RE: changing cars in a consist

Hi bill,If you are using the ae to make the changes, right click the loose consist you want to change and click on properties. You can now substitute the cars you want to change by dragging the car to be removed to the coupler symbol and dragging the car to be used to the place where the car was removed. This will change the cars without changing the car number.There are also programs such as Activity Analysis, etc that can also make the changes for you.Regards,Eric
