Relocating a Train

Normally you place a train where you want it by driving it there.  However, not all situations allow that, and sometimes you find yourself wishing you could just reach out and pick the thing up off the track.  TrainPlayer has a couple of commands for this purpose: one moves a train from its current location to the spot of your choice, the other turns a train around end for end.

To move a train to a specific location:

1. Select the train to be moved.
2. Position the cursor on the destination track, right-click and choose Place Train Here.

The train jumps immediately to an end of the specified track.  If it lands pointing in the wrong direction, read on.

To reverse the direction a train is pointing:

1. Right-click the train on the layout or in a train window.
2. Choose Reverse Train.

The train picks itself up, rotates 180 degrees, and sets down again.

To move or copy a train to a different layout:

1. Have the target layout open in a window on the screen.
2. Unselect the selected car, if any (see Selecting Cars and Trains).
3. Choose Edit Copy to copy or Edit Cut to move.
4. Click in the target layout to make it active.
5. Choose Edit Paste.  The copied train is deposited at the normal new train location.
