Question on how to fill cars with coal or any other items

[marionrr1987]

Im new to the game and have the Trainz Ultimate Collection. As I was playing I got into building my own rr in the surveryor mode. While doing this i built a coal building that has chutes on it that would fill rail cars. the problem is when i play through in driver mode I cannot fill up the rail cars. Apparently im doing something wrong, so what do I do to fill the rail cars?

Make sure that both the coal mine and also the coal wagons in the train have the IND green tick.

Connect all the tracks at the coal mine. I'm not certain but I suspect that if you leave any disconnected tracks it might cause problems.

Drive through the coal mine slowly but don't stop. With some industries such as forestries you have to stop, whereas with others such as coal mines you have to keep moving slowly. Alternatively you can set up driver commands to load at the coal mine if you don't wish to drive yourself.

All the above applies to TRS2004 and TRS2006. I think later versions of Trainz are identical or very similar in this respect.

HTH, John

No, UTC does not have load/unload, only TRS4 and up.

You're right and I apologise, unless he's got the Trainz Collection Pack which includes TRS2004 and TRS2006.
