Some time back, I had a bit of fun using CMTM for a couple of routes in T:ANE. However, I remember that the CMTM scripts were old and outdated then, and I had to do quite a bit of hacking to get them to run (IIRC they would frequently time out or otherwise fail), and had a lot of trouble with broken/incompatible/missing assets - from a quick forum search, it sounds like things are only getting worse with time.
It seems Trainz has default functionality for delivering cars, but it's instant load/unload, and cars can't be left. I've seen mentions of CMTM-ish sounding things like ProtoLARS and JR Multi Industry, where cars can be left for delivery. Are these any good as CMTM successors (assuming they're newer!), and do they fare better with the modern Trainz versions?
If so, are there any particularly good routes to try them on? CMTM offered a couple of routes with it already set up, which would obviously be preferable!
If they aren't anywhere near what I'd like, what would be a good CMTM-like experience - if one exists at all?
