Problems Generating Unit Train Turn, 'Sugarbeet Express' Options

[Frascati]

Hi

I tried to set up an activity for Rich Garbers Ohio route, based about a sugar beet train from Zanesville to Byesville Interchange where it picks up empties and returns to Zanesville.

To do this I designated Track 8 at Zanesville as an industry track supplying loaded sugar beet cars, wanting empties... and interchange track 3 at Byesville as an industry track supplying empties and wanting full cars...

I specified Zanesville Track 6 ( a natural entry into the Zanesville yard ) as an ending location, and specified assemble train. I expected to end the activity on this track when I decoupled engines and caboose...

I generated the following activity... as you see the swap for sugar beet cars worked ( sort of... 4xF7's will take 2 cars there and 2 empties back! ), but most of the activity involves switching random cars in the Zanesville Yard... not appropriate work for these ATSF ladies...

Is there any way I can set this activity up to work the way I'd like?

Thanks for preventing me wasting time uninstalling etc.

OK... I have now updated the turn path (only... it will take a time to do every path) and am getting the Green box with the correct 'same region' selector. Starting from scratch I generated an activity along the lines of the one above, and saved the ags.

The first time I did this I left the 'same region' selector blank, but still got a mixed bag of cars to switch around at Zanesville. Not what I wanted. checking the text of the ags I found crosspollinate was set to true.

Thinking (!?) that the flag may be being set the reverse way, I loaded up the ags and now purposely set the flag to true. Same Results, with switching at Zanesville.

1) ags with same region blank
