Restricting Stock to certain tracks Options

[Frascati]

Hi

Is there a way of restricting stock to appear only on certain tracks. I have some military stock which I wish to appear only on military sidings. By putting this stock on Industry tracks, Ive got it partly doing what I want. But it also appears in the random mix of stock that is used to fill the route.

Secondly is there way to influence the selection of stock. Say have the local operators stock predominate but have foreign stock occasionaly turn up. It seems that at the moment all boxcars (say) are put into a pool and treated equally so that if you had say 5 SP boxcars and 20 foreign, the SP cars would only appear 20% of the time.

Thanks

Norman,

Last night I did some out side the box thinking, if I can force empty and loads to different tracks why not force home road cars to fill tracks. What if I reset some of my car seed car types to NYC. I then changed my seed car type for a yard track to 3 different NYC cars I put 2 of each on the track. These cars were a bx, tofc and RFR car types. I then created 3 new car types in the car type cvs. BNYC (bx) TNYC (tofc) and RNYC (rfr). Edited all the support CSV files to match the new care types. When I ran AG I ended up with a string of mixed NYC cars and 1 ERIE box. The Erie box may be a random joker after the car fill crunched.

Using this method one could set some yard or industry tracks to only fill with home road roling stock to give the sim a family look. All the other tracks will still fill with random rolling stock.

This is only an quick test and will need further testing.
