Jointed Rail - Utah Belt GP38 problem

[jigawatts]

I bought the Mega Pack and have a small problem with the GP38, and thought I'd ask here if anyone else has this issue. It seems the physics model is not quite right. If I'm running it by itself as a single engine, and put the throttle in notch 1, it takes off like a Ferrari and will accelerate to 20 MPH and beyond in just a few seconds. And then if I apply the independent brake, it will stop on a dime, 20 MPH to 0 MPH in 1 second. Anyone else have this problem. The SD40 seems fine. I haven't driven any of the others yet. I have sent an email to Jointed Rail, but I know they are busy and thought I should also post here. I hope this post doesn't come across as me griping or complaining.

Thanks,
Mark

the locomotive has since been fixed, but the problem was i missed a '0' in the mass number so it was very very light. the engine specs are very tuned and probably the best you can find, the problem was just that the locomotive was as light as a pickup truck.
