I’ve set up a couple of AI passenger services, one class 47 and the other class 40, both travelling East to terminate on the coast beyond the Redcar Central area and each time the locomotive is pushing the carriages from the rear. The player train is a class 66 and is working normally pulling several hoppers towards Darlington. I had no problems with another similar scenario where all the AI trains were travelling towards Darlington and were pulled by the same two locomotives as expected from the front. In this case the class 66 player train travelling East was also correctly aligned. Has anyone else seen anything like this or are there any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Solved the problem today. I had set all of the AI route templates (after selecting the actual starting point ) to be Darlington-Saltburn and changing these to Darlington Bay Platform to Saltburn fixed the problem. I’ve no idea why this makes such a difference.
