I am trying to create a train that starts at a repair yard, moves to a yard to pick up passenger cars, then runs around the layout to each passenger station, returns to yard to drop off passenger cars, then returns to repair yard.
I don't know how to force the train to pick up the passenger cars. Every time I build, the train comes back with 0/7 cars. The build switch list shows picking up the locomotives then runs around to each location and back again, but always with no cars. I'd like to force the train to pick up some cars at the yard every time I make a "build" of this train.
I have checked the route (pick-up = yes at the yard location, moves = 5 for every location in the route).
I have checked the locations and each yard track has been checked off for allowing passenger cars.
My car types are set correctly (ie passenger cars and I have 4 of them in the yard on various yard tracks).
My other three train builds appear to build fine as I look at their switch lists.
Hopeful for ideas on what to check next.
Thanks
