NFORenum will, of course, complain that these aren't valid IDs; I'll go construct a TextIDs.dat that informs NFORenum otherwise, and post it in the NFORenum thread.
(Edit: Don't you just love it when copy/paste doesn't do what you thought it did?)

I'm sorry if this has been reported before, but searching just returned this topic and I'm not searching 70+ pages worth of posts.
The problem is that in the scenario MegaRail, some trains never load their cargo. Instead, they just sit in the station while the cargo piles up.
I think the problem lies in the FIFO switch, for one because if I turn that off the problem is gone (...) But also because the first train in the station loads fine, but from then on it doesn't.
What I do not understand is that other stations function just fine. (The attached save game starts at the offending station.)
I'm using alpha 69, but I cannot say wether this problem exists only in alpha 69.
Another thing is that the new default service interval of 16000 isn't working. The game is just using the default, and I can change it too. My trains keep getting lost because they want to get serviced.
I believe this bug was talked about before, but I can't find it on the forum or newsgroup. The city berlin has a negative population. The save + configuration files are atached.
/edit
come to think of it: It is the europe scenario wich uses the standard houses, my game, however uses the town replacement set. I gues this couses this behaviour. I hope it fixes itself.
Similar to the D000/D400 range, DC00+x is used for setting them, and D800+y for reading (but the y numbers don't correspond to the x numbers in any way here). The range is D800..DFFF though, so the wiki entry is correct, if a bit misleading. Unfortunately, the TextIDs page can't be edited at the moment, I think it dies because the variable is too big. But I won't have time to check it out until the weekend, I think.
D000 Miscellaneous GRF texts
This is used for TTDPatch newgrf miscellaneous texts, mostly for callbacks. See action 4 for more details.
The table has up to 1024 entries. To use entry X in an include text (code 81), use ID D400+X.
Does that mean, if I define a generic text string in an action-4 with a text Id of D301, do I have to refer to it as D701 (i.e. as a sub text = 81 01 D7 and not 81 01 D3) ?

Not 'likely' but 'for sure' ... now, the penny has dropped and I have no longer problems with those sub text strings. Many thanks for that clarification.

I don't know why the following were repeats in the list though though?
Maybe patchman could shed some light on it?
Sorry to say I have some strange troubles with a70, and I don't have time to report it properly atm, because I have to go to work.
But Ihavben't changed anything in my settings going from a69 to a70 and still the DBsetXL and George's truck don't load although they are active according to the Grf status window.

I have the same problem with most of the sets in my newgrf.cfg. They are red and can't be enabled, but no error message is displayed.
I've made some more tests. even changing grf ver to 2 from 6 and removing all the test from the grf do not change the situation. The tested grf still do not want to load
I also have severe problems with various graphics sets and alpha 70. Some do not load and are marked red in the status window (Zimmlock's TTRS-Set and Planeset among others), others load but do not work correctly, such as DBSetXL 0.82, which is lacking all freight wagons, but engines and passenger wagons are shown correctly.
