Another question for the Surveyor veterans....

[Railhead001]

Hello guys,

I am interested in setting a up an industry active intermodal straddle lift container crane. The crane is a static piece but is it possible to use some sort of industry active "track" that would show either a container being loaded or removed from a well car that has that product ?

Thanks,

RH001

Jointed Rail's payware route "American Intermodal" includes an intermodal crane with these features.

I am looking for non payware because I will be releasing this as part of one of my "Modified" layouts.....

I'm afraid I cannot think of any freeware alternative - someone here will know for sure though.

Only way I know that would give that effect is to place a short multi industry track beneath it.
Edit
Container straddle crane by Vulcan will load containers.

Stagecoach,

Would you have the kuid for that crane.........tried looking for it but only came up with non Vulcan versions.....

While that method will load and unload containers, be aware that it will not be animated.

No worries, just want the containers to "appear" and "disappear".

Kuid2:60238:38524:2 It is built in with Tane but I had it back in 2010 version. It has a build of 2.4

If the animation is not essential, you have at least two alternatives:

An interactive track, for example, use "Multiple Industry New". This might help you configure it (full screen / 1080p):

MIN comes built-in. There are several variants on the Download Station -- different lengths, height adjustable, straight and curved.

Or use this new feature in T:ANE:

Then you need to select a suitable crane or other device to go with it.

Edit:

The first video clip was made in TS12. I haven't tried it in T:ANE SP2 but in the first release of T:ANE removing commodities from the configuration of the freight cars when setting up a session would not "stick" in Driver.

That is, it's impossible to stop a freight car loading designated commodities.

Edit #2:

Ignore the above "Edit". I've just replicated the first video in T:ANE SP2. It works in SP2 exactly as it did in TS12.

I just remembered this one too:
