Using ORTS/MSTS AT Wells Domestic Set

[ronshriner]

After being away from Open Rails for several years, I've discovered that I have forgotten how to add containers to the well cars using the AT Wells Domestic Set. I'm using Conbuilder and all I see when viewing the consist in Open Rails is an empty well car. The S files for containers are in the folder with the well cars. I'm missing a step but can't seem to figure out what to do. Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

have you added the containers through an f/a in the wag file?

I've never used ConBuilder, so I don't know how they show up in that program. Each set of ATWell Domestic and Ocean well cars have loaded and unloaded versions. I only use the TSRE consist editor where it lists both options, and it makes it easier when building consists because I can actually see what car I'm adding.

I honestly don't think I've ever used these well sets in the ConBuilder. I do know both will show up in TSRE however as mentioned.
As examples:
"ATWell53_*LD1_AOK_73303" loaded domestic
"ATWell53_AOK_73303" Empty
"ATWell53_*LD1_DTTX_888439_1A" loaded domestic
"ATWell53_DTTX_88439_1A" empty

Not sure if maybe the * in the name might be triggering an issue in Conbuilder so that the loaded cars don't show properly, but hopefully either that helps, or somewhere here knows a work around for ConBuilder with these cars.

Thanks all for your responses. I will take a look at TSRE, but had some trouble locating the documentation for it.

Just had a look at TSRE. Wow, what a game changer!! Think I found the answer to a whole lot of questions. Thanks for the tip.

TSRE is just a newer consist editor that was programmed to display the freight animation loads too. No other previous generation consist editor did that.

If you stick around long enough next time, this is the process container loading in the future will be designed around. It is in the manual.
