Good morning/afternoon/evening all.
Yesterday, whilst driving on the fantastic Watley Junction line, I did a bit of an experiment. I put a 4-car London Midland class 321 behind a Virgin class 47 and told it to Navigate To x...the pantograph came up, as expected. I have two pantograph rules on my system, one of which is PantographState and one is pantz. I set up the train to lower the pantograph, and then Navigate To x...the pantograph lowered, but then when it reached the Navigate To command, the pantograph raised. I tried a Navigate To > Pantograph Lower Command > Navigate To and the same thing happened.
Does anyone know how to keep the pantograph essentially locked out of use when being pulled by a Diesel locomotive on a non-electrified section of track, to give it that 'broken down and rescued' effect?
