40ft container help!

[Ghost42]

Having beavered away for hours trying to load properly I finally give up.
I have put all available container trucks in a consist, some do not take 40fters, the ones that do load two at a time which means they overlap and hang over the ends.
I have only just started using the industries instead of just running through them, this is another side of Trainz to keep boredom away

You might find the FCA,FFA and FGA container wagons helpful.

It will be trial and error to find which ones are industry enabled though.

Thanks for the pointer Shane, I'll persevere using those, but I suppose two containers badly loaded is better than none.
Nose to the wheel again....

It's OK. I happen to use the ones I mentioned on intermodal runs along my version of the WCML.

Perplexed Rog.

The old original built-in Auran 40 foot containers are significantly over-sized which places content creators between a rock and a hard place when placing attachment points. If they are placed for Auran containers the result is that 'true scale' containers float. If placed for 'scale' containers then Auran containers will overlap. What you need to establish is which cars load Auran containers correctly and which cars load 'scale' containers correctly. Darn few do both...

The other option is to find the 20ft Containers and 40ft Containers on the Download Station (note the s at the end, this distinguishes between these and the default built-in ones)

I am using 'container station 1' which loads Auran's containers.
I will check if the container type can be changed, if not, try another delivery asset.
I have the container(s) already downloaded, must have come with a route.

I know that the MIN will load the 20ft and 40ft Containers (both types), as that is what I use.

Thanks for the help all.
40ft containers, m.i.n. and FGA wagons do the trick nicely, bit of eye-candy around the mins, looks good.

Thought they would do.

FCA, FFA and FGA wagons is what the UK freight operators use to transport containers.

There is another type (the KTA Pocket wagon) but there is an issue with a dependency with these wagons.
