Trains reversing in platforms.

[videntis]

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find mention of it so please bear with me. My game used to flip engines around at platforns when reversing but now just seem to go backwards along the route. How can I make it go back to the flip around version? Is this possible? I really don't like the way it looks when they reverse out of the station behind the wagons. Please help!

you turn off the mod that is preventing your trains from flipping around.

I have this happen, with a few trains, not all, & if I remember correctly I have no mod that does this enabled.

it is not default behaviour so either it is a setting in specific trains (presumably modded trains) or you have a mod

It is default behaviour if you got engines in both ends of the train.

did you ever figure out what was causing this? I have the same problem.

are you switches/points too close to the end of your stations/your trains are too long so they are not able to turn around, as the end of the train extends beyond where the switches/points are?

Sometimes when building trains you can put the engine at the wrong end.. (often when replacing trains) make sure you're building the trains with engine placed first, then the haulage after. It would be interesting to see a screenshot to see if the engine is reversed or not.

Try the "Force no reverse" dummy waggon from this mod:

Some locomotives and wagons can run backwards.
The ability becomes more common in later eras.
If everything in the train Can run backwards, the train will run backwards.
If something in the train cannot run backwards, the train will flip instead.
Some mods will alter this behaviour.

Or at least, that was how it worked the last time I checked.
