Inspector Dave,? Good to see that you are still around.? It has been a while since we met during an Amtrak station stop in Wisconsin.? I agree with your comments.? He shouldn't need a new location but with Dan's terrific software there are multiple ways to solve almost any problem.? Use what works for you.? The easy way to search for a particular car in the build report on a PC - press and hold the control key then the "F" (for find) key and release.? A window will pop up where you can enter the desired search string - in this case the car number.?

Gary,
I think you may have missed the comment in my previous post to set the train build option to allow local moves.? This does require a custom load or final destination.? Note that you can create a custom "empty" load, just call it "Empty" or "MT" or whatever and designate it as empty.? If you don't want to use custom loads then your solution of using an additional location works too.? I use all custom loads as I think it adds more realism to the operating session.? It makes more sense to me than delivering a bunch of cars full of "L"!? It is fun to watch an operators expression when they discover that they just picked up a load of political promises from the fertilizer company.

Thanks Dave.? I think I did set that option, but without custom loads.? Going forward, I will consider that load option as it sounds cool.? But for now, I just want to get up and running quickly, and I think this solution will work for me.

I agree - great program!? Thank you to all the developers!

Just dive in and create your custom loads. Remember a "load" of "Empty" need to be designated as such. All other loads are just letters and auto to a load by default. Once you unlock the schedule feature of this program it makes your paperwork so much better as the crews are picking up a load of scrap paper and it is being delivered to your papermill. This also gives the CC/WB purists one less reason to complain about your choice of car forwarding as they can see that they are actually hauling commodities instead of E's and L's.
The above is just IMHO

Rodney, I did have "Allow C/I to C/I moves" set, but that didn't have the desired effect.? I think this is for two reasons: 1) the moves are C/I to/from spurs, and 2) I think this only applies to Switcher Service, which is a train restricted to 1 Location, while the Turn has multiple Locations.? But things seem to be working nicely with the split location. :)

Dave, you are a good salesman. ;)? I will give custom loads a try when I get the schemes more developed.

Thanks again.
