Getting Started:
- If you have already closed the opening message window then the first step is to pause the session by pressing the P key.
- If you decide to set the session clock to a different starting time (for example: to match the train timetable shown below) then follow the instructions shown in the Orders section
- Next locate your loco. Either:-
- Open the Finder Tool (press Ctrl F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco, for example SAR T 200 (or just T 200 should be enough). Click the tick icon, OR
- Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and then scroll through the list to find either:-
- the loco name (e.g. SAR T 200) OR
