driveing in the right direction

[Henri16]

Hi, how can I get the trains to go in the direction i want, and how can i lket then stop in the exact spot i want?
I have made my first small track with two stations. And i just want the train to follow the circle from station to station, but it just goed back and forth. Also i doesn't stop right in front of the srtations. I already placed a direction marker on the rail and set the train in the disired direction. But it just does wat it wants.

So what am i doing wrong?

If you haven't already, you might want to read through the tutorials here: http://trains.0catch.com/tutorial.html
There's lots of good info there that might help you figure out what the problem is.

Henri,

Look up how to place Trackmarks in the Trainz manual. You add them in Surveyor. Place them where you want the locomotive to stop, say, the length of the locos and tender (if steam) past the station. Give the Trackmark a name.

Then when you start your train in Driver, use the "Navigate To Trackmark" and click on the trackmark's name in the alphabetical listing of names that appears. Your train will stop at that trackmark. Use the "wait for" function to set how long the train should wait. Then repeat the process to have to your train go to and stop in the right place at other stations.

You can also save complete paths. This all should keep you busy! I hope this will get you started.

Suckow's suggestion to use those tutorials is excellent. They are a great reference. I've saved them, and use them often.
