Many thanks for the replies, its nice to get the info......

Now this is not in any urgent or anything but one thing I always thought would be good is to have a dispatch or controler screen where one had overall control of the system as controllers do in real life. For the iron ore lines one could pause the sim inspect the traffic and set the required signals to hold the particular train and resume driving. One would need a reasonable amount of either intelligence in the controler or a reminder that a train/trains were held. In the case under discussion I assume it would not be to difficult to auto clear the signal holding the AI train once the train one is driving is clear. It would be dificult/impossible to simulate a decent sized network but for a lot of activities this would be OK.
