ok problem i am having with multi industry new when i try to load different products on to wagons if the other wagons can accept the same product this gets loaded on all of them is there a way to separate them. or do i have to use a wagon that cant load that product. ie use a different wagon for each product that cant load one of the other products that the other wagons use. thanks in advance

There is a button in the bottom right hand corner or the driver screen next to the uncouple button that allows you to specify what a wagon will or will not load.

The above idea will only work for that session. If you save and restart your back to square 1.
Re the OP's post seperate wagons for each load is the way unless you can split the consist prior to getting to the MIN.

thanks for that iam slowly getting round to edit session rather than edit route way of doing thinks.

I found 2006 very easy, 2010 still gets me now and again.

have always enjoyed playing trainz but now got the urge to delve deeper to get more out of the experience, hence going into the realms of loading products and unloading especially since iam interested in branch line workings were multi loads are used in the same consist.

If you configure the wagons in Surveyor to carry only a single load then you will need as many wagons in your consist as you have loads to carry.

If you use wagons that carry a mixture of loads and then use the loads button on the driver screen you can change the load that the wagons carry as it travels from one industry to the next. I imagine this might be more prototypical especially on a branch line with one wagon carrying different loads at different times.

It really comes down to how you want your session to run.

If that's the case you might find my illustrated monograph about configuring interactive industries and freight cars of interest. Download with a mouse click here:

Tell me if it helps.

On the Download Station you will also find sessions where the same freight car is used many times for different loads. See for example "HM 1b GondolaShuttle", with a pictorial walk through here:
