Don and Chris,

I didn't pay enough attention to what was being said. I was talking about Main 1, not Intro 1. I had no problem with Intro 1 the second time I ran it. I was too slow the first time. There was no changing of cabs as I recall. I did meet the 0900 goal the second time and everything came out as expected. I believe that there was a requirement to do a T-key at Union Station prior to uncoupling for the run-around.

Oh, ok. I'll try Main 1 tonight. :-)

Ok, Don. For Main 1, I spotted the 3 tank cars, backed up set the switch and pulled ahead as the instruction said... "Pull ahead to Rigby 101".

Well, the scenario didn't end... Rigby 101 extended behind the location, too and it had a yellow indication on the track display, so I backed up onto it and the scenario ended with "Final Destination Reached".

Don,

That was a bit sneaky. All I saw was the big 101 behind me. I never noticed the little 101 segment by the turntable. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

After re-running the scenario, I found that I had to pull forward to the short segment (turntable) to clear the "Stop at" task on the task list but the scenario still did not terminate. I then reversed back to the Rigby 101 siding and that ended the scenario successfully. I finally got my checkmark! This scenario needs to be revised to eliminate the ambiguity. I'm sure it was never intended to have to visit both 101's to end this.

Hi guys,

I don't have rail joint/point work sounds or EAX effects on the Portland Terminal route. Is this correct?

Thanks!
