Re Rail Portal

[derme]

I'm using the re-rail portal on my layout and using the feature to have "loaded cars return unloaded and empty cars return loaded"

The problem I'm having is the empty cars being returned loaded.
I would like them returned with the same load as they were sent through the portal.

The portal returns them with a random selection of products.

I've tried to edit the config file to have the car only be configured with one product instead of multiple products.

This may be the solution, but obiviously I'm not doing it correctly.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried setting the truchs up to only carry what you want them to

Yes. I used the commondity selection for the car before sending it into the portal. It returns with a completely different commodity.

Sorry. After reading my post I'd like to re-phase the question in the form of an example. I hope this makes more sense.

I send an empty open hopper into the portal. Since this open hopper is configured to carry multiple products, how do I say "Return this open hopper loaded with coal".

Setting the comodity to coal before sending it into the portal has no effect. Setting coal as the first commodity in the config file has no effect. Deleting all commodities except coal in the config file has no effect.

Of course and in all probability I'm not doing this correctly.

Do you do it with the question mark in surveyor

 

[derme]

Yes, I use the question mark to select the commodity.

I could have a string of hoppers loaded with coal ready to bring to the industry at the start of a session. However I'm running an on going campaign and I need some way of having the off line industry send another load of coal later on.

I'm using coal as an example. I would like to have many off line industries delivery loads to the online industries.

Re Rail Portal can play up at times, however I only have cars that use 1 comodity and if its a multi function comodity wagon I delete all the other comodities that I don't want and mostly this works

Thanks for eveyones input. I figured it out. Editing the config file did it. What I forgot to do was committ the edited asset.
