Weight and density of materials
So you want to create a particular commodity to use with Trainz, and you want to help users of your commodity know just how much of the product can be loaded in the equipment they operate. These tables will help you create loads with the proper sizes to make loading into various types of cars operated by trainzers as convenient as possible. .
How to use this page
If the commodity you wish to model happens to not yet be listed in the table, you may need to use ordinary research methods to find the weight of the commodity, or for commodities in bulk, the density.
The tables below gather into one place several parameters for various commodities. The items in the tables include the following parameters:
- Product name
- Product form:
list the weight of items (where known) or, in the case of bulk commodities, the density.
Agricultural products
