Has anyone a screenshot or idea how to start a train moving as soon as the carriage is loaded to full capacity or emptied instead of setting a timer?

Use the mod Smart Trains. It adds a lot of functionality to the trains, such as leaving when cargo is full/empty and integration into the circuit network. Stuff that's not currently available in vanilla, but is planned to be added in future. Imo its pretty much an essential mod for working a lot with trains

Friday Facts #114 - Better train conditions wrote: It is obvious, that we need better tools to control the train behaviour. We decided to solve it by extending waiting conditions of the train. This is the list of the conditions prepared for 0.13:
Time passed - The only available in 0.12

Inventory full

Inventory empty

In-activity - No items were added or removed for specified amount of seconds.

Item count - specific condition can be set, like train contains more than 30 iron plates etc.

Circuit condition - The train stop will be connectable to the circuit network, so the condition can use it.
We also wanted to make it possible to combine these conditions, so it can be something like Wait for 30 seconds or until inventory isn't full..
This is how the window looks now:
