FCIN,
Your post is incredibly helpful. I've been scratching my head trying to get the shipper / consignee thing sorted out. Plus getting cars from A to B. I keep getting the diagnostic error that says cars cannot get from A to B.
The best example I can give you is that I'd like to be able to move cars off of my car float, possibly store some in the yard for a local freight to deliver to a town off layout (staging cassette) plus have some freight in the yard as well as off the float delivered to the local industries in town. Of course, some industries will produce products that can either be shipped back to the car float, or to off layout staging.
By what I've read in your post is that I should set up the car float (West) as one Town, the Layout itself as another Town with its individual industries and then the staging cassette (East) as a third Town. Is that the general idea?
I'd also be interested to know how you set your train schedule. Being a civilian as opposed to a railroader in real life I am confused as to how to tell ship it to use my "train"?
