Run Round Train

[dtw11542]

Hopefully a small problem. I am setting up my own route. Everything is fine except for one small point. When I do a 'run round train' command it works but the problem is when the engine crosses the points it carries on a fair way down the track before returning to connect to the train. Is there a command line or something I need to enter to shorten the distance the engine travels. I hope I have explained what I'm after. Thank you. Regards. Dave.

I had a problem like that once. I found that setting the detection radius of the switch points to a small value changed just where the engine reversed to hook up. Apparently, the AI needa to clear the switch before it goes looking for the path back.

Thanks for the info.

This can be very far if in a yard. I use track marks to mark the path I want the engine to take, then a couple at track mark where I want it to couple.

Thank you I will look into your suggestion.
