Tweaking the Bigboy again *!rolleyes!* . Trying to find a middle of longhauls with 35-50 cars and shorthauls with 10-25 cars. Machnist, I will update you when I'm done.

Cant' wait to run the Bigboy and Challenger over Sherman Hill. Need a UP wood and/or bay window caboose to go with the rest of the steam era rollingstock.

I need to update you also with my new settings for brake pipe rate, boiler water level, and Live Injector. Let's exchange settings and get a middle course tweaking. That's a thing that is hard to some "normal" users understand: if you tweak performance to haul a heavy consist, your light steam (engine and tender) departs like a Drag Racing Locomotive with a rocket on the rear end of tender, reaching 20mph in less than hundred meters in couple seconds (which is totally unrealistic also). Find the average is the challenge thingy.

Funny for today. Tried to run your scenario and forgot I had not done the performance upgrade on the Big Boy. It spit up on the first real grade. !*roll-laugh*! !*roll-laugh*!

Fixed and rerun. Nice job on the scenario.
*!!thnx!!*

The GTrax Locos are pretty good! I don't think there's any reason to mess with them.
