NumWheels parameter

The second NumWheels value (in eng file) is being used for adhesion when using friction braking. It should only be used for adhesion under power and dynamic braking. The first NumWheels value should be used for friction braking. Joe Realmuto "Eng Manual" in detail.

Wrong movement in reverse when weelslip ocurs

When running in reverse and wheelslip occurs, the locomotive starts pushing the train forward rather than back. The train will actually slow down, stop, and then start traveling forward when the wheelslip indicator is on. For firs investigation it has been a bug in the original MSTS.
