    Hi guys,

    Not sure if this is possible.....I am creating some QD consist fragments containing container wagons, which, are normally in the 'unloaded' state when placing them in the Scenario Editor normally, with the option of changing them to the 'loaded' state by selecting the fly-out and ticking the option.

    Is there anyway to create a QD fragment containing the same wagons but to have them appear as loaded when they spawn?

    I am creating several 1980's style QD consists for some routes, namely SLANCS and others, and the 1980's style FSA container wagons I am using always appear as unloaded when they spawn.

    Thanks for any guidance offered.

    I don't believe that there is. Your best bet is probably to create loaded clones and then use them instead - hpoefully someone here can advise on that. Some wagons come in loaded and unloaded versions which would make things easier..

    No, unfortunately the QD editor does not provide for loaded/empty freight cars, passenger cars, of locomotives with/without drivers for that matter. Not using the game scripted functions at loading/unloading points.
    Like the poster above said, you'll need to manually clone the *.bin file into *_ld.bin using TS-Tools, change it from empty to loaded in the relevant section, not forgetting to adjust the weight, and use the cloned copy in your player train.

    Same for AI trains.

    Thanks both for your replies, I did suspect it might not be possible.
