Hi all

I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the amount of sand used in the loco's .eng file. I'm trying to change it from infinite to 0.5 cubic metres (As quoted from PN NR loco datasheet that they kindly sent me) and cannot find anything in Rudolf's eng manual.

If someone could assist me it would be appreciated

Cheers

Sand in the eng file is not measured in volume but time

MaxSandingTime( -1 ) = Infinite sanding

MaxSandingTime( 30 ) = Sanding lasts for 30 seconds

Divide the amount of sand in the loco (0.5 cubic metres) by the delivery rate and you have the sanding duration.

This is OK for diesels, like many parameters it does not work on steam
