i figured out a method. you may want to use. i manually take them to 400 or 500 then when i connect bqack to the train i set to auto but i wil ltry what the guy said below

how would i lower the cables they are flying arund and manually trying to retract them isnt working

good stuff

Still the best auto loading rail car I've used. Oh, and if the trailing electrical cables bug you, just unplug them and plug them back in. Instantly shortens them.

not a car

that is really good idea. No more struggling with loading cargo now

This is a Genius idea

A wonderfully useful cargo car. I noticed two issues:
Minor: The screen on the rear vehicle is vertically mirrored. Left and right are reversed.
Major: The cables do not retract when the cars are docked, causing major lags while driving.

ya its fine for me to little lag cus my laptop is a little lackluster but besides that its fine

@POOPOOKing1 i dont know but it works for me

when i connect to a container i go flying into the sky and everything breaks, anyone know why?

please make more

o nvm i didnt watch the vid

how do you get the loader back on the train i tried with the loco but the thing just would not connected back on how do you do it

im having trouble charging the the bats anybody know what im doing wrong in using H3E Locomotive as recomended

Once you get the hang of it, this is fantastic. I use in career mode its great!!

i can make one if you want

@Mr Leaf its not that hard to edit it to make it one container just remove one containter pick up and with the select tool move the rest and merge it and thats it

btw a single container version of this would be cool

zaboklicki, you need to turn on the container magnets. They can be found on the containers themselves

im under it and it wont attach

Doesnt work well with 4000 ton containers

for some reason after ive put a container in the tank thing when i turn on manual mode and try to wind up the winch, it doesnt wind up

@NesHoch. use the manual override on the winch before you start using it, you might need to start the locomotive and move it slightly for it to work

the electic wich dosent retract and its too long and its visible when you drive over a bridge

im having an issue with the electrical line connecting the trolleys its now too short and wont extend

the cable connected to the cacr stays to long when connected to the main thing

turn off infinite electric (if on)

this was with a train pushing from behind

the brakes are permanantly on for me, any way to turn them off because i cannot find a switch

omg cool

wait how do I use waypoint

The steampunk look of this creation fits perfectly with realistic looking steam trains

Could you add a brighter light on the front of the container handler for nighttime loading?

Did the physics overhaul break it?

awsome! and can be used for boat drop off!

did some more tests, if you camera-swivel around when you are on the road, you see that even though there should be clearance between the treads and the track, stormworks is indeed rendering friction between the treads and the track, otherwise the tracks would just be sitting there as the train moves, so I conclude that is the problem even though the engineering on this one is quite exceptional with the slight exception of the electronics... all stormwork's fault, no apparent solution.

I've optimized the electronics on my copy of this and have added my train control module. I wouldn't say it is hard to pull as a railcar but it is definitely laggy. As this is the only solution I know of for servicing BVG, being able to pull it all the way to the North and back is important.

takes forever to open

i figered it out you take it and aline it to the green arrow
btw this thing is great but i would like you to know these problems (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FIX THEM) 1. it cost alot #2. not enuff stroage #3. its so heavy to pull

same how do you

How to reattach to the car? love this but idk how to reatttach

this is great, but the name says SE2 and the cars say SL-2?

two issues I've noticed:
it's so top heavy that average once a session of re-writing one of them off of their sides. Could weight blocks be added to bottom or something to help with this?
2. they have problems with some of the track 'bumps', getting stuck/turned. I'm wondering if adding more track wheels would help

@vectorprime12 because IRL they have way more efficient ways of loading containers and it is done in hubs with equipment already there such as straddlers that can stack and load them on trains with ease.

Another issue to take a look at with the loader, they are really easy to flip over, if you leave them disconnected from the wagon, save the game and reload it at a later time the game will reset cable length to 4 meters, thus throwing your loader whereever it happens to be.
And very often you will find it upside down, so some sort of recovery system to shift the weight to roll it back would be nice to have.

How did nobody else come up with this irl? Seriously this is a genius creation.

Noticed another problem with your car, there are remains of some sort of composite listener on the rear coupler.
So if you have a locomotive on the back it tends to cause the brakes to stick on to 0.30

Just brilliant.

This will make things easier. It is way harder to have this crane I have.
