Train Store, and a mysterious 'Pendennis Coal' consist

Hello everybody,

I have a mysterious consist problem with Train Store. When loading consists etc, Train Store reaches a consist called 'Pendennis Coal', then does nothing for maybe 30 seconds, before carrying on loading the rest of the stock and consists.

I have searched through my consists folder to try checking the file, or deleting it, but there isn't a consist by that name.

Any ideas folks?

Very Best Wishes,
Bob.

Try creating a consist with this name?
Looks to me like there is a consist missing from one of the routes you 'have in store', and trainstore is complaining that it's missing?

Cheers

Train Store only 'complains' about missing items with Error Messages and Warning Messages (in the Information pane) when you are actually storing/unstoring.

I assume you are referring to the file name appearing in the Status line at the bottom of the Train Store window. It might be a red herring, because it might just be that was the last thing Train Store was checking, before enaging in something lengthy, and the status line was not cleared.

What it is doing for 30 secs is more the problem. Perhaps you have a corrupt Consist or Stock item file. Have you installed something recently?

Another possibility could be corrupted cache files. You can try rebuilding them - Tools/Rebuild Cache Files (from Classic only).

Hi Tony,

I've had this 'problem' for a while, it's strange as there wasn't a consist with that name in my folder. During the 30 second pause, I don't hear any HD activity either.

I'll have a go at rebuilding the cache.

Very Best Wishes,
Bob.
