Ok, sounds like you are close. After you use the operations panel to "add train" and it asks for a route. Select the route you have created. and then go back to the trains page.  Click on the button "Build". At times there will be an error for a variety of reasons, but there is always a clue as to what to correct.  If the train does not build and says fail (I forget what the actual message is) all you have to do is go over to the right and click on the RESET button.  This will allow you to make all sorts of adjustments and try again. In your route panel you will have had to select the number of cars to set out and pick up.  Of course, if there is nothing in the system already on the spur, you will have only set outs. The first location in your route must be the one that actually contains the location with cars to be drawn from.  You can go back to that same location as the last location on your route, or choose any other.  The location to be the final stop must be one that will accept any cars not set to be delivered to a spur on the route, or will accept the locomotive that is at the head end.  This should be simple for you, as you have no locomotive. Hey, get your computer savvy friend to deal with JMRI instead.  It is rather intuitive once underway. It is simply the case that this program is exactly what you asked for, but it has a learning curve.
