Then right click to not put another one and click on the bottom of the marker, and a window at right opens: type there your origin point (it doesn't have to be an existing place, type whatever you like (but this will appear as origin in the list of quick drives) Very important : select front/center/back of your train. Make sure the direction is right ! (it automatically points to North, change by shift and click on it).

For example: you like a free roam scenario on the route Munchen to Garmisch with a UK Class 90 starting at Starnberg: Select Satrnberg as starting position and put your train there AND give it a driver ! (Very important to give it a driver icon, looks like the head with hat on the left upper) For Quick Drive scenarios: Go to the place you want to start, and unther 'infrastructure' (that sign with the old signal) you find 'Marker Player Spawn Point' : put it near the track and the arrow that comes with it ON the track where you want to start. With the little blue box with a yellow arrow on the left you can add all rolling stock you have. For a free roam scenario: Go via building > scenario > Free Roam scenario > select a starting place and give it a name. As long as no other moving trains are involved, it's done in 5 minutes. You can always and very easily make your free roam or quick drive scenarios. You just need to add some alternative route/loco DLC content (that contains these scenario types) to find something under these two game menus. So hope that reassures you, there's nothing wrong with your game.

Again the majority of 3rd party developer routes come with generous numbers of Standard Scenarios. The majority of the 'older' routes for the game (and there are many extremely good ones!) do come with plenty of Standard Scenarios, and most have a few Free-Roam scenarios as well. Hence that's why your Drive-Standard and Drive-Freeroam menus are empty i.e. So modern routes (and these will include all the default ones included as the official TS2016 and TS2017 routes) only come with Career Scenarios.

This has been the case for the last couple of years, since a change in policy at the time the game's developer rebranded from RSC to DTG. Modern routes created by DTG sold in the Steam Store generally do not come with any Standard or Free-Roam Scenarios.
