Could one of you activity writing wizards do one for the Mesaba Electric route? I've tried, but without much success. I put my train into a double-ended siding to wait for an oncoming AI train, but when I do the AI train stops before it gets to the other end of the siding. Apparently when I enter that siding, it also opens the points at the other end stopping the AI train. Is this true?

RE: Mesaba Electric activities
When you are stopped in the siding, back up slightly so that the track monitor shows you as being in reverse. This should get the AI moving.Jake Mensel Sandpatch Dispatch http://www.sandpatchdispatch.tk _________________________
If I back up, regardless of the amount, the AI train "keeps it's distance" from me. If I back up ten feet, he comes forward ten feet. If I back up five miles, he stays with me matching my speed and braking and "keeping his distance."
