Sorry couldn't advance edit my post, so here's the train...

It's a lovely line but think I needed to put more power on my train, 2 x GP40 for 2.2 Hp per ton just isn't cutting it on the 1.75 up to Searles. Down to 10 MPH with constant sanding, luckily there...

It has all gelled together nicely. Train 1 broken down into respective portions. I'm now stood at the signal coming off the Sanborn Line waiting for Train 2 to take over and run into Yard Track 2,...

I seem to have had more success this afternoon... You actually do get a very slight animation of the knuckle moving if done right. I indeed discovered that you may need to "ease up" to put in slack....

I'll give that a try, I was only opening one of the knuckles (knuclehead!).

Sorry to sound like a newb on this, but first time I've attempted to do any shunting.

Got the first portion of my Trona train into Mojave and attempting to break it down into sections, so I can...

And it seems in this case the complaint should have been dismissed with, "Get a life", if from what we can tell it was someone daring to mention the name of another product in the Run 8 area. We all...

Only seems to be the Run 8 area which gets this type of moderation, for chrisake it's a forum and some thread drift is to be expected. No different to a bunch of guys (or gals) down the pub, having a...

Couple more... The second one it has now become dark and I've paused for a "meet" with Amtrak at Phelan.

Thanks Fred!

Much better than what we've got here at the moment - cloud, sleety drizzle and 3C temperature, oh and the threat of a more rigorous lockdown...

...is a nice place to be!

Or Run 8, especially since (just about) figuring out how industries and car forwarding works!

Update:
I think I got it now guys. After a bit of trial and error, I was able to spawn in two trains, one at LA, one at Seligman both with traffic for the Trona branch. Got them both heading for...

Thanks Brad.

I grabbed that Brad, which is how I ended up stood at Searles looking at the designated tracks. placing the cars and wondering what to do next.

So if I read what you say correctly, you can't...

Well I just added the Trona branch to my collection... Aside from working out the car forwarding (see my other thread), how the heck do you use it? There's no dispatcher board added for the section,...

Okay well I've found my way around the various industry sub menus. However when I jump to Searles Yard (yes I finally bought Trona!) identified the loading point and populated it with the correct...

Thanks for the help guys... I will take a deep breath later and jump in!

Too long didn't read... Think it started out as a Reddit saying.

Thought I'd start a separate topic on this...

I would really like to have a go at the car forwarding and loading system to put a bit of purpose into the game. Is there any sort of easy to follow...

Whether SP or MP IMHO the big problem is it's all a bit abstract - most people are driving their trains around with no real goal or purpose.

I know we have the car forwarding system but not been...

...off to the naughty corner. Can I say tl:dr??

I think one of the 3DTS MSTS routes (Cajon?) also implemented that.

Glad you're enjoying it. Fun comes when you take multiple jobs at The Harbour and try to drag them up the hill. Not quite so difficult now you can multi up two locos but it was very challenging in...

Ditto here. No interest in MP whatsoever - would much prefer 3DTS effort went into coding an improved AI despatcher/signaller and allowing us to set up trains with destinations and a...
