You can define movement orders for each scenario-defined train, either a spawning train or stabled train

The following types of Movement Orders are available:

  0: Renumber
  1: Turnaround
  2: Couple
  3: Uncouple
  4: Call
  5: ChangeDriver
  7: PullUp
  8: StopShort
  9: StopAhead
 10: SwitchLock
 13: StableCars
 14: SpotCars
 16: MoveTo
 17: RunAround
 18: ContentChanges
