All of my coal hoppers have the setting of "utility" as I'm not concerned with the car number, just whether it's loaded or empty. I have my staging tracks for these cars set to only accept coal hoppers and only ship the load of "MPTY". All of the tipples have a schedule to receive the load of "MPTY" and ship the load of "LOAD. When I build the train out of staging I get a build failure and I get two reasons. One is that 3 of the cars don't get the custom load of MPTY created and the load stays at the default setting and the other reason is that it says it can't find a destination for the 3 cars. Each time the build fails it's always the same three cars that don't get the custom load created.
I wasn't sure if I had a routing problem creating the build failure so I did a test. When the next build failed I went to the car file and changed the setting in the car file from the default to the custom load of MPTY for the 3 cars that always caused the failure. When I built the train this time it built with all 12 cars showing the custom load of MPTY and a final destination of one of the tipples.?
?
Out of curiosity I went to the location file for the staging track in question and removed the load restriction of MPTY from the staging track and then built the train again.?
The train built but only 9 had the custom load of MPTY and the other 3, the same 3 that always caused the build failure when the staging track had the custom load restriction on it, had the default load of L.? So, I determined I didn't have a routing issue but I cannot figure out why the same 3 cars won't get a custom load created went the train is built. These 3 cars have the same exact setting as all of the other coal hoppers so I'm at a loss. I'm on version 4.26 of JMRI. It's always met my needs so I haven't updated. Any direction would be much appreciated.?
Thanks.
