The Update posted also adds two new functions:

1)  Query car:  the car "Query", which is available under Operations/Exceptions, has been added to the main-menu at "Edit/Find", "/Query for cars".

 

2) Adding pickups:   (At the Weekend) on the on-screen train-consist (from "Train-consist Preview" or Switchlist Preview), you can add cars which are pickups to the train.   Often, in prototype rules about maximum train-length, you will see a rule saying that if one more car is available to be taken, that car should be taken (added to the train).

(Previously if you double-clicked on a car, on the on-screen train-consist, that car was deleted from the train. Cars-in-train, pickups, extras.)

You add the car by clicking on the carline (car must be a pickup).  A new window appears with options to: "Delete car", "Add car" or "Cancel".  Click "Add car" to add the pickup to the train.

As things are now: if you double-click on a car which >is in the train< that car is deleted.
