I want to build steam scenario. The driver have to refill with water along the route. Halfway on this route, there is a water point and a coal point. You can see this in the 2D Map. But this two points does not show under the Fuel refill points (transfer points) when you create the scenario.
I can mail the route builder and ask him to make this right, but then you have to download the whole route again for a small update like this.
Is there , let's call it a "cheat", with which you can refill with water. Something like pressing a key and the tender is full again?
Thanks for the replies in advance

Don't overlook the real question here :"Is there , let's call it a "cheat", with which you can refill with water. Something like pressing a key and the tender is full again?"
Why would I ask a question like this?
The route is Oudtshoorn to George - South Africa ( oudtshoorn_george.zip at http://www.trainsim.com)
Download this route and then have a look at the station : Camfer. You will see there is a water point at the one end of the platform siding. In the scenario editor when you open the timetable, have a look at the 2 D Map. You will see "transfer 3" here. Now open the Driver instructions and then the " Fuel" tab. You will not see this water point here. Why? Because the route builder did not add a siding marker after he put the water tower and its marker on the tracks in the route.
It would be no problem if the scenario builder can add a Fuel point ( water) marker, but he can only add the following markers : Destination, Platform and Siding.
To make this right, you can just open the route editor, add the fuel point marker to the scenery, save the route and wallah. Not as easy. Now you have to upload the whole route again. I am not the route builder and therefor I may not upload or edit this route. I can do it for my own use only.
I also did add a siding marker to this water point in my scenario, but then the whole timetable become an error after that instruction.
If there is a way that I as the scenario builder can add a fuel point marker to this route, I would be very happy. I mean I can add a lot aof other stuff to the route in my scenario that is scenario specific.
Have a look at my other scenarios in the library under the name : Martin Nel. Maybe this one will be there soon.
Regards.

Re: WATER REFILL POINT
A marker in your scenario overlapping the fuel point should work fine.
I think you may have been too hasty. This is what I would have done:
1. Place the marker
2. Close and restart TS2013
3. Adjust the train schedule to use the fuel point
4. Close and restart TS2013
5. Test the scenario

Thanks. It is working now. Wonder must you close TS2013 first. There are many such things on routes that I could not get right. Then I change my scenario to to fit the route.
