A1 Turntable position

[Lancer]

Hi,
Antone know how to position an A1 driver on to the center of a turntable? I have tried a trackmarker, but the engine won't approach to the right position to use the move table command. many thanks,

I have the same problem and have been trying to figure out a solution for awhile. I have been tinkering with the marker radius and that seems to work some.

Check out the Erie Northern by cb001. Be sure to go his website and get the Guide To Operations. There he expalins in great detail how he gets his engines to stop on the table and a whole lot more.

Hi Lancer,

If your trouble is with the loco not going on to the turntable, the problem is possibly the lack of a signal at the end of the track. Place either a rail end or an invisible signal at the very end of the track in the roundhouse. If you want a loco to drive into the roundhouse undar AI control you will need two signals at the end of the track. Using two signals causes the one nearest the loco to show yellow (caution) and the AI driver will drive right up to it.
