Replacing activity rolling stock Options

[pensfan17]

Hello,

I created a Rolling Stock Group and used it to replace an Ohio Rail activity. However, when I did this, it also replaced river barge traffic with an engine and freight cars. Looks very funny. How can I prevent Activity Master from changing river barge traffic? When looking at car types, tug boats are 'diesel' type, and barges are 'u' type. Any ideas?

Jim,

I forgot about creating my own car types. Great idea! I'm alittle lost in follwing your idea about the tug. Should I run Activity Manager once to replace engines & rolling stock, then a 2nd time to only replace the tug with itself? Will have to try this tomorrow.

No, one time should do it. I sometimes leave stock unselected when doing a replacement. Things that I want to keep as is. AM should leave it as it was if nothing is selected. On some occasions I select it to replace it with itself and have not had any issues. Car types can really make a difference with some of the stock. It makes replacement easier for me.
