I took a look at this template and didn't see any of the rolling stock, that you are having trouble with, in the original templates or template files. I'm not sure what files those are from, but suspect that they have some problems.
Activity Generator will create an activity even if you don't have the stock required installed on your hard drive. It uses the information from the activity template and the corresponding CSV files. If you used Activity Master to change out the cars in the original template, that could have created some issues. One thing you have to be careful of is what stock you choose for replacement. If the template author used 50 foot box cars, and then you replaced them with 60 or 85 foot cars, that would be a problem. Changing the stock, in the activity template, can create issues with the amount of cars that are allowed on a siding if you do not choose cars that are approximately the same type and length.

Valid points, all.
I don't have the rolling stock that this template requires....The list is half a mile long. (It may be freeware - but I've only got a few downloaded stock and I'm already running into issues.)
I'm pretty sure one of my problems is that I loaded all the templates for this route at one time. Maybe I should just load this one.
I don't know how familiar you are with AG/AM but I have one other question that is bugging me.
Once I change/set the car types in the "database"...And, I name 40' Boxcars to say "BX40" and 50' Boxcars to say "BX50"; How can I tell AG to use "BX40" instead of BX? (They are separate in the designation screen.)
Ok, this is getting to be a pain...I tried to download all the required stock....one site requires admin approval...so I must wait.
The reason I ended up trying this is that his "Template" contains about 9 act templates and 9 .csv files.see image
Click to view attachment I was going to attempt to just load one but it is so confusing. He also included(I guess normally), about 150 paths and services. IF I'm only wanting to use one Template...I'm at a complete loss. (Unless I add everything, and then I end up with a butt-load of consist that have no matching stock...and a butt-load of error messages.) I'm I over complicating this?
