Is It Possible to Add More Loads to "HP Intermodal Hub"

epa

Angry Trainz Nerd
Good evening (or morning or afternoon or whatever). I have cloned the "Trailers HP" product and reskinned the trailers to add more trailers from other companies. The question I am asking is if it's possible to add the cloned version of the trailers to the "HP Intermodal Hub" so they can be loaded to flatcars as well. Is it possible? If so, how?

Thanks,
Matt
 
NOT HOW But expiation of products, industry and rolling stock

Basically products are associated with industries (special track) and wagons or coaches. They are generated or consumed by industries at a given rate that normally can be set in surveyor.

The config.txt file has product queues which control which products (kuids) can be loaded on each wagon or coach. Passengers are just a special case of product by the way.

Wagons and coaches have special points on the mesh that mean something to Trainz, a.bog0 and a.bog1 for example are the bogey attachment points.

If a load attachment point (a.load0 a.load1 etc) is present on the mesh then it can be referenced in the config.txt file by one of the product queues to say that if the product is present then attach this kuid to that attachment point. This gives you a visible load. In general if the attachment point is not present on the mesh then you can't get a visible load. However it is possible to create a second mesh, referenced in the config.txt file, which has the attachment point on so you can get a visible load to appear on a wagon that does not have load attachment points.
 
There is an asset on the DLS that could give you some ideas. Intermodal Modified by mrsci kuid:240543:111. It has been setup to use the standard TOFC trailers.
I have considered trying to adapt it to handle containers, but it is a bit above my ability.
cheers,
Mike
