I hope somebody finds my non-development post in this silent sub-forum.
What's up with weight limits?
The lightest track is 62t, but the lightest train I can make in 1920 is 66t (one engine and one coal car). How can one ever use the 62t track?
On the strongest track of 150t, the longest train I can build has 5 coal cars and uses only 2 station platforms, using the lightest (39t) engine. With a stronger, more reasonable engine, the '[Something] Plains/Prarie(?) (78t, 1350kw)', I can only support 3 coal cars under 150t. I tried running the train anyway, but if it's heavier than 150t, it just says 'No route'.
I'm used to building larger stations than just 2 platforms (in standard). What am I doing wrong?
afaik weight limits of ways limit only the maximum weight of a single vehicle in a consist, not the total weight of the convoy. (pls. correct me if this has been changed.)
That makes sense. I should have consciously tested for that. I'm sure that will work when I try tonight. Thanks.
Last I played I was able to run trains at total weight over 1,800 tons, so I can't imagine it would have been changed.
Yeah, I was stupid. The weight limit is per vehicle. Somehow, juggling different convoy setups I tricked myself into thinking I had already eliminated that possibility. It works no problem.
Thanks again for the help.
Glad that it's working for you!
