Reversing driver directions

[billhughes]

Hi. Is there any way to reverse a train so that it will follow driver directions, but in the reverse order. What I mean is, if I have a set of commands to navigate to trackmarks, wait for certain time then navigate to next trackmark etc, is there any way at the end of the trip to tell the driver to reverse the route, stopping at the same places etc but in the reverse order, without having to enter all the instructions (in reverse order) again? (Like in a shuttle type of service )

No is the quick answer. The wait for time would be on the wrong side of navigate to TM for a start. If you are going to have several trains use the same commands then put them in the schedule library. One set of commands for each way and then all you need in the train commands list is to insert the schedule command to read which list needs to be loaded.

To add to what stagecoach said, use Copy Commands From ... driver command to copy the schedule from the library to the driver schedule bar.

Off Topic: @Stagecoach - I see that your Load At command is in the DLS cleanup list. Were you planning to fix it or has it passed its 'sell-by' date?

Expanding what Trev said: I do this now by just making a reverse schedule (a new one just he opposite to the first one). At the end of your run, do a copy commands to this reversed one. If you want to continue the runs, do another copy commands to start the first one and your consist will run all day long. I have several trains doing this including reversing locos and all. And it works like a charm.

Load at was created by someone else sometime ago who gave me permission to upload it as they did not intend to participate in the upload process. Don't know what is needed to be done at present to up date it. Big computer non functional at present.

Thanks for the reply, stagecoach. I'll have a go at fixing it.
