Multi Headed Trains question

How do you create multi headed trains, as i cannot find a way of doing it, do you just drag an engine onto another engine or what?

Please help!

Thanks
Dave

I never use them:lol: , but it has something to do with the Crtl-key.

Download the manual from this link:

Yes, just hold down CTRL and click "Buy vehicle" and you will get one more loco on your train

The new loco can be moved around like a carrage, and the direction it faces can be changed with the CTRL key also (hold it down and move within your train).

If in doubt, read the maunal! Theres a great one in a help book format. Now all you need to do is find the thread....

It can be usefull in early mountanious games with good trains. I use it only occasionally though.

I agree entirely - like when u need to get that food up the mtn at a decent pace - add a few engines

Once the CS 4000 comes out though, you don't need double heading very much (that thing eats mtns alive!)

Owen, can you remove the search button, nobody uses it anyway

Nobody ever finds search options. Maybe a search field immedeately next to it? Maybe then people will notice.

Top of the page, under

Second link in the first row.
EVERY forum has a search option, and in EVERY forum people forget to use it.

you know when you make a double headed train and 1 of the engines breaks down will the other train keep the cargo moving or will it stop with the broken 1???

No ... everything depends on main train (this buy without Ctrl-key)

Whole train stops. The driver is in the 1st loco, the others are all electrically hooked up so they just power the loco (they are called "dummy power cars" on things like the Eurostar and the Intercity Trains. Also on frieght trains in Oz here we use them like that
