Hi
About 2 months ago I arrived in the world of Trainz (T22 Platinum Edition). And wow what a ride, getting my head in to how it all works and at times just keeping my head above water with all the new knowledge, technicalities and creative possibilities.
Firstly, I have really enjoyed discovering and downloading all the wonderfully created Routes, mainly UK themed ones. I especially enjoy Routes that have associated Sessions, so I can just watch trains go by which is a very absorbing pastime. I have a leaning towards BR Blue and late steam, but modern also grabs my attention.
So far I have got my head round Sessions and how to create them, consists, driver commands, industries and creating load and unload trips. I am starting to experiment with more complex commands and also Portals, including Quick Portal Manager.
Whilst I have many questions, some, I just cannot seem to find the answer on the forums, N3V Trainz wiki or tutorials. So I though I would start off with just one question, where searching has not got me an answer.
I would like the ability to create a consist to enter via a portal where the coaches or wagons are a pre-defined saved consist but the loco is randomly selected for a list of applicable locos I set up to operate that train. For example a consist of a rake of MK 1 coaches with a random loco selected from a list of say Class 31, 37 and 47 locos in different liveries or running numbers. So far I can only see that the portals can spawn random saved consists where the loco is saved as part of the consist.
Thanks in advance for help.
