A while back I noticed I could not "drive" the engines in a few scenarios. Now I can not move any of them,in any scenario,of any type. I did a game cache verify/update,and restart,but to no avail. The other routes a having no difficulty. I am considering deleting the route and reacquiring,but would rather not. Suggestions?

The locos for this route all have advanced braking features, so be sure you are releasing both the train air brake and the independent (locomotive) brakes as required. All locomotives have the independent brakes fully applied at scenario start. The route includes two manuals, the second of which (wonderfully prepared by Mike Rennie) is fully devoted to use of the braking systems.

Oh my. It has been so long since I ran the route I forgot about the advanced scripting. I also like that the ambient engine sound changes when you open the windows on the GP 7. Thank you,I many times assume the worst,thought there was a problem.
