Ok, I find that after a long trip delivering cars to their destination that I am just too lazy to take the light engines back to their home yard. I have engines scattered and abandoned everywhere. What do you guys think of a feature that would let you cheat and send engines and caboose only back to a desired yard, with no penalty?Jim

I like the idea, it would be very useful.I had about 15 engines that I had for a 125 car train that I delivered fro Auzzie, I smashed into them the other day with a train because I forgot that they were there. It would be easier to send them to either, nearest engine terminal or yard of your choice.

Yeah, That would be great. I like the Idea of being able to send the engine back to the home yard or choosing a yard for return.Andrew

You can currently do it like this:1) Say you have 4 engines on map 1001.
2) Create a train with NO engines and 'ride' it into map 1001.
3) Couple your 4 engines to the cut of cars that you just rode into 1001
4) Edit the name and instructions for the new train.OR1) With the upcoming new feature, you could send the engines to a yard which has a bunch of loose cars and make a train by coupling to the cuts of cars.
2) Then edit the name and instructions for the new train.Jim
