Loading Consist Question

I am using the following rolling stock on my route and have a question on how to choose the product to load. MILW-Flat-50ft-01,<kuid2:82412:300101:1>
MILW-Bulkhead-60ft-L-01,<kuid2:82412:300103:1>
The flat car has load0 thru load3 for different products and the bulkhead has load0 thru load13 for it's procucts to load. On my route I am using the InstantLoad,<kuid2:67585:1017:1> command before leaving the yard. It loads the load0 product. Is there any way I can choose one of the other products to load? I know about the commodity picker, but for some reason some of the products don't show up on the picker, so of no use. Anyway I am using 40 cars in my train and it takes a long time to do it that way. Also I am using "TrainProductInfo,<kuid:478639:1058>" . When I use the Instant Load feature the Product Info shows a couple of different products on the cars, but when you look at the cars they only show the load0 product on the cars. I am using TS2010EE build 44088. I hope you can understand what I am asking. Any help would be appreciated....Thanks.....

As far as I'm aware, Instant Load will always load the first product it encounters in the config.txt file of the freight car.

If you want something different you will need to edit the config.txt file.

One way is to clone the car and change the first item in the clone to what you want it to carry. I often use clones and remove all other products from the config file. Then I rename the clone and put the product in the name.

MILW-Flat-50ft-01 becomes MILW-Flat-Pipe-50ft, where pipe is the product.

Thanks for the input on my problem. I am fairly new at this and have never cloned anything yet. Could you give me instructions on how to do it? Also I was wondering if there is any way to add products to the "Commodity Picker". It seems like some of the commodities in the rolling stock I use just don't show up in the picker. As I am learning, I sure appreciate the help I find here on the forums...
