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

I don't know an easy way to do this short of manually editing the activity (after generation by AG) using CB?

These are certainly ideas worth considering for inclusion in the program, and Steve and I have discussed these and many others in the past.  Steve is gradually adding more and more nice features to AG.

Two similar issues which we have discussed are (1) having more than one "car type wanted" for a given industry (for example, a lumber yard will commonly receive both box cars and center beams), and (2) industry frequency (which would influence the likelihood of car movement at an individual industry).  Perhaps Steve could add a "car type not wanted" and a "home road / foreign road frequency" to help with your questions.
