Ha yes I’ve noticed the recoil on emergency stops! My problem is I can’t get the thing to start moving especially after enforced emergency stops. It starts eventually after much control waggling, maybe I shouldn’t go through Seven Kings at 103mph..
Some trains will have the emergency plunger depressed so you might have to press backspace to ‘unplunge’ it; some make you go into neutral, move the brake handle into emergency, then move it back to off.
