I'm on Silverrun Forest and the log cars are missing from the train, not that I need them.

Update: only the flatbed is present I am concerned that it may not remain.

What platform are you on? If on PC may be a third party mod conflict? If on console may also be a mod conflict

Just tested this with the latest version of FS22 for macOS (1.10.1.1) and there the train has all cars on Siverrun Forrest:

I wouldn't think so as all the train cars where present at the start of the save and progressively disappeared starting with the log bunks.
Now I think it would just take some xml editing to fix the problem.

I would start with checking the log.txt file of the game after attempting to load the savegame. Maybe it shows some errors or warnings that give an indication why the train cars don't appear.

It could also be the there is something broken in your game installation and it might be necessary to reinstall the game to get the missing pieces back.

I'm playing Zielonka and am having the same problem again, While I procrastinate on finding the problem What line of code in the save Can I edit to customize/restore the train?
Also The problem probably occurs on a session that i'm not using the train so the log has bean rewritten by the time I notice.

vehicles.xml.

First, make a copy of this file in case you screw it up. You don’t want to lose all your vehicles.

Then I would start a new save on the same map. Find and copy the train engine and cars from vehicles.xml in the new save. Make sure you get the complete set of lines. Paste them into the vehicles file in your existing save. It doesn’t matter where as long as you’re between the opening and closing tags and not breaking the code of another vehicle. And delete what’s left of the train in your existing file. Again, make sure you get the whole line of code, from “<“ to “/>”. I haven’t tried this exactly, but I’ve done enough similar things to assume it will work.

If something is overwriting it ( which it mostly likely is ) then editing the file is pointless as you would have to continuously do it. Must be mod related

Why would I be editing the log?

Who said anything about editing the log? It was clearly in relation to vehicles.xml

Some mod you have installed is interfering with trains across multiple maps/saves. The easiest way to try see which one is to post your log and let others see if anything stands out.

Sorry I inferred that you where talking about the log as you where talking about a file getting overwritten.

As I've said before the log gets overwritten every session, do by the time I notice the error probably doesn't show up.

I've tried to reset the train but all that did was give me back the woodchip wagon and attach my plough to it, also the loco goes missing.

I think I'm going to ignore the trains because whatever mod is causing the conflict I am using or have used and will use again.
Edit: Yes I believe I had the attachment IDs correct.

I think I'll just truck my finished goods to the sell trigger, as the pallets usually go flying when you have a lot as they sell slower than the train moves.
