I have a situation problem I need to solve. HELP!

[thegrindre]

While in Surveyor I have placed some trains and cars for testing in Driver. My track isn't level so when I place a car on this unleveled track, then go into Driver for testing, my cars have rolled to destruction.:hehe:
How do you 'set the breaks' or otherwise 'hold' these cars in Surveyor so they won't roll when playing/testing in Driver???

Did that make any sense?

I just had a go at this with some UK wagons and none of them rolled away. Some wandered off when I pressed the "A" key, but not all of them. Sorry, can't be of any help.

Have you tried with the green arrow pointing up hill?

 

[thegrindre]

Hadn't thought of that. I'll give it a try.

Thanks,

Other then reversing the track layout, I don't know how to change the arrows. I don't want to change the track.

I made flat spots for the cars instead... Oh, well...

In the loco tab use the rotate direction at the bottom right of the consist section. this alters the direction the train faces.

Strainge things happen in Trainz but I doubt forward direction of the car should effect things. Either the brakes are on or they aren't.

I tested it with a fully loaded hopper in TRS2006 - Whitepass' EBT Hopper - on a 6% grade and it didn't move from where it was setout. Green arrow was set pointing down hill.

Edit- Tried the same thing in TRS2004 and no difference - it sayed put. So I don't know what to say. I thought the brakes were set on all the cars when set out. They were on these 2 but who knows.

I thought the same thing, Bob. That's why I posted this one. I don't know all the ins and out of this game yet. It makes me want to test it a little more, now.
