This is a basic tutorial on how to get a visible load to show on a wagon.

It is recommended that you make sure you have TRS2004 service pack 4 build 2365 before you start.

The wagons carrying the load have one or more load points defined in the model. In the config.txt file, these point(s) are allocated and aloowed products are defined. For ecample wagonA may only be allowed to carry productB. An example config.txt file may be downloaded here that shows the allowed product(s):

download example config.txt

This tutorial will use a wagon kuid (GWR_Conflat9C) and a product or load kuid (Container_GWR_Ventilated) available here. Also Wagon KUID2:243574:15008:1 and Product KUID2:132574:80004:1 will also work, available from the DLS.

You can use any others but the wagon must be enabled and contain a reference to the product for this to work.
