This just can't be right. If my Stone Windmill were in storage, I wouldn't be able to load it with the Facilities Manager (would I?). So maybe - does the train load your facility and also store everything? What if - say with the Stone Windmill one - what if I don't have any wheat in storage? What would my Stone Windmill boxcar do then?

looks like it works just like the semi trucks. over 7 days it fills up with the products in each locomotive. i agree i think the products loading are not needed, i never run out of those already. and if anyone wants to visit my farms they are at http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/pl...0538&farm_ix=0

I must be doing something wrong. The long cars in my store are marked "Locked". I have purchased the freight locomotive and have all the facilities in storage. Can anyone help me?

I had to refresh my farm to make them unlock.

Well something is wrong with my freight train. I got it all hooked up on my Farm #3 ... I hit the "dispatch" and it went translucent ... but when you click on the Locomotive and then click "show train details" - it shows the following now on each one of the Boxcars - "Carrying - 0" "To Load (gives diff number for each boxcar)" "To Go: 140 markets 7 Days" ... I don't understand? Where is the amount each one is carrying? Does this go the opposite that the Semi-Truck does? Just wondering, I'm confused.

So far I've figured that you have to buy the cars on the farms where the facility required is. after purchased you can move it to any farm. I do agree that the products listed are not the ones I run out of either!! I need the metals!!! But does this mean that the products listed are in addition to the products pending in the facility itself???

I just sent the flour, corn flour and coffee car on its way. If I'm right, what I see the advantage of this is I can get the above products without having to plant, harvest and mill wheat, corn or coffee. I also don't have to have the required facilities on a farm, I can keep one in storage and save space. I hope they add sugar to this car, it would be nice to take a few of the sugar factories off my farms and not have to plant sugar cane constantly.

I think I am going to sleep on this one - I cant buy the Long one -door box car because I dont have the stone windmill on my current farm (6 most of the facilities) - no its on Farm 1 - and I cant move it because I have entered the best farm comp - and I cant put the freight train on there for the same reason.
Also I dont want to move it - it looks great on my Kentish Hop Farm! i dont really want to buy another either! Ditto the oil refinery on another farm. Hey maybe you could give us an "inert" stone windmill that isnt a facility???
But I relish the challenge devs - and I am going to enjoy working this out. Can see now why the new Facs are best left for a few days to let us all get used to this and see if there are any probs. Thanks for all your hard work.

Can anyone who has bought the Long 2 Door Freight cars confirm the quantity that they will receive when the train returns.
