Just tried Paisley sim. Much enjoyed first attempt. A couple of questions.
What is train FYPD? Falkland Yard Pilot Diesel?? It is in the Yard but where is Falkland yard Pilots as a destination?
0S75 ex 4S75 is at Ayr harbour (light engine) and is listed as going for fuel...but where? Prestwick Oil siding?
All of this brought back happy memories of my time as a youngster when thanks to my dad I was allowed to operate the old mechanical boxes at Largs, Fairlie High and Pier and on one brilliant time at Kilwinning junction.
Thanks in advance.

Assume you are using the default 'Paisley August 2006' timetable ?

If you press F5 you get up the timetable list, and in that you can see the timetable for 0S75/0S751
It goes to Ayr TMD
It then comes back to Ayr harbour as 0S75/0S752 at 0620.

Once a train is in the sim you can either click on the train TD to get the same information, or F2 for the train list and then right click the ID.

'Falkland yard Pilots' is a description, not a destination. Same as above applies for FYDP, although using F2 probably better for that as there are a lot of 'FYDP' TD's but each has a unique ID (UID) 'FYDP-SHUNT#'

1) FYPD is a yard shunter. It shuttles backwards and forwards between various parts of the yard, moving assorted stock and reversing at the headshunt.
2) 0S75 goes to the MPD for fuel. Prestwick Oil Siding is a discharging point for tanks from Grangemouth carrying aviation fuel.

If you look at the TT (left click on the TD displayed on the panel) you can see what the loco/train is scheduled to do.
