Loco sits on siding on Wait For Trigger command. Passenger train stops before junction triggering loco to couple to front of train. Helper couples to train and loses his schedule completely. He now has lost his commands on the schedule line and train goes nowhere. The driver of the passenger train takes over and is stuck on his own Wait For Trigger command. This command was intended to make the passenger train proceed on his own schedule after the helper uncouples and goes his own way following the trip over the mountain. How do I rig schedules for both helper and train so this sequence works out properly?
Scenario: train arrives at base of mountain for helper to hook up front, helper tows train over mountain, helper unhooks over the mountain, the passenger train goes on his own merry way and the helper returns to his siding
Is there a tutorial on Trainz helper service setups for Sessions? When each train to be joined has its own driver and schedule in progress there is trouble. How do I make these two trains and drivers cooperate jointly for a helper trip?
Obviously there is only enough room for one captain (or driver) one one ship (or train) at a time. When the helper engine hooks up to the long train, "who" drives the new consist from there?
In 1986, I rode Amtrak from California to Denver. In Utah, a big yellow UP locomotive hooked up to the front of the train and hauled it for some distance then unhooked at one point down the line and both trains went on their own separate respective merry ways.
Is Trainz compatible with this kind of temporary helper service under complete AI control? Are there special commands at DLS for this?
