Could you include the fix for the amps being cut out when there's brake cylinder applied in the SD45?

In the SD45 Engine Simulation file, the setting is "CylinderPressureForBrakeToCutPower", and it should be set to 0.

Did you make sure to release the Independent Brakes before applying the Throttle?

UPDATE: I've corrected an error I made with the NP Wide Vision Caboose. The path for the numbering DVSC was wrong, which made the caboose have no numbering. I changed the pathing to where the numbers on the caboose would show.
