What I would like is a way to assign switchers to local trains, and mainline locos to through trains.? I know this can be done using the 'type', but the issue is a build will fail if there are no more of the 'type' of loco available.
Correct.? No "If-Then-Else" for the type field, sorry.?

One way to fake it is to adjust the loco's move count to bias assignment to a train. You will still need two types of locomotives, switcher and mainline.

You could set all of the mainline type locomotive move counts to say "1000" or larger.? For your local trains, enable both "types" of locos.? For your mainline trains, only enable "mainline type" locos.

Now the program for your locals will first use all of the "switchers", with low move counts, and then assign your main line locos after all switchers are used up.
