I have added an import function for freight cars. Install the Beta version and let me know if it is what you are looking for. David

I will have to think about it. I would only consider an import function for freight rolling stock. The program would not test the validity of any of the imported data. If the current location of an imported car is invalid, that car will not be assigned to trains. The user would have to manually change the car's location. Duplicates of existing cars in the database will be ignored. The user would still have to define the locations (Towns and Yards), industries, routes, trains, and shipments. Cabooses...

It sounds simple but it is time consuming to implement. A very limited number of users would use it and those that would, they would only use it the first time they use the program. I have personally entered the data on every piece of rolling stock for my layout (200+) and for the club I belong to (300+). It takes time but it doesn't have to be done all in one sitting. Right now I don't plan to implement this capability. Thank you for your suggestion. David Bond Sent using https://www.zoho.com/mail/...

Jim, Sorry for the delayed response. The error you received indicates that you haven't entered a valid number for the train length leaving your first location. If you are still experiencing this problem. Please send me a screen grab so I can see what you have entered.

1. Kris, The program defines a staging yard as a yard where trains are stored off stage awaiting their return to the layout viewing area (the stage if you like). Trains entering staging exit with the same consist as they entered with. The program does permit the addition and removal of rolling stock on a staged train that has been terminated in staging. Removing all rolling stock from a train in staging does not delete the staged train. The program will see an empty train as still having its locomotive....

Kris, I will look at your data files.

No movements are happening. Neither East to West transfer nor West to East transfer will run: There are no inbound trains in the staging yard. Please select a different train? By definition there always can be a train be made up in a staging yard! That's...

Jim, I just added 50 cars to my data file without an error. How many cars did you try to enter?

Chris, Thank you for contacting me. If you discover a problem as you continue, please let me know. I haven't been checking my mail for the last couple of weeks. I am very limited in my knowledge of Linux or the Windows emulator you mentioned. I will be releasing a new update in the very near future. Just minor changes. If you find any problems in the next few days, please let me know. David Sent using https://www.zoho.com/mail/ ---- On Sat, 25 Dec 2021 21:51:26 -0800 Chris Klomp cklomp@users.sourceforge.net...

I wasn't aware of tablet mode in Windows 10 until I started searching for a solution. If you enter 'Tablet' in your search box, you will find it is also available on the desktop version. I guess it is there in case you have a touch screen. David

I have done some minimal searching online for a solution. I assume this is a problem unique to SwitchWithIt but you might want to check that you aren't in tablet mode. Here is a link that had a possible solution: https://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-10/380147-why-cant-i-resize-screens-since-windows-10-upgrade.html Also, you may want to right-click on the desktop icon for the program and select Properties.

I have no idea why you are unable to resize and why you do not have scroll bars. I am using Embarcadero Delphi 10.2. I am using EasySize add-on to the environment to support page resizings. I personally have the program installed on 2 Windows 7 computers (home and club), a Windows 8 computer (home) and a Windows 10 computer (home). I have had no other reports of being unable to resize or scroll. I have no idea how to fix the problem you are experiencing. If you have a suggestion, I am open to hearing...

Sorry for the slow response. I have looked at the screen captures you sent. There is definitely a problem but I can't find the problem on my end. I just did a clean install on a Windows 10 computer (which appears to be what you are running) and both windows were both resizable and there were no cut-off areas. It has been 5 days since you posted, if the problem is still present let me know. David

Paul, I am uploading the new version right now. After installing the new version, you need to go back to the Trains tab and change the switch options on your trains that begin and/or end in staging. Once you save your updated trains, it should work correctly.

Paul, Thank you for letting me know about these problems. I can only fix problems if people let me know about them. I have found 2 problems which I will fix. The first problem is how you defined your staging trains. You set the switching options for the staging yard to 'No' (Does Not Switch). This prevented the program from loading or unloading cars in the yard. On the Trains tab, select each train that goes to or from staging and make sure the 'Switches' entry for the yard is 'Yes'. It could also...

Paul, I will take a look at what you sent me and get back to you. I have run one of your trains and I do see a problem but I need to understand it fully before I can answer your question. David
