Load vehicles into train from factory

[virgilio.dias]

I've set up my car factory with connections to the trains like you can see below, but the cars are not being moved to the trains.

My idea would be connecting the factory to the vehicles spaces and them to the cargo train station, but after the vehicles are produced they are not moved to the vehicles spaces. What am I doing wrong here?

Works with direct connection factory >cargo station.

I'll try it. Thanks!

Yeah like Jolie mentioned, all you need to do is remove one of the storages and directly connect that connection to the cargo station so then the train can pull driect from the plant, or if you finally overflow into the storage it will also pull from there

that's a bit annoying that it doesn't work with the Space for Vehicles building :(
apparently the trucks can "pull" trhough the storage but not the trains ?

But the old "load and unload" trick with a truck make it work perfectly, phew !

It's down to the "area of effect"; load/unload (trucks/trains/etc) and produce/consume (factories/mines/etc) actions have a range of 1 building from their origin.

A truck parked at Space for Vehicles is considered part of the "Space for Vehicles" building, so the factory (and the train cargo station) is 1 building away. The train parked at the cargo station is considered part of the cargo station...so the "Space for Vehicles" is 1 building away, and the factory is 2 buildings away.

i am not able to put my station close enough to my car factory, so i tried to use a truck to deliver the cars to a road cargo station directly connected to the station, is there a way to make that work? I can get the cars on the truck, but i cant get the cars from the truck to the train

EDIT: Do i need to do something to the open wagon to accept cars?

make the cargo bay directly connect to factory. no factory is able to cope production with when you try to unload with train. no need extra storage area if you do not want to store it for fun or other purposes.
