Prefilling wagons

[simtrain]

I'm using the BR HEA brown coal wagons, and I'm setting up a yard with full coal wagons at a power station, is there an easy way of "filling" the wagons with coal other than opening all the property sheets and manually entering the amount?

I've tried filling a couple of wagons, then making a "consist" and saving it, but when I use it the wagons are still empty.

Suggestions please!!

Thanks

After filling one wagon, before you exit, go to the car symbol right above the load, this only shows up when you have more than one connected together. It says "Copy to other compatible vehicles". Click on that and it will fill them all.

Thank you! I've never noticed that before!

LOL, You have been in this for 2 more years than I have been. I guess the saying that you can always learn something is correct.

... and it will fill them all ...

... all the compatible (read: equal) ... if there is/are wagon(s) from another author for instance or other specs, than you have to fill also the other ones ... in the same manner ...
... i also have noticed that when i save a prefilled consist (in the train-tab (F7) > train-mode), it will not be filled the next time i want to place that consist ... even a filled paypack ... so what i do is saving a prefilled consist as a consist in a session ... or even on a route ... then it will be filled the next time i play the session/route ...
grtz & have fun

So easy when you know how. I didn't. Now I do. If I said "thanks" as many times as I have manually loaded individual cars, this page would be full.

So, thanks, thanks, .............................................................................................................., thanks.

And there's also the "InstantLoad" command...
