In Activity Generator, when using the Customize Your Activity screen, look for the check box 'Check here for sequential pcikups/setouts (less randomization)'. If you leave it checked, the pickups and setouts will be sequential, 32277-0, 32277-1 etc. That would be 'Simple Mode'. If you uncheck the box, the pickups and setouts could be any of the cars on the siding. It does make the activitiy much more interesting because you might have to move the whole string to get to the cars in the middle, the very last one or any combination.

Hi Jim.

Thanks for the insight. It's been awhile since I used Activity Generator.
