Hello everybody, I'm working on an activity for the FRISCO Sub. of the Missouri & Northern Arkansas. I have a meet at the Mountainburg Passing Track that has an AI train southbound holding the main. The player train is northbound and supposed to take the passing track to allow the southbound to proceed. The problem occurs when the player train takes the passing track. As the player train moves onto the passing track it moves forward until the switch at the trailing end of the train sets for the main but when the train comes to a stop to hold on the passing track the trailing switch flips back and the AI train on the main will not move. Has anyone else encountered this kind of problem? Is this driver error (that is as the train comes to a stop it drifts back and somehow realigns the switch)? I have a similar meet at Van Buren that works just fine so I'm confused about what is going wrong. Any advice, help, suggestions or speculation would be greatly appreciated.John.
