I was goofing around the hump yard, pushing 2 tankers and a box car, I successfully uncoupled from the locomotive from the cars on the fly. Using the shift 3 key to be on the ground very close to the cars. I unlocked the car.
They proceeded to roll rather far down the yard. ( way too far and too quick). Maybe with the right brake wheel tension it could slow to a safe speed.
You can also control the loco from the rear of the train. Need to experiment much more.

Have you seen the YouTube video in which the engineer, having left the cab, climbs the rear ladder of the second hopper and watches loading from there? Unfortunately, I don't have the URL, but might it be possible to hop onto a car's ladder and set its brake from that position?

How'd you get to the hump yard? I haven't yet figured out TSW's version of free-roaming except in services where the minute I enter a cab I'm given instructions.

Tom the last Scenario in the list is a free for all. Do whatever you want.

Hi Tom.
In the scenario/free roam, which you access from the menu, In Cumberland yard free roam. you pick a locomotive, grab a few cars, and negotiate to the hump yard through the interesting #9 map. Clear your switches all the way to your location. Back the consist up the lead hump track next to the tower. I still have to experiment on the many aspects of getting the cars to roll, but I noticed that the consist has to be moving for it to work. I still have a lot to figure out.

I still haven't found the hump yard. How about a screen shot -- perhaps of the 2D map -- showing its location?
