In Surveyor, I can create and name consists, but I don't know how to archive them.
Here's the deal. After reinstalling Trainz and importing an archived route, I hate having to assemble trains over again car by car and engine by engine from scratch again.
One of the main reasons I have to reinstall Trainz periodically is because engines and other pieces of rolling stock sometimes disappear. Only a reinstall can make certain traincars reappear again or at least make them available to be added to the route again.
When a locomotive that auto-vanishes is coupled to a train, often the consist disappears with the engine it's coupled to. I find myself having to build trains from scratch again traincar by traincar after recovery of the program and content.
I thought about making copies of consists but make them uncoupled to engines and cabooses so they remain intact should an engine or caboose vanish. I then only have to reinsert that engine or caboose that skedaddled on its own prior to the game reinstall. I could bury my consist clones underground in the staging area of a layout as a sort of a train repository. In Surveyor, Consist Mode, one can use the Get tool to touch a train and name it for future regeneration. These consists are lost with game reinstallation.
Consists created and saved in Surveyor, however, are not listed in CM under My Content with a KUID attached to them.
