RE: Anyone else simulating a hump?
If you are thinking of "Hump" switching, making one is not much different than creating an inclining / declining length of track over a small hill.Using it for pushing uncoupled waggons over it and directing them into sidings of your choice and braking when necessary is impossible at present.O t t o

RE: Anyone else simulating a hump?
I'm not sure it is impossible. I once formed a car with an 'eng' file and had it roll down the Barstow hump to stop at a predetermined place. Not easy, of course, but it's something someone might want to work on. You can have several cars acting as AI "trains", but not sure how it can be made to look realistic at the hump. If one could hide the pin-puller section with some buildings, maybe it can be made to simulate a hump in operation as it keeps generating cars. Anyway, if someone wants to work on it, I think it may be a possibility.
