The reason why square wheels occur on freight cars is because the tga. file you are using is being compressed. If you use a paint shop pro program, while in the options folder you can disable this, transparent areas will be transparent, thus eliminating square wheels. also i have made my first freight car and diesel engine for a fictional railroad I made up. Tell me what you all think of them. I may upload them later if people like it. http://www.trainsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3b3ffb9f68fdae68.jpg

i have already made 3 additional road numbers for the engine not including this one
Also recommend that if you don't have paint shop you get it to eliminate compression problems.:-)

I think they are great. Please post.
I don't know where your Texas Western is, but there used to be a Texas Western Narrow Gage out of Houston that ran to Sealy, Tx. When the MKT came along in 1895, it went out of business. The right of way is still visible in many places, especially near San Felipe.
