LARS\Proto LARS

[rjw1975]

This might be a simple question but what`s the difference between LARS and Proto LARS? Also is there a track section from either of these that will unload and load double stack well cars with the same type of containers that I first put on them? I can`t get it to work like I want using MIN. If I have 48`s on top and 40`s on bottom when it reloads the train it put all 40`s and then switches to 48`s when it runs out of 40`s.

LARS tracks load individual cars while you wait using the Load command. Proto LARS tracks operate prototypically, i.e. you set out a cut of empties (any number) and go do something else. Each car will be loaded as you have programed the track to do. You then return later and pick them up.

It takes a bit of skill in configuring both the LARS/ProtoLARS industry and the container wells. But it can be done, see here:
