Need Help: passenger cars stop at goods shed

[wb2001]

Town #1: Terminal and Goods shed are set minimum distance. The 1st passenger cars stop and loads. The train does not move. Passenger cars 2-4 then load.Train pulls ahead just a few feet and loads the freight cars one at a time, pulling up for each car.

Town #2: Has "no" terminal, but the passenger cars stop at the goods shed for each passenger car. Pulls up to freight cars, and unloads one at a time correctly.

How do I keep the passenger cars from stopping at the goods shed?

Hi wb2001,

I don't think you can stop them from stopping at the goods shed if they are part of the consist with freight cars. The way Trainz is set up, if you send a consist to an industry and tell it to unload it will stop to unload every vehicle even if there is nothing to unload. So running mixed consists with passengers and freight is not supported.

Cheers,

Interesting you say that Bill69, because I'm sure it worked a few times with me.

But wb2001, what products is set up for/have you got it set up for?

And what version of Trainz?

setup

I have Trainz2006.
The terminal is the old west Central Station. The freight is Goods shed small IND loading 'general goods'. The consist is (4) UP 34' coach and (4) COV AB Van units.

fixed

Red Rattler was correct.
The 2 industries are laid and connected with the shortest possible joining length of track. The first industry (goods shed) is passed by the loco and passenger cars without any interaction. The loco pulls just past the station, and the 4 passenger cars load as a unit. (The last passenger car just clears the goods shed.) The 1st freight car is pulled that short distance, and then all 4 freight cars are pulled individually forward, and loaded individually.

All I had to do was swap the industries and shorten the joining section. I was originally attempting to load passengers, drive past the goods shed with the passenger cars, then load the freight cars.
