Jim,For the default options in a new install, can you please disable mainline trains? Paul, Steve & I just had a "wonderful" time dealing with a newbie who crashed THIRTEEN mainline trains before we could help him figure out how to turn the option off. He's getting a crash course in creating, loading, and posting a unit coal train so he can get some $$$ back.This was an extremely frustrating experience, and I don't want to go through it again, nor witness another newbie go through it. Please change this default right away.-Dave
