Hi all i have a few questions that i need to answer for my current activities for DC version 6 any help and explanations of how to do it would be most welcome.
A. From my experiments with the first of 5 activities i know you can get a AI to attach to you but my question is can you get a AI to de attach and head off in another direction from you on arriving at station?
B. How do you create a activity (i have romsey rounder in mind) where you do a run the come back to station (p6) unload shunt to siding and attach. after succesful attach this ends the activity.
C. How can platform sharing be achieved at southampton as for a current activity under test i would like to arrive behind a 377 but i dont get signal untill AI is out and through the tunnel to go into platform.
there is one more i wanted to ask but im not sure what it was so i will let you all know when it comes to mind.
Cheers
Matt

I dont think so, although I may be proved wrongA. From my experiments with the first of 5 activities i know you can get a AI to attach to you but my question is can you get a AI to de attach and head off in another direction from you on arriving at station?
I did this once for LBE but broke it down into two activities, starting the second with the AI uncoupled and sitting just in front of the player service. At the appointed time the AI service left and then, when it cleared the section, the player service got the road 
At the time i thought it looked pretty neat It sounds like you still have the default action event "Stop at last station" still active. If you open the action events box you should be able to delete that and the activity wont end. You will have to place a location event in the siding to complete the activity. Remember that if you are pushing the train in reverse the loco has to trip the location event, so you must place it near the start of the siding not near the buffers.B. How do you create a activity (i have romsey rounder in mind) where you do a run the come back to station (p6) unload shunt to siding and attach. after succesful attach this ends the activity.
Usually this can be achieved by simply pressing the TAB key to pass the controlling signal at danger.C.
