Spontaneous Uncoupling other than Sherman Hill

Unread postby Ericmopar » Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:21 pm

I've started to have uncoupling issues like Sherman Hill stock, except it's on my Donner Redo route. At least that's the only place I'm experiencing it right now.

It happened between a Donner Pass tank car and a reskin of Mainlines new box car. It's Mike's CN reskin. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

I just had it a couple of days ago on Ohio Steel 2. Happened just a couple of miles from Dover. Luckily I caught it in time, went back recoupled and finished the scenario.

One of the British guys on another forum was saying it's happening to some of their stock too.
That being said, I made a new train to replace the problematic one, and didn't have any issues on the first test drive from Sparks to Truckee. Knock on Wood... !**duh*!!

I have had this happen on several routes and not always DTG routes. Sherman Hill is probably the most common but even Fort Smith to Heavener has done it. Just when I think it won't happen anymore then it happens again. It's been happening for me ever since TS2013 came out.
