I was surprised recently when I was running several tests with trains going into/out of staging.? My routes for this train pair (north/south) show 25 "moves" into north staging, and 25 "moves" out of north staging. On one cycle, JMRI couldn't find a train in staging that fit the criteria.? On closer look, I discovered that J had placed a 26-car train (which included a kernel) into staging.? That didn't fit the 25 "moves" for the train out of staging.? Once I had adjusted the route to allow 26 cars, J took it fine.

In my head ( yeah, I know) I had been equating "moves" with cars, knowing full well that a single move could involve a multi-car kernel.? The question is why didn't J count the movement out of staging the same as when it placed the train into staging?? Is this a bug?? Do I have to adjust my figures for the potential car count vs move count?

Bug. The program only looks at the number of cars departing staging, and not if any are in a kernel.? Sorry about that.

Dan, could you fix it such that the last "moves" in a route is treated as a car count only?? Otherwise I'll never be confident that my trains will fit into my staging tracks if I have multiple kernels of varying sizes.

my trains in and out of staging are strictly by train length and they are always full

You’re right. J uses the track length, not car counts. D’oh!
