No path driving me mad

Post by jerp »

Hi , I built my first train network (building on what was already supplied in level) and despite having a double-headed engine and loops at the end of each track, I keep
getting NO PATH every time I try and automate the train movement.

Can anyone please help me spot what's going wrong here?

The station is too far from the track so it doesn't count as a valid destination

Also, if you have a double headed train ( loco - car - car - loco ) there isn't any reason to loop at the stations/ends.

( Which might matter if, say, you run out of copper. )

thanks for the help everyone!
I adjusted station position and put the wagons on the other side of the train then everything worked .
