Scenario-defined trains

It is possible to create a scenario that does not have any trains, either existing in the yard, or in the timetable. Trains can be created (spawned) at the boundaries of the yard from the timetable, and optionally, from an explicit definition. Additionally, trains can be placed at precise locations in the yard. All scenario-defined trains, either spawning or stabled, are defined within a set of Consists tags:

 <Scenario app="ProductName" description="MyScenario" startDate="1965-01-01" startTime="00:00:00" >
    <Consists loadFromTimetable="true">
        <!-- scenario-defined trains go here -->
    </Consists>
 </Scenario>

To load trains from the timetable defined for this scenario, set the mandatory attribute loadFromTimetable to true. To specify a scenario with no timetable trains, set loadFromTimetable to false.

Defining stabled trains

<ExistingConsist id="9903"
                 physics="8"
                 maxTechAllowedSpeed="40"
                 distance="180"
                 direction="L"
                 type="DL"
                 destination="Arnhem"
                 commDestination="Ah"
                 isEngineeringTrain="true"
                 consistTemplate="13"

   </Occupying>
   <VisitedPlatformStops>Arnhem,4,--:--,12:14</VisitedPlatformStops>

   <UnvisitedPlatformStops>Arnhem,24,08:05,--:--</UnvisitedPlatformStops>

   <MovementOrders>
      <Order type="Uncouple" track="" station="Arnhem-berg" left="loc<9903" leftDir="L" right="9903w" 
            rightDir="R" at="0" newID="9903w" leftCalls="true" rightCalls="false"
            leftCallsForDelay="false" rightCallsForDelay="false"/>
      <Order type="Turnaround" track="" station="Arnhem-Westzijde" />
   </MovementOrders>
</ExistingConsist>

Movement orders

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
??: SpotCarsSpecify
16: MoveTo
17: RunAround
18: ContentChanges
