Hi. I just joined the group because I am new to JMRI (and model railroading) and have questions about the program.
I have a location with one spur long enough to hold two flatcars. All my trains (so far) stop at this location. I have the move count set to two at this location and pick-up and drop off are enabled. The spur only accepts loaded flatcars. Also, random is set to off. However, the program creates switch lists which only have one move at that location when two are possible.?
The only thing I can think of is it has something to do with the fact that the train length in settings is set to the length of trains I will want to run when the layout is finished and I have all the rolling stock I will need (right now I probably have less than half). Does the program prioritize train length (that is to say try to keep the staging tracks being used full) over car movement?
I would love to hear any ideas any of you have about why this happens. Thanks
Paul
