When I make my activities and consists on my own I can never get engine's
"Back to Back". They are alway's going in the same direction and it is unreal when you you have 6-8 engines. Can somebody tell me how to change that.

Thank's cmftrbll-ed

In the AE or conbuilder, right click on the engine you want to swap end for end. But be aware, there is a bug (surprise) that prevents the trucks on the flipped unit from rotating in the right direction on curves.

AE=Activity editor
Conbuilder - a seperate free program you can use to make/edit consists. You can also use it to check activities. To make sure you have the rolling stock in the right place. You can get it at http://www.3dtrains.com/downloads/utilities.shtml
