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? Al |

Jim,
Well I deselected the tugs and made a new 'Barge' car type, and gave it a try. The barges appear but I still had an Alco RSD7 floating down the river. Since I'm replacing all the rollingstock with the selected files (i.e. slider to far right), and tugs are not selected, this is causing the problem. If I select the tugs, then tugs can also appear as part of consists on land. You mentioned that on some occasions you select it to replace it with itself and have not had any isssues. How do you select it to replace it with itself? At a loss here... Al |

When doing a replacement, are you letting AM decide what to replace or are you using the 'Specific List' option? I always use the 'Specific List' option when replacing since it allows me to select what I want to replace it with. If you let AM decide, it will change the Tugs out with any locomotive because it always will list the Tug as a DIESEL. I downloaded the AM manual from the Activity Master web page. Take a look at page 5 and review items 10, 11, 14 and 15. They explain the 'Specific List' function if you are not familiar with it. Jim Jim |
