Sherman Hill Brake Fix

Is there a fix available for the dynamic brakes on the ES44AC included with Sherman Hill?

I tried increasing the maximum force, but the dynamics still have little or no holding power.

Thanks,

Rob :D

Dynamics don't have "holding power". They don't even work well at lower speeds.
The railroads use Blended braking mostly. Air and Dynamics together.

Eric:

You're correct. I tried that in a scenario with auto carriers, and a 7 lb. minimum reduction stops the train!

Is there a fix for the Sherman Hill freight cars?

Rob :D

No fix yet. I've done most of my Sherman Hill brakes, but haven't posted a fix yet.
