Hi William,

What controls do you believe are missing and have you reviewed the manual?

Hi William,

It's a Pro Range item so doesn't feature simple controls so you'll need to refer to the manual to control it as with all other Pro Range Add-Ons. If you can't read the manual and play the game at once then I wouldn't recommend purchasing anything within the Pro Range as they are designed to be more complex and as a result are much harder to control.

Just to add to this, basically here's how to get it working:

Press and hold 'E' to unlock the reverser. Then press and hold 'W' to turn the reverser handle for a few seconds. then release the brakes using the ; key. Now you should be ready to go. Press 'A' to make the train move. Hope this helps!

Not quite. It's perfectly possible to implement Simple Controls in Pro-Range add-ons. I've done it myself in all of mine. It just takes some extra scripting and setup in the blueprints.

Not everybody including myself has the Nous to be able to do that.

Clarification: I was referring to developers, not customers, of Pro Range locos. When I said "in all of mine", I meant all the Pro Range locos I myself have developed for TS. The FEF-3, Consolidation, Jupiter, UP119 and Buffalo all support Simple Controls. It just takes some know-how and quite a lot of extra work on the part of the developer.

Got ya mate.

Even the pro line steam locos (most of the time) arnt hard to get going with only a few buttons pressed or mouse movements, sure your not going to be the best driver or fireman first time out.. A few dry boilers maybe some accidents.. But everyone learns from mistakes

Simply saying your disabled is an excuse, an all encompassing catch cry that you seem to be using as justification to fault things

Provide some details of said disability and maybe some helpful person may break down train operation into understandable ways, possibly gaining a friend in the process..

saying i r disabled and dlc bad helps no one and nothing.. Least not yourself

William - if you have disabilities affecting your use of this locomotive I think you should contact Steam and ask for a refund on this product. Although there are generally time limits on refunds, I think in the circumstances they should be accommodating.

See https://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds and follow the link at the bottom of the page. Have somebody help you if you have reading difficulties and make sure they explain the circumstances.

Glad you found it!

One thing to know, in my screenshot I have created a custom consist - the black Royal Scot with the blue and grey coaches is something I combined myself. I was inspired to do it by watching this video, which has footage of a Black 5 carrying a similar kind of train.

That's because generally speaking, reverser should be around 20 to 30%, and regulator should be at 52%. This will allow you to reach up to 90mph on level track with the Royal Scot, with 10 coaches.

Also, clicking the option to stoke the fire on the HUD doesn't actually do anything. You need to click that icon, AND then press CTRL + R which turns on the automatic fireman. Otherwise, your fire will just reduce and reduce and eventually your boiler pressure will collapse.

Another useful thing to know is that if you press F5 twice, you can see exactly how much steam your train is generating, and how much it is using.

Hope this helps!
