Thank you Phil, but without actually hearing someone talking through each of these great video steps, I'm having a hard time understanding what to do. Has anyone created a written step-by-step tutorial with screen shots?
Thanks, and I am a big fan of your work!

I have never been able to get the Multiple Industry New interactive tracks to operate in either TS2012 or TS2019. I fill out the product menu, I fill out what is inwards and what is outwards products and whatever else needs to be configured in the menu; - I then make sure my goods wagons are set up for the same products, - but when I shunt that train of wagons over the interactive track the DCC control disappears forever and nothing happens. I have made so many attempts at this and heartily fed up I've gone back to using LARS and Proto-LARS tracks because they do what they say on the tin and just work without any fuss.
So what needs to be done to make these tracks work? - a sacrifice to Moloch perhaps? Plainly its an arcane mystery only revealed to a select few and I'm not one of them.
Your description points to one setting that is not properly configured. Go to very basics: Use Auran general goods. Nothing else. Have a flat wagon that accepts this commodity, and you can artificially load and see the boxes loaded on it. Fill the queue of the M.I.N. with this commodity (nothing else). Do this on the upper queue list (1). Now go to Tracks and select this commodity. You should leave it on "Load only", and important, below see queue 1. If it says None, it will do what you describe! Now, in driver, move, with a loco, the flat car over the M.I.N. and stop it. Commodity should load and been seen. If it does not, tell Help Desk. Further, if you have several queues, the upper, the one below (2), (3) and more to the bottom, and in Tracks one of them says None, it will do what you describe, so be careful here. Don't feel outcast, I haven't seen this anywhere (other than here in the forums time ago), and I would say it should mentioned in the operating manual. The peculiarity has been with us for as long as I can remember on the earlier versions of the game.
The other thing with M.I.N. is that if you get the timeout in the tracks section that wont display the commodity. You can disregard it and enter the commodity in the correct section in Product and the track will work normally. This problem has been overcome in SP3 and I presume 2019, as I don't have that. It still happens sometimes with certain commodities though in SP3.
What I like about M.I.N. is that using the 10M track you can load and unload just one wagon at a time.

As it is now I see only one M.I.N. (with red arrows), it is long and it works more or less as intended. But a 10m? The only ones at 10, 20 and longer are the ones with green arrows. On these, I can have 4 commodities max. Pass that and it freezes for good, and you have to re-install. This issue has come up several times in the forums. What is the KUID of the one at 10m? and can you load more than 4 commodities? A second observation is that the one with red arrow can't be height adjusted, but the ones with green can. I overcame this adding a line in the config file, and then it can be adjusted. In fact, this solution is valid for any object that "does not allow height adjustment". Cheers.
