"6. Dispatching Trains with any Shape: You can now build trains in all shape and forms with different turns using all available freight cars. ALL the coupled cars will now be dispatched along with the locomotive. They don't need to be in a straight line anymore."
If trains don't need to be in a straight line for all of them to be dispatched then shouldn't the long cars have more than 2 directions to turn in order for this to work?

It took me a bit to add one to trial, but if you go to my link of 'Gone Fishin' then to Farm one you can see it done. You may have to turn off the trees and flowers and it is in the bottom left hand corner.

Hope it helps.

oh thanks so much Helen.. I will take note of that. Youre a legend x

going to check out your farm. thanks again

Have we got the people we were promised yet and if so does anyone know where to look for them? I have looked but can not find them.

there was mention of the people (they will be in the store), and of the next freight cars in post #1 yesterday.

There is a one day delay, so they will, or should be, released later today, Tuesday.

When changes are made, or when problems are resolved, it is in post #1 of the release where that information and update appears.

Hi,

i used one of the ordinary boxcars (not the long one on the bend itself as they have 6 views, that seems to work as Helen has previously said. it does take a little practice to get it looking just right. Later when i update the Game Guide with the new trains, i will also post a pic there to show how going round a corner can be done

sorry but im disappointed with the cattle train thingy.. i was all set to buy a load of trains because I thought the cattle train would give produce not animals. dont get me wrong .. handy for those starting out who need to stock up animals rather than wait for gifts but for those who are at top level it doesn't really help.

so back to not buying trains but rest of update good
