I have found there is some kind of limit on shunting that relates to the total number of AI trains. I had a similar situation, where I had an AI loco assemble a train and depart while the player waited at a station. It was one of the first things I did and I honed it until I was very happy that I had the amount of movements and time taken to be just what I needed. I continued to develop the scenario, adding passing trains as I went, and, for no apparent reason, the shunting suddenly failed. In the end I dropped the assembly and just had the train depart, which continued to work, but adding more AI started to give strange results. The trains would appear with red lights to the front, for example.
