS so that should appear later today -
<kuid:39601:100016> Thurmond Empties - Temporary fix

It's the same process for MILW - I've uploaded this session:
<kuid:39601:100017> MILW - Transcontinental Eastbound Freight Train (snowy winter) - temp fix

I just tried MILW today and I see it has the same issue. Even after releasing the brakes it shows brake cylinder has 204 PSI, and there's nothing you can do to release it.

I tried playing with the above mentioned temp fix and it fixed the brakes, well it seems to have removed them. Once I get going it's nearly impossible to stop.
The independent brakes doesn't do anything and applying full air brakes barely does anything with only the engine, no cars attached.
