Add an option to $forms & $triggers the would allow them to execute while the ai trains are in motion. This could be used with $speed to control ai train speeds on routes that do not have speed zones.

Allow $speed to set speeds that exceed the "posted" speed limit so the special trains (tilt trains as an example) could travel at higher speeds.

Funny, my problem is always that AI-trains drive too fast .....
An option like $speed="60km/h" would be nice, or maybe even better $speed="70%".
But this is a thought, I do not think this is possible in timetable mode.

(BTW, the route (speed limits) must be OK, otherwise you can correct this)

Speed options are available in Timetable mode. See http://www.elvastowe...attach_id=77330

The modifications I am suggesting would allow you to alter speed limits on routes that don't have speed limits without having to edit the route itself,

Thanks for the information.
Had read the "Time table tutorial", last OR-Manual and documentation at OR, but nothing was mentioned about the $speeds commands, so I did not expect it to exist ......
I see that there are more "hidden" commands, so enough to continue to puzzle.
