George: on my rr I use a 9 delay (global) for a typical 15 train session. I started with a delay of 15 but as I rolled a session over the long delay relative...

I set my yards at each end of the layout as tracks in a town/city. Trains originating there can get cars from the yard and the industries, and likewise at...
yes - just as in the origin and termination yards. as an adjunct to your operation consider the possibilities on an interchange here - RailOp does a great job...

George is right - the local moves and the total moves need to be big enough to take the cars. The program default to 5 moves per town. Should that prove to...
