Just as the title says. I just installed the cars, but there aren't any containers in game, even though it says the cars are loaded. What's going on? !*don-know!*

I choose to assume you have checked the box on the right from shift double clicking the train.

Yes. I am using them in quickdrive scenarios, where the containers should already be loaded onto the train.

I've just downloaded this package from the G-Trax website, there are 2 folders inside the zip, one is the Railvehicles for the well cars and the other folder is marked RailNetwork > Interactive which is the containers, there are 8 of them.

I also obtained the other well cars, the Gundersons, and they have a mixture of containers in a folder in that pack as well, so, I don't know if you have to have both packs installed to get everything to play with. !!det!!

Cheerz. Steve.

That's why you haven't got any containers then probably as they aren't in the pack.

Download the maxi stacks and Husky doublestacks from here, everything is included in each package - http://www.gtraxsims.com/

Just checked the G-Trax website. The link to the well cars just takes you to the file library.

I'm fairly certain that you have to place these stacks in a scenario and then double click on them to load them. A lot of rolling stock does not default to 'loaded' in quick drive.

As already posted, I'm presently working on a large package of 20ft and 40ft container skins, including the 20 container combination of the ORIGINAL G-Trax package which will appear on the Gunderson well car. The G-Trax serie is a fine graphic rendition of later date logos; my serie will cover the early period of container use and I'm trying to include other shipping companies. In my package, all containers of the G-Trax serie will be visible from the start as it is linked as a ''child object'' and not as a ''Cargo object'' (which needs a tick mark launch). Thus much more user friendly (as it is rare to have a train consist with solely empty container flats) - furthermore, my restructured gunderson well car will have 1) a single container always visible (child object) and 2) a double container option if the user ticks the ''CARGO'' option - thus a larger permutation of containers.

Unfortunately, my anticipated release will be pushed back as I have an unresolved issue with auto-numbering !*hp*!

The wait is well worth it .
