hi all

I m wandering what techniques yous use to build loading loads , as everytime i try i can get the track to meet or they end up a strange shape instead of an oval, i ve added 2 pics of ridley terminals unloading loop track as a rough idea of what i am trying to build and i have downloaded EMDSD90MAC's modern coal loader/silos how do i get this to load coal trains ???

i 'm still new to the route editor and still learning how to use the tools/assets within it

thanks

Hey there to load the coal into cars you need a "Coal Loader" its going to be in the icon of the signal. There is a name for that signal but I forgot it. Anyway's it will say something like coal Loader. When you find it, choose it and before you place it in the world hold down TAB and move it over to the track and it will click to the track. Once you got it where you want it click again to place it. Hope this helps

Just sit back relax and let the wheels ride the rails.
