Pokey 2 Options

If you have not checked the templates section of this web site recently, you will now find the Pokey 2 template, which is completely redesigned for AG3.  I had mentioned several weeks ago, prior to this site being hacked, that an update was in the works and we would need help testing.  Well, Steve and I decided to post Pokey 2 as a beta.  Have at it!  Please let us know what you find that doesn't work, and please let us know of anything that you think is missing.  Have fun, but remember that this is a beta version!!!

Well, I've found one interesting issue in the new Pokey.  I suspect that this was also an issue with the previous template and I just never found it. 

Heading up the Dry Fork branch from Auville, I met an AI train at Lester Siding, MP 13.5.  The lead AI loco was past his red signal, holding the main, but my train had just enough room to enter the siding.  Unfortunately, the AI train started moving before I was completely into the siding, and nailed my caboose.  I was running at restricted speed, of course.  I may try it again at a high speed to see if I can get in before the AI train can move.  Visions of the Fast Mail vs. No. 19 in "Emperor of the North"!!!  If increased speed can't get me in, then I don't know of a workaround for this other than to wait at Auville for this train.

I think that this is an issue with the route, not the template.
