I hope you appreciate this. What started out as a curiosity, turned into an obsession. And I spent all day Friday on this. I was successful in getting the tracktrain to work on my one sample (de_survivor). But I'm looking for another example to verify that it fixes it. Also, I don't have a sample that empliments the func_traincontrol entity, so I haven't been able to verify whether or not it still works with my fix. So while thing look very promising, nothing's confirmed yet. And I hate to jump the gun and end up looking stupid.

I'm pretty sure this will fix it for you. It worked for me.rnrnThe problem isn't with the func_tracktrain, but instead, its with the path_track entities. And the trick is to block the resetting of the 'path_track' entities upon map start. Why this works, IDK.rnrnIn the zip I've included the plugin (source and compiled) and a sample map that uses a tracktrain with controller. It runs fine.rnrnEnjoy
