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,

Thank you for the complement but I'm far from savvy as I have only had MSTS for little over a year. Actualy after I did the test I re-set my template for the exact reason you stated, TOO many cars.

What made me try with the "home road" concept was in answer to Fracati's question on how to force more dedicated military cars into locations.  This is an option but as you stated there is a down side too. We just have to find the correct balance.

 Working on my NYC West Shore Terminal temlpate has made me think and look deep into the workings of MSTS. Doing things like overfilling sidings just to see what the limits of the program are and then correcting for a good balance.

The nice thing about the Jersey City route is to test an area to see if it will work goes very quick due to the high density and everything is with in a few "miles" of each other and you don't have to travel 50 miles in you train from Clovis to find out the siding or a pick up does not work correct.
