    Once a train has been placed (see ../../../../tiki-index.php?page=Placing+a+Player+Train" rel="">Placing a Player Train ) you need to add a driver. The properties of the driver are used to determine where the train will go and how the train will be controlled.

    />Select the Driver icon from the top of the Browser tab then click on the locomotive you wish to drive.<o:p>

    /><o:p>

    />A Driver icon is placed at the front of the locomotive. Double-click this icon to open the Driver properties. Each locomotive can only have one driver.

    /><o:p>

    />Drivers are either player-controlled or RailWorks-controlled? (known as AI-Trains). In a standard Scenario, there can only be one player-controlled train, the remainder must be AI trains.

    />
    Now that a driver has been assigned to the train, the driver needs to be given some properties before the train can be driven.
