AI Newbie Help

[railsong]

I am interested in getting started into the AI concept of Trainz. I am running TS2010EE. I have built a route and was wondering where to start. I would like to have the loco in the yard go to one of the yard tracks and couple up to the coal cars and then go to the coal mine and load, then go to the power station and unload and return to the yard. I need help with which markers to use, etc. I haven't been able to find a tutorial on just getting started with AI. I have the 0catch tutorial, which does give a lot of information, but not on how to start from the beginning. Any help will be appreciated.....

Getting satrted in Trainz is alot like model railroading only on your PC. Look through the manual to get an idea on how the game works. Try running one of the built in layouts first to see what you think. If you want to built a layout think about if you want to make your own or plan a real one from some part of the country. I like building from scratch and make the layout just fun to run. Don't let the game intimidate you. Just have fun with it. Start small,then grow your layout as you get more comfortable in route building. I'm running 2004 & 2010 and enjoy both. Welcome to the world of Trainz.

Yes, I am enjoying trainz. I have got my train consist to work OK now, but when I run it under AI I have 15 coal cars and only 4 will load at the coal mine. When I drive it manually they all will load. Anybody have any ideas on what is causing this on why they won't load under AI? Thanks.....
