I have been working on the geography of this route for a tleast a year. I recently decided That it was time to run some trains. My objective was not to just run local trains amongst the towns but to also interact with other railroads as well. So I bult an interchange area to exchange consists. That works well. Next was to accept trains from another railroad, return their engine and parse out the inherited cars.
this led to trackmarks. They were placed at drop points and assembly points. Well on the first test of a train arriving with cars and dropping them. then returning home. Trackmarks said where the "yard engine " should retrieve and drop the newly arrived cars. All OK. Next, a local engine picks up the consist to deliver it on the route. At this point when I ran the scenario al the trackmarks on the yard disappeared and the engine just ran several miles to the end of the route with no cars.
Yes, I can reconstruct the trackmarks but time grows short. At 85 it it not "limitless". I was hoping to get in some run-time setting up more foreign railroad connections and run what you might call a "distribution railroad. Memory ssues will begin to challenge the recall f what has to be done and how totally ruining the experience. I do not have the time to interact with the helpdesk. Minutes mean more to me than the mean to them.
I only submit this as a trouble report. If it is the wrong place then it will die here. Thanks for Reading.
