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?
