MIYABI Route coal source???

Great route!!!

cannot seem to find a source for loading col trains. The poer station will receive coal and the coal facilities mentioned seem to also accept coal, but where do I reload the trains with more coal?

Cheers,

There's not a coal mine. But you're welcome to build one. Otherwise, you can use the "Instantload" command somewhere in the staging areas and "pretend" the trains went to a coal mine.

Sorry if that's not suitable. I guess I should have created a coal mine on the route. I use the "instantload" command almost exclusively, since I mainly use my routes with multiple A.I. trains and command the local shortline.

Good idea

I did not think of the Instant Load command, but I will use that.

I do not know how to insert one myself, but perhaps that can be a learning process for me on a test route.

If you ever do a ver 2, make it a big coal mine/loading area - lol!!!

Thanks for the quick reply.

Cheers,

Instant load is a driver command that can be added in Surveyor, Session. The default load for the vehicles must be coal or it will load something else. This works for portals as well although you can also load each wagon manually. Sometimes you have a configure a wagon to convey a particular commodity or a certain number of items which makes it just as easy to load the wagon yourself. Amendment. When using a portal You only need to set configure and load one vehicle and list the number of vehicles in the consist. Silly me. I must have been thinking of placing vehicles on the track.
