Forest Ind problem

[MAW09]

Hi everyone, I am having a problem with the Forest Industry in Trainz Classics.
On a clean board with only forest and lumber industries setup, the consist refuses to move after loading logs at the forest industry. I installed direct track between the two industries. Nothing else.
I have gone in and changed flatcar details, train type details.
Only use track between two industries. Added a complete circuit loop.
Installed signals. BUT still the train refuses to budge after loading. Manually or AI.
Noticed that the train stops at a particular part of the track each time this happens.
This section of track comes with the forest industry site. It's like the forest can't see the track connecting to the lumber industy.
Yes I have replaced the track about 50 times. Yes the direction is correct.
Any ideas. Mike.

Have you tried connecting normal track to the lumber mill's lumber loading track as well as its log unloading/woodchips loading track? I've noticed a similar effect at a mine where things sometimes don't work properly until all the mine's tracks are connected. Apologies if you've already tried it, or if this isn't the solution.

Forest prob

Amazingly I have been able to get it to work starting all over from scratch.
However, I cannot repeat the success when relocating to another section of the blank canvas.
Thank you John, I did try your suggestion of track types, didn't work.
It looked hopeful when I connected the wood chips track up, BUT then stopped again. If I look carefully I can see compressed track at the loadiing bay of forest. The one success doesn't show this compression at this point.
So I tried different types of track all failed to work, the compression area remained.
Maybe I'll try another blank canvas and start again.
Mike. Still open to suggestions.

Try manually driving the train round the loop, so as to check for any problems such as pieces of track which appear to be connected but in fact aren't.

You can delete just the compressed section of track and replace it without disturbing the rest of the layout. Sorry if that's obvious.

HTH, John

Did I not see somewhere in the past, that if you turn the industry by the smallest amount it will work.

The industry needs to be rotated by only 0.1 degrees. For less than 1 degree increments, press and hold the Ctrl key while rotating the industry.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
By moving the industry by just .1 of a degree rotation, it now works!!!!!!!!!

Now I can keep on tracking.
A very grateful Mike.
