Multiple Industry New

[madncan52]

I have been setting up a session on the Clinchfield. I have a centerbeam train that picks up wrapped loads at Hardwood, proceeds to St Paul and exits through a portal. It returns empty at Starnes and repeats. I have programmed the MIN track to provide the various loads and all works fine. Problem is the MIN track does not reload its inventory. When the train comes around again there is nothing there to pick up. I haven't used a MIN track this way before so didn't realize that this happend ( or didn't happen). Is that the way MIN is, Once and done, or am I missing an instruction to tell it to keep generating loads? BTW I want to load by AI, so I dont think exchanging a LARS track would work for me.

I haven't used MIN track in a really long time, but you can always switch it out for Protolars industry tracks, which provide much more control over the loading.

With PL you can set:
-Delay till loading starts
-load one car at a time, or entire train
-load rate per minute
-starting amount
-production per minute

That and they are smaller than MIN tracks, but will load all cars that can accept the load that are connected to the car on the track.

Hi jade...didn't mean to ignore your response. Was waiting to see if anyone else had the answer to my original question. I changed out the MIN track for a ProtoLars. I sacrificed the wait period, but sometimes ya just gotta compromise. However if I send the train to the loading track, have a 2 min wait, then proceed....the cars wont load. If I uncouple the loco and move it a few feet away ( or if I leave it attached) the cars load at 1 min. If i uncouplez, drive to trackmark, wait, couple at, etc., the consist acts like it has a wait for command and won't load the cars.aaaarrrggghh! I want this train fully automated and I can't seem to do it

The MIN track is used through out UMR-2013-MUTIPLAYER Session Ver 3.8 and works fine. Remember that production time is in Minutes and not seconds. So setting it for 10 is 10 minutes.

thank you. That might be my problem.
