Hi community, I'm trying to create an Activity only by using OR as Path editor and the TSRE5 as Activity Editor.
I've just figure out that there is something different from the MSTS AE editor and basically is not possible to invert perfectly the direction of the Train and so to complete the reversing process.

Just to clarify what I'm trying to create is the follow:

1) The train is composed by 1 Locomotive and different Carriages;
2) My train is coming from point A to point B which is the Reversing station;
3) Went to the point B, I need to detach the Locomotive and to move it through different paths until I can attach that on the tail of the train;
4) Once the Locomotive is attached at the tail of the train, I can invert the direction of the train in order to return back to the point A.

So far it seems to be a really easy process, but is not. I guess it can be only a play of the Reversing Point inside the Path, but OR Path Editor cannot support the multi-layers of the track section.

Here you can find the issue:

Inside the last image you can see that once I placed the latest Reverse Point to change the direction of the Train, for some reason Open Rails removed the rest of the path. It seems that OR doesn't store the path steps but basically there is only one layer of path that you can actually modify.

Now, the questions is: is that possible to create such thing in Open Rails? And if yes, what is the best solution?
Keep in mind that the double Locomotives (one at the Head and one at the Tail of train) is not a Viable solution as per Simulation purposes.

Thanks
