A portal question and a consits question

[conrailfan1999]

Okay so I have a few questions about portals: So you can add train the the portals can spawn but do u have go one piece of roling stock at a time becuase i can not find a way to place a consit in there. And also a train that went into a portla and 5 miutes later comes out another and it is always stop is there a way for it to respwan and continue to move?
and a question about consists. I made a loaded stack train into a consist but it was empty when i placed it on a track, can you make consists that are already loaded becuase its a pain to place 100 containers on a train.
thanks for the help!

As far as loading a train, what I do is use Instant load in drivers rules, and then have that as the first command when setting up the consists in the portal. You can also load a saved consist when setting up the portal, there should be a selection for loading a saved consist.

As long as we are talking portals, I have a question, what does a re-rail portal do and how is it used?

 

[sniper297]

Theoretically it will teleport any derailed train onto the rerail portal track so you can run it again. I got it to work once, can't remember how. I don't really derail often enough to make it worthwhile.

A re-rail portal return a derailed train to the session.
Setting up a re-rail portal?
Your exit from the portal must be longer then any train on your session before your first signal or switch.
Check the box re-rail derailed train.
Waite for(I put 1 minute)This don't conflict with other rules you may have to remove derailed trains.
Leave green dots.Rerail Train & Accept all trains.
Now i put, just out side the portal a defect detactor Trigger.(this lets me know when a train has spawed from the portal, AI sometimes derails and you don't know it)

"Your exit from the portal must be longer then any train on your session before your first signal or switch."

That might be what I'm doing wrong, I was assuming if the portal track itself was long enough it would work. Gotta put the portal far away from existing track and make a long long ribbon, see if that works.

 

[sniper297]

Nope. After 15 minutes the lead loco is gone but the rest of the train is still sitting where it was with the yellow X over each car. My guess is for the rerail portal to work at all, the clean up derailed trains rule has to do its thing first, and it's not doing it for me.

Once a train enters one portal and comes out another 5 minutes later it always is stop. Is there a way to make them continue to run so I dont have 2 go one by one and tell that train to navagate to the next location or portal?

Any trazin that comes out of a portal requires a driver and commands just like any train you assign to an AI driver.
