Yard Duty - Beta 1.0.51 Released – image 2

New Features:
1) You can now send engines and caboose to another destination by using the 'Bye' button. (Note that there are now 3 options when removing a train.) This feature makes it easier to keep locos
at a central location (i.e. an engine terminal) and dispatch the power where it is needed without having to actually ride the engines to the map. (Who likes riding light engines anyway?) Also, after delivering freight it makes it easy to return the engines to their home terminal.2) You can now toggle to the previously selected car by pressing the 'T' key. Very useful!Improvements:
3) When exiting to another map, you can now pause the 3 second timer, by unchecking the new checkbox.
4) When, creating a new train, you are now limited 100 freight cars. There is no limit when coupling in yards.
5) When lines are populated with cars, each car on a partiualar line is assigned the same destination.
6) When you go to a map, it is also selected in the 'Selected Map' list. Similarily, you can select the currently loaded map in the list using the menu command 'Map\Loaded Map\Make Selected Map'Fixes:
7) Mainline trains always enter forward now.Enjoy,
Jim
