Hi can someone advise an easy way to drive both these great trains i get power on for short time then it goes off with a strange screeching noise, anyone help?

Hello, you probably need to disable Vacma (A safety device on French loco), with shift + K keys, before starting.

And also, don't forget to action the comma (" , ") to release the loco break.

 

It's comma on an AZERTY keyboard, at the right of the "N" keypad.

Hi Lyleman222,

 

There is perhaps no link with your trouble but I have a question: are your tracks electrified or not ?

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Satnur

Hi Lyleman,

 

You should deactivate the VACMA before pulling off your train, just press shift+K to deactivate it. Vacma is a dead man system used in France.
