Load command for loco coming out of a portal?

[pwjohnson]

Does anyone know of a load command that can be used to specify a load on a loco, so that when it emerges from a portal it will be carrying this "load"?

I'm using Paulz Trainz's excellent GWR locos, and these can have any of several possible headcodes. You specify which you want by using the "?" button on the loco pull-out. However, when you save a consist which includes a loco with headcodes, it seems that the headcodes are not saved (perhaps the "load" is part of the session?). So when you specify this consist to be produced by a portal (I'm using Quick Portal Manager v3) it appears but without headcodes.

The only possible command I could find was InstantLoadLocos, but this has no options, so even if it could load something there wouldn't be any way of specifying which headcode was wanted.

Or perhaps there's another way...??

This is a well-known issue involving portals: it happens with other locomotives too.

Basically, Trainz creates a new copy of the train in question.

To set the headcode, you may be able to use Set Reporting Number.

Thanks for the suggestion, Shane. I tried Set Train Reporting Number, but sadly it didn't have any effect. Ah well.
