Cannot transport "food" via train, no carriages available; carriages incorrectly labelled #79

I cannot transport food goods via train since there are no carriages available that can hold it. See picture attached for reproduction. I also tried with the normal start date (year 1950) with the same result.

What I also noticed is some carriages have misleading names: e.g. lumber is carried in a livestock car and chemicals in a grain hopper, which doesnt particularly affect the playability though.

My installed mods are, in that order: OpenGFXBigGUI 2.0.0 Improved Town Industries 1.7.8 Improved Town Layouts 1.4.0

Apart from these bugs I really enjoy this mod, thank you very much

So I disabled Improved Town Layouts to see if that'd help but the result is still the same. It looks like I can at least refit trains to transport food if I start from the year 1980, see screenshot below

This is a long-standing bug in OpenTTD where vanilla vehicles can't transport NewGRF cargos. However, it is fixed in the upcoming 1.12 update, which is currently in beta.

You have two options:

  1. Download the 1.12 beta through Steam (if using Steam) or from the OpenTTD website
  2. Use NewGRF vehicle sets which support NewGRF cargos. OpenGFX+ Trains is vanilla trains with such compatibility, or there are a wide range of additional vehicle sets. My favorites are Mop's Generic Road Vehicles (trucks, buses, and trams), Iron Horse 2 (trains), and Unsinkable Sam (ships).
