Defect generator/rule?

[ShadyCadence]

I kind of like hearing the "detector milepost" reports, but they always end the same way; "No defects"

Is there a way to have defects randomly come up? Say, "car number 8 in the consist has a hot bearing on the third axle, fireman's side. Drop speed to 20mph and cut car out at the next siding."
I've done this with cards on an HO layout, and it adds to the fun with a little of the unknown.

"Detector out.":hehe:

Do you have a Hotbox Rate on the detector you are using? I think when it is set to medium or high that it will give random defects. I think I read that somewhere. (Of course, my memory could be bad.)

It would be nice to have some type Detectors for along the trains route in Driver because I believe Nikos1 built a GP40 Cab that is equipped with a Radio chatter!!

The TPR offers a detector pack that you can install like a signal. You can customize the milepost and how frequently a hot box is found (low, medium, high).
