You have to click on the "?" symbol and name the 2 portals, and click on the specifications of what you want each portal to consume, emit, and how often.

Not so Tline. I,ve used portals on every layout and never had a problem.
Always use portal manager(AJS site) and youwill find great things will follow. I currently have about 12 trains exiting portals on the midland360 layout and plan more. For consists to return, set up a portal on its own and click the train return with timer. tell it where to go(politely) and watch the action.

Hi,

in order to get a train to teleport between portals, you need to use the
"iportal" - note the "i".

Use these for all the protals on the route, then, as written above, use the "?" button in surveyor.
Then you can set the details of where to send the train (each portal has to have a unique name - case sensitive).

ASAIK, the route is fixed - you can't have train 1 emitted at portalB, then train 2 at portalC.
