Switching lists is exactly what I want, but, does it generate the list randomly? For example, one day might the gravel company get hoppers and the next a tank...
... Hi Mark, Yes you can have this kind of random selection for car types. The gravel company gets the basic "hopper" car. And once in a while it gets a "Tank...
