TLR Problem??

I have a test route set up with an empty set of coal hoppers, a JR multi industry set to produce coal, and a power plant set to receive coal. When I run TLR the train moves to the JR, says it is loading but there is no visual indication of it. The hoppers look empty. The train continues
to the power plant and unloads. Again with no visual evidence of same. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
 
Hi,
Can you substitute a “coal mine basic” for the JR multi industry and try again?
I think I attempted a test track like that, but I didn’t see any animations..
The other suggestion is to check the coal product - there’s a possibility the version of product doesn’t show…
 
I will try that. One thing I did try was pre-loading the hoppers and manually delivering them to the power plant. That worked with full visuals.
 
I replaced the Jr track with a coal loader. That worked. Does this mean that the JR will perform that way on all routes. It doesnt appear that it works at all.
 
Did you setup the coal loader correctly in surveyor, @buffedub ?

Usually there is a starting amount to set, and a rate. Rate being how fast the IND produces a product.
 
I finally got it to work. It all has to do with the timing. It takes much longer to load a hopper on the JR track than with the Trainz assets which load instantly. Making it work with TLR may be a problem since the train doesnt stop during the process. Will keep testing.
