Holding Position with New Consist

[harryadkins]

How do I keep the consist from shifting position when I'm adding cars? This issue is much worse when I try to add cars quickly. Moving the complete consist doesn't work well for me either.

That's rough Harry. What I usually do is make the consist not connect to the engines then add the consist in. I do 6 or 7 cars at a time and have the select all button checked. It is a real pita when you make a long train and it moved on you, then try backing it up.

Do any of you create your consists in the QD Editor and then just add them to the scenario?

I only played with the QD editor once to make the 1 scenario we have for Lafayette. Not familiar with much of it at this time. Robbit did a bunch of QD things for a bunch of different routes. Have not seen him around in a while.

I created the consists with rw tools for the qd scenarios then you add them with the consist spawn marker for qd scenarios. But what i do in your instance is to just add the cars you want first and not worry about them moving. once you have all the cars added then remove the ones at the front (just as many as you need to remove to fit the engine to where you want it) then add the ones you removed to the rear.

Thanks for the help guys.
