High speed train unable to go fast

[Jaykob8]

Hello,
I have downloaded the KTX train from Socimi for TANE SP4 and I just don't like how it tops out at 3kph. It should be going over 160 kph because it's a high speed train. Does anyone know what the issue may be?

A couple of things come to mind.

Lack of signals. The AI drivers "see" a certain distance and if they see no signals, they will run at 1/2 the line speed.

Running at 3 kph indicates there's a red signal ahead, visible or not, due to a junction (switch) set against the driver. Again, having periodic signals leading up to the junction will help this, and setting the switch for the track the train is running on will ensure that the AI will drive at full speed.

It isn't a signaling issue, it's when I put the train to go full speed, it only goes 3 kph.

Could be the engine configs fighting each other. Remove one of the driving units and see what happens.

It could be a broken engine-spec then. I had some old locomotives that someone "fixed" that couldn't get out of their own way.

You can test this.

Edit the session.
Ctrl-right-click on the engine.
Change the engine spec to something else and see if it works after saving.

I got it to work. Thanks JCitron!
