I've read this thread and couldn't find answers to some questions I have. I've been repainting engines and rolling stock but I want to create at least part of the Illinois Central Route.1. Is there a list somewhere of the key commands for the route editor and if so where? 2. When creating a siding, say I'm heading north, and I lay the right hand turn out no problem. How when I get to the other end do I lay the left hand turn out facing back to the south? I can't get the switch turned around. Tried facing south, nope that didn't work. I'm going to try the arrow keys on the numeric keypad as I've seen them referenced a couple of times.Thanks for your help.David

RE: Hope someone can answer
The way I do this is lay the track to the point you want to put the other switch. Continue with the main line using the 10m straight pieces and go down a good little ways. Now you delete track where the switch will be and replace it with the switch. There is no way to connect the switch without doing this. Hope this helps, Scott

Thanks for the reply. Spent the day teaching myself how to do this.
