Does anybody have a clue? I figure with 50 coal cars behind you it's pretty hard to 'optionally' skip a part of the track...It's also possible the start a 'passing path' at a switch. What is this supposed to do? Activating this seems to make the activity editor highly unstable, but that can't be the only purpose, I hope? . It's also not possible to remove this part later (but you can start the path from scratch).Frank. Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
