Yeah, count me in!  I havent played TTD since Loco came out.  I'm still
working through the scenarios, but to be honest I've done one or two of them
several times cos I prefer to 'world watch'.

I discovered a neat trick too.  Dont know if this has been covered before or
is mentioned in the manual (note to self: must read the manual one day!
 ;) ).  I found out how to get locomotives to run tender-first:

1) Build a locomotive. Do not add any rolling stock.
2) Place the loco on the track.
3) Turn it around with the reverse button.
4) Add rolling stock.

The stock will be added to the *front* of the train and the loco will run
backwards.
