Spawning power into Sand Patch?

[eatswordfish]

Normally I just run scenarios, but I've been playing around with some of the newer TSW5 features, free roam, and revisiting some older scenarios lately... I want to try adding some power to the Fully Fueled route, making the graded starts a bit easier to manage by having an additional head-end power unit or helper.

In Sand Patch free roam I can spawn a locomotive or consist, but when inside any of the guided scenarios the TAB function is disabled. Strange, as I'm able to easily spawn helper units into scenarios on other routes like Cajon Pass or Sherman Hill. As a workaround I've tried starting in free roam, spawning a pair of locomotives, then initiating a scenario from the trackside icon, but it just deletes the previously spawned locos -- it was worth a shot.

Is there a workaround that anyone is aware of, or is the spawn function just not available in Sand Patch scenarios?

Train Sim World® was were the original release of Sand Patch Grade it was made compatible for Train Sim World®2 then Train Sim World®3 and Train Sim World®4
as for Train Sim World®5 i dont think they have altered the Route much or even at all .
in free roam (walk around) you can spawn a train but i a scenario in Sand Patch you cant with a Mod would help you

They never did much with any of the American/North American content, except maybe figuring out how to add the route hopping with Cajon Pass and Antilope Valley/San Bernadino.

And the sand patch sure could use a remaster.

I certainly enjoy the Sand Patch -- a remaster, some cleaning of various little bugs and route issues, and maybe some additional guided scenarios, like local runs and deliveries, would make it an even better!
