Hi Phil,
I'm just finishing up programming my newly expanded layout and have run into that problem. The cause was the staging track is not freed until the current train is terminated. I had the train return to a ghost track of the same length. For example - staging and staging-1. Hope this helps.

I am transitioning from car card/waybill car forwarding to JMRI generated switchlist. The standard gauge portion of my layout is a switching layout in which trains enter from staging heading to a single destination, drop their cars, pick up cars from either a west bound or east bound departure track, and return to the staging track from which they came. There are four trains currently in staging. The car roster has been built and locations generated and entered on the roster. I have been trying to build the trains in staging with no luck. The build report gives the reason for failure as ¡°Note that the program requires an empty staging track for each train! All staging tracks are occupied, reserved, or cannot service the train.¡± For each staging track I have specified the train designation for that track, car type serviced by the track, and verified that the car roster current locations match with the car type served. Thank you for your assistance.
Phil
