Hey, Ben or someone that can help.

Post by thegrindre »

Hi guys,
Got a problem and don't know where to look or how to go about finding it. It's a new thing to me.

Norm and I are building a... well, it's gonna be a surprise shortly... Problem is, the driving wheels slip, turn too fast when the loco starts moving. My guess is that the ratio versus the wheel diameters is incorrect, (The wheels are a third party bogey. bog0 and bog1, btw.).
Can I adjust this? Is this in a gs file or the config file of the bogeys? :?

Help...

Thanks,
Rick

Take the diameter in inches. Multiply by 3.14. Multiply by 2.54. Divide by 100. Change the animdist tag to match your maths. Let me know who made the bogey so I can point and laugh (especially if it is my own bogey).
Cheers,
Ben

Also, if you have direct-drive set to '1', change it to '0'. There's a bug in earlier versions of TRS that ignores the animdist with this tag set and when in cab mode.

Could you at least give us an idea of what kind of whatever it is? :D Or, will it fit nicely on your western layout?
