Can an AI train make more than one pickup from a single siding?

Unread postby OldProf » Sun Oct 04, 2015 11:50 am

I've downloaded a scenario from the Steam Workshop in which an AI switcher that starts the scenario coupled to a passenger coach picks up additional wagons from siding A, drops off those wagons at siding B, drops the coach at siding C, and then returns to siding A to pick up a second rack of wagons located there from the start of the scenario. After dropping off the wagons at siding C, the engine with coach in tow starts to move forward but then "leaps" backward and continues to repeat that combination of actions without ever leaving siding B to proceed to its scheduled drop-off at siding C.

This makes me wonder whether it is even possible for an AI train to pick up two separate racks of wagons from the same siding marker. I'm going to put together a test scenario, but in the meantime would much appreciate comments based on actual experience from other seasoned scenario writers, on the old theory that 2 heads are thicker than 1. No speculation, please.

!!howdy!!
