It has to be still realistic though, I suppose railroads and their customers try to keep things as simple as they can.
Also what I like is when my local freight has very low priority and I have to scurry out of the way of incoming fast trains. But I realize the TS dispatcher does not make it easy.
I've actually managed to achieve just that in a scenario titled Cricklewood Duties for the MML - London St. Pancras to Bedford route; the player engine is at the bottom of the priority totem and has other traffic zipping around it like angry hornets, but it only has to stop once. As I added one higher priority AI train after another, testing after each one, I kept expecting the dispatcher to have a fit, but that never happened. Uploading this scenario to Steam Workshop has been an ache in the buttocks: it's accepted, I fill in all necessary information, am even allowed to select my specially designed title image; I accept the terms (after reading every word, of course) and click the Upload button. The little wheel appears and begins to spin ... it reaches 67% . . . and stops dead. "Failed to upload" appears. What a hope! I'll try uploading it here at RWA ... soon.
