How to load gondola with wood chips?

[GaryP]

I'm an old Trainzer but new to Trainz 22 and I'm testing my route. I used a Multiple Industry New and got the logs to load and unload, then added another station where the logs become lumber.
All is well until I added wood chips. I have them set up just like the lumber, load into vehicle. The gondolas sit there and nothing is loaded.
Do I need an overhead hopper of some sort? I'd think so but I'm not sure.

Do you need some screen shots maybe?

i would make sure the wood chips on freight car and industry are the same kuid, fot that fact make sure the freight car even has them to be loaded

The wood chips ate built in it seems.

Very weird but then again I have no idea if I set it all up right. But the logs in and lumber out works fine.

Hi GaryP. I think I see the problem... Look at the size of the industries woodchips queue... Now look how big the CN's woodchips car's queue size. The industry can produce 0.27% of the CN cars capacity.

Great catch sw1500! Thank you so much.
I didn't see that. It's my first industry setup. I set the woodchips queue at 100,000 (prob need a few more zeros) and they filled. I knew it was something I was doing wrong.

If I wanted to load them on another track and I uncoupled the cars and left them there, they may not fill, right? I have to drive them in and stop over the track.

When it comes to multi-industry new you have to stop for anything to happen.
