Funny Stuff from the NS-AND Route

Unread postby fraserm » Fri Jul 06, 2012 3:53 pm

I'm in the Norfolk Southern Atlanta North District Route running the "Dalton Delivery Part 1" scenario and I'm backing up to couple to my consist. I'm facing forward because on this loco I can't see behind so I'm coupling "by feel". Watch what happens as I approach the consist at about the 17 second mark. It looks like I'm ejected through the windscreen! !*roll-laugh*! I turn around and "something bad has happened" to the cab! I get back to "normal" by using "2" to view the outside, then "1" to get back into the cab. After that I can complete the scenario without issues. Haven't tried it on the gamer yet, I'll do that tonight during the Red Sox / Yankees game. It doesn't look like a one-time thing, it's happened every time I've tried to run the scenario on the laptop. Just funny, is all... Check it out:

Not asking for solutions, just thought it would be enjoyed by the community.

BTW - I did have to edit the scenario in order to have it complete successfully. There was a destination in the timetable, but no "stop at destination" (Dalton-Hair Siding) instruction, so the scenario would not end gracefully.

Best,
Marc

Either that or your conductor is getting even for something by "misjudging" a coupling. *!lol!*
