ME-Stadtwald-Dusseldorf-Return

Up bright and early for the morning DB612 DMU service from ME-Stadtwald to Dusseldorf Hbf and return.

web•TrainSim has tested this activity after adding more traffic. However he's found he can only get back as far as ME-Zentrum at a red that doesn't seem to want to change. His theory is that MSTS may be confused because of the reverse path going back to end on a single track from where it started so may never change. Anyway, it's a good drive up to there.

Due to a quirk in MSTS, the Next Station display won't show your stop at Dusseldorf Hbf. Use your judgement as to the length of time you remain at the platform. You'll have to give yourself time, anyway, to make your way to the number two driving end and probably sign some autographs for your enduring fans.

This activity has been compiled into a zip file with Route Riter so you can see what files you need to install.
