Ra the train to load coal on 5 cars, Deliver, connect the engine to the other end of the train. Now that engine was facing backwards with the tender in the lead. The 45 minute trip back to the yard was without incident. Th next move was to disconnect the engine from the consist. Remember it was no facing backwards with the tender in the lead. The train pulls into the yard, stops and a disconnect is issued to uncouple the engine. Unfortunately, the tender now has the traditional position of an engine and the poor AI fails to notice this. The tender is disconnected and, under its own power(!) it proceeds to assume the instructions intended for the engine.
Looks like a basic flaw in the coding that fails to recognize the new engine position and just assume that the engine is still in the lead. AI assigns mysterious powers to the tender, uncouples it and it assumes the engine's instructions. Time to get out the coding pads.
