So I load up the session and I see... This...
Edit: Well this is new... Apparently this is happening at the back of the train...
Edit 2: I'm starting to think I have a database corruption...
You knew this was going to happen. Guess what? It did.

When Trainz 12 goes bad
I decided that since the Trainz 12 SP1 Patch was just released and installed, I was going to try the
Southern China Passenger Session. Before SP1, I had never been able to
complete the session as the AI trains in front either go stuck or came
off the tracks - either way, the game blamed me for stuffing up.
So I load up the session and I see... This...
Oddly enough, the locomotive still happily pulls the train, despite the obvious gap...

Letters - Two Lords
1105AD
To Lord Bulwark, current Lord of Castle Darius
I write to request your aid in the defense of the Eastern Passage. My scouts have recently informed me of several soldiers crossing the river at a shallow point and I believe that my current station of archers will not be strong enough to resist their advances.
I have been made aware of a number of your forces and to the best of my knowledge, you are not in any immediate danger from threats - indeed you appear to have a surplus of soldiers in your army. I request that you send a group of twenty Long-Swordsmen in order to maintain the defenses. If you have any other soldiers which could aid in the defense, that would also be grateful.
As payment for your aid, I will send 1000 Gold to cover expenses.
Many thanks
Lord Philip

To Lord Philip, current Lord of Castle Basten
Lord Philip, I recognise your need for soldiers. However, what I do not recognise is your lack of soldiers. You appear to have a far grander economy than me, especially since you are quite capable of simply sending me 1000 Gold. I would have thought that your excessive Gold would have been more than enough to train your own troops. Surely one such as yourself should have enough resources to hold off the enemy force?

To Lord Bulwark
Lord Bulwark, while it is true that I do have enough resources and I do have a strong economy, your own kingdom is unique in it's strength of individual troops. Your swordsmen are of a stronger class than my own and right now I am expending my own resources to defend the other two passages from the enemy's advance.
My Steward has handed me a report on the current war and it is clear to me that you, while strong in defense, have made little to no attempt at advancing on the enemy. Your troops are strong - and numerous. Surely they would relish the chance to do battle with the enemy?
I hope you will reconsider not sending your troops to my aid. The enemy is almost upon me and your help would be greatly appreciated.

To Lord Philip
I am glad that you recognise the strength of my men, for they are indeed formidable. However, I currently have no troops to spare. All of my resources, including troops, are currently preparing the castle for a siege attack from the enemy. I apologise, but I must look to the security of my own kingdom before I can defend another. I hope you understand.

1105AD
To Lord Bulwark
Lord Bulwark, I do NOT understand. I do not understand at all. The enemy forces are not able to reach you at all without going through me. I already maintain a sizeable force on the Northern Crossings which are currently of sufficient strength to hold off the enemy. However, it is extremely difficult for me to maintain the defenses of three crossings, especially when my ally, safe behind me on the plains, is sitting around building up his castle and not caring about what happens to his friend?
Please, reconsider. I am on the verge of losing The Eastern Crossing to the enemy, and thus, my land may be at risk.

To Lord Philip
Lord Philip, I see that you indeed are having a difficult time maintaining the defenses of three crossings, but rest assured, I am sure that you are capable of doing so.
I am already building my army with which I will use to crush any resistance. Fear not, all will be made right.

1106AD
To Lord Bulwark
Lord Bulwark, your selfish motives have cost me much land and many resources. I have lost access to my Gold and Stone mines and even now the enemy uses my land to support their own troops. As of this moment they have setup camp outside my castle and are preparing to lay siege.
My troops, as valiant as they are, were unable to maintain the defenses of the Northern Crossings after The Eastern Crossing fell. I am being pressed in from two sides and even now my remaining soldiers are not feeling good about the oncoming battle.
I have attempted a rousing speech to increase their morale, but the solid fact is that the odds are stacked well against me.
Please, I am begging you for assistance.

1106AD
To Lord Philip
Lord Philip, you ask of my assistance, and I shall give it to you. This will be my last letter to you and I believe you will soon understand why. Please see to reason why I had to do this, as I believe my motives are just and honourable.
As of right now, I have sent a battalion of soldiers to your keep. They will enter respectfully and gracefully and the commanding officer will formally request your surrender. Times of war are upon us and it is in my best interest to make allies of those you made enemies.
Thank you, it has been a pleasure conversing with you.

1106AD
To Lord Bulwark
Your soldiers have been sent home, the guard standing upon the gatehouse did not even let them in, as per my instructions. If what you say is true, then I have no choice but to end our alliance. You have made an enemy of me, Lord Bulwark. It is something that I promise you will regret. I advise you to rethink your strategy.
After tiring of your inability to reinforce my troops, I took the liberty to inspect the guards of your own castle and create my own backup plan. As you read this, you may notice a large number of soldiers removing the fake colouring from their shields and armour.
My troops have been instructed to let you live, but only to let you surrender your lands. It has not been a pleasure dealing with you, and I am sure that the next commander of the keep will be more trusting.
