Help Changing Loose Consists

I need to change some loose consists. I have tried in ConBuilder, but I can't figure out how to remove some cars (so they are not too long). Also, when I exit after changing some, and then reenter, some of the changes are changed back.

This is driving me crazy!

Any help with this is appreciated.

Okay, I got help over on the train-sim forums. The answer was using route riter to get to the loose consists.

Everyone who has MSTS should also get at least 3 other downloads so you can use just about anything out there:

1) Conbuilder - can be found on several sites - real easy to build your own consists and edit others
2) Route Riter - I ended up getting mine from the trainsim UK website, but it is available all over too. Nice tools to edit consists, and a excellent for finding problem consists and activities and fixing them. Has lots of other tools too.
3) The TSun update. This fixes a bug in the unpacker and lets you get to activities which would not unpack correctly.

Any others you want to add?
