Still learning this game, I'm playing through the campaign missions and I'm trying to get trains to work aaaaaand.... nothin'

I've attached a screen shot, just trying to get an engine to work and I've tried placing the stops on both sides and placing the engine over and over again and I still get 'there are no trains'. What am I doing wrong?

place a second locomotive facing the other direction.

Nope, but thanks. Next idea?

You probably have not set a schedule or the loco is not in automatic mode.

Could you please click on the loco and upload a picture of your schedule?

There ya go.

I can't add....
uh.....


wait... fixed it. Didn't know you had to populate the station list. That makes sense! Okay, thanks guys!

Alrighty then.... what am I doing wrong NOW?

I placed the train and it won't go either way. I set it up the same as the other train that works fine. I double checked the rail and I replaced all the missing bits and even made sure it had power.

Its so close, I seriously feel like Happy right now;

Don't worry you will get it soon.The station must be on the right side in driving direction.

right to left: under the rail
left to right: over the rail
top to bottom: left of the rail
bottom to top: right of the rail

In the previous pictures you did it correct.

Yup, that did it. Gah! Thanks!

When placing signals or stops, make sure you check the indicators showing where the train will stop when parked there and also the direction it would be travelling in =)

And remember, a train will only recognise stops and signals on the right of the track from the train's perspective.
