Car setout Options

[Old Geaser]

Hello,

I love freight train switching. Never in my life ever thought I would be making my own activities. I just have started using Activity Generator and have made about 5 . All 5 have only car pickups, no set outs. I have left the max. cars to set out at 5. Is there something I am missing to get car set outs? Maybe I missed something in the manual. Maybe it is my age. 83 Thanks

OK, looks like everything is working now. I am working on Ohio Rail with upgrade. All towns. The 1st 2 had only pu and the ones I made on other routes had only pu. I made 3 more acts. and all 3 have pu and so. I did everything the same as before. Apparently the software determines whether the cars are so or pu. That is fine with me. This is my type of work orders. A couple I made are 5 printed pages long. Not like the 1/2 hour activities.

I now make prints of the wo when it pops up during the process. It prints great with my printer. Much better print than the other act. printer I was using. Is there a way to bring up the wo to print it, in case I forgot to print during the process? Looks like I have something to keep me busy during the winter months. Thanks

Bert,

Now that is my kind of activity! I am forever puzzled by the large number of activities in the t-s file library where all you do is take a train from point A to point B, and you are done in 30 minutes. Keep at it!!!

Norm,

I really think it is because most people are intimidated by or don't know how to use the Activity Editor. (Thank you Steve for creating Activity Generator!!) I've also run across people who really don't want to switch cars. That I don't understand since switching is where the fun is. One of my best activities ran about 5 hours long and contained time events, dispatcher orders, location events, assemble train events, plenty of traffic, and a few switching puzzles. It actually took me a few weeks of time to get it all to work!
