Pantographs on AI trains: how do you keep them lowered all the time?

I was wondering how to make the pantograph on an AI train stay down from when it starts or comes onto the layout from a portal. I have seen a couple of posts on this, but this particular point has not quite been settled.

I have tried the following unsuccessfully:

1. I have used the driver commands relating to the pantograph, but as soon as it is lowered, it extends up again immediately.

2. I have downloaded "pantograph trigger" <kuid2:75134:77005:1> and placed it strategically, but again it does not lower the pantograph when an AI train passes over it.

Is there any other way? Is there anyway to alter the config sys file of a locomotive so that the default position is always the pantograph being down at all times? Or some other way?

many thanks

You could try removing the anim tag/line from the pantogragh config.txt, it will be in the mesh-table. It will have a .kin file that animates it and is not required.
