UK Screenshots for Pre BR Blue. High resolution warning.

Trying out a Garratt on the S&C as that's the only suitable playground for it that I have in TRS19. Everything else I have is minor lines and branch lines.
One question though; - is the engine spec intended for use with the steam control set? I tried using it and nothing made any sense.

The enginespec is very much intended for cab mode and works fine here - what issues are you seeing?
 
I've also tried the loco in cab mode, I put 30 loaded coal wagons behind it (using one of Anthony's specs) and was able to keep it going over the S&C at about 40 mph with the safeties lifting. That seems about right to me (although I wouldn't claim to be an expert on steam performance).

In terms of performance I was seeing much the same as Ed has reported so I can in no way fault that. It was just that driving like I usually do with equalising steam pressure between the boiler pressure and the steam chests didn't seem to be possible anymore. I couldn't get the injectors to work or raise the level of coal in the firebox. (sigh) Perhaps I should just stick to driving my small 19th century engines.

My experience is that when you can't add coal or water it's often a cab problem.

Which version of the game are you running it in, and do you have <kuid2:116296:13135:3> which is the latest version of Skippers "LMS 2P class cab"?

I'm running in TRS19 Build 117009 and I have the latest version of Skipper's 2P class cab.

I'm baffled I'm afraid. I have a slightly older version of TRS19 (114800) I keep for testing and I've just downloaded 4969 into that and I can add coal and water in that version.

Just double check you've got the latest version of the bogies installed - there was one which got uploaded before there was a fundamental rethink on how to script the model. If you've got that installed (it was for 47995 I think) rather than the latest version that could cause problems.
