Hi Justin --
I'm assuming we're discussing TOFC?
1.
I think that the Mairas Pass route includes this type of facility. Certainly the payware version does, but I'm not sure about the version of the route that comes in-built.
Alternatively, it's a question of roll-your-own.
There are a couple of LARS/ProtoLARS industry tracks available that will load and unload TOFC. My "LARS IndustRail" is one of them.
It's then a matter of adding all the scenic items. Something like this:
2.
Not sure exactly what you mean by this.
SPORBUST has an articulated TTX TOFC set on his site, like this in the foreground:

Tell us if this helps.

TOFC is what I what I was talking about. (Though I would also like a COFC company to deliver containers to.) I have the orange & blue straddle cranes that are shown in your 3 pictures as well as container straddle cranes 10, 11, & 12 but I can't get any of them to work the way I'm wanting to. I would like to see a trailer go from a flatcar to a holding lot next to the track instead of it just disappearing if possible.
If this is possible my problem is while I know how to give a company that already has the ability to unload a product off cars the ability to unload an additional product off them, I don't know how to give a company that doesn't already have the ability to unload a product off cars the ability to unload something off them.
I didn't see any straddle cranes when I went to sporbust.com, though I did see good engines & cars.

"I would like to see a trailer go from a flatcar to a holding lot next to the track instead of it just disappearing if possible."
I don't think that is possible.

I was thinking maybe you were after the TOFC freight cars. There may be other straddle cranes on the DLS. Try "Vulcan" as the author.
"If this is possible my problem is while I know how to give a company that already has the ability to unload a product off cars the ability to unload an additional product off them, I don't know how to give a company that doesn't already have the ability to unload a product off cars the ability to unload something off them."
Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying here, possibly because here in Adelaide we have just had six consecutive days over 40 degrees C and my brain is a bit addled.

There is an Intermodal load/unload for 2006.
Not sure if it was builtin or I downloaded it from DLS
A Large Forklift loads/unloads the trailers from a park beside the platform. I gave up using 2006 ages ago and really miss this unit as I cant run it in 2004.
Maybe this would help if you could find it

"I would like to see a trailer go from a flatcar to a holding lot next to the track instead of it just disappearing if possible."
What I mean is I would like for the trailer to disappear from the flatcar & then appear in the holding lot like some trainz companies do with other products instead of the trailers just... disappearing & you having... to right click on the track to find out if there are any trailers there when the company still has 100 of them. (If the trailers appeared in the holding lot you wouldn't have to right click on the company to find out if trailers were there because a percentage of them would been showing.)
"If this is possible my problem is while I know how to give a company that already has the ability to unload a product off cars the ability to unload an additional product off them, I don't know how to give a company that doesn't already have the ability to unload a product off cars the ability to unload something off them."
What I was saying here is, I know that when you are in, "Manage Content," & right click on something you can then click on, "Edit," & then, "Edit in Exployer." After you do this if you click on, "config.txt," you can look & see if the word, "queues," is listed, if it is & has something that the crane is capable of moving listed then I know you can add something else to the list & the crane will also move it. But if I click on, "config.txt," & the word, "queues," is not listed (in other words the crane does not already have the ability to move something) then I don't know how to give it that ability.
Mike, I believe you're describing the, "HP Intermodel," which is built in to the game. Thanks for trying to help me though.
