Is it possible to make settings for that in the eng/wag file, like when my commuter train is fully loaded or just heading empty for depot?

RE: Weight of passenger cars question
Hi, If I understand your question correctly, there is not away to adjust to weight settings in the wgn. file while an activity is underway. You can how-ever create a second set of files (the s, sd & wgn files, rename them by adding an e or f, empty or full to the original name and alter the appropriate sections to give the passenger cars the required weights and then make up a consist to suit.Regards

RE: Weight of passenger cars question
It is really not worth the effort.
Figure a fully loaded coach has 50 people, and at an average of 200 poounds per person, that is 10,000 pounds.
A coach weight is about 120,000 pounds, without people. So loaded is less than 10% more, and not likely to change any braking load.
Freight cars are an entirely different matter, of course.
