One of your exit transfers (ExitTransfer1) is in a dead spot. If you will drag that transfer point to a new location like in the following screen shot, the model will start using both exit transfer points. I've notified the developers to look into why there is a dead spot, but for now, just move it to a different location.

I also want to point out another problem I saw with your model. In the Creation Trigger of the Source, you have two options. The first option sets the item type and applies a color, the second option redefines the item type. Because the item type gets updated after the color, the item's color will not correlate to the item type.
