The load needs some tie-down chains, but the model is otherwise up to your usual high quality. Great car! :)

Looks good to me Rick.

It would look right at home on many lines. Especially nice for an online steel mill industry.

Actually, Hack, I run these coil cars on our trains from Joliet...there is no tiedown chains (guess gravity is expected to keep them in place <g>); but there is banding on the coils to keep them from unwrapping. Other than that, it looks good!;-)

Looks good! Any way to smooth the coils?

[controll]

Here is the file that fixes the smoothness and the shadowing on the flat car...it's called 39ftFFix.zip

Kinda makes em look more like paper rolls from the top, but it has to do with using a non-solid color on the cylinder shapes...MSTS doesn't like that and I tried using the crease option and it did nothing for the cylnders...also smoothing didi little to offset the color problem....so we'll have to live with the near paper look.

Well it looks very nice.

Keep up that great work.

Rick –

They are tremendous, and have arrived just at the right time to take steel from the Hosking Iron & Steel Mill in my “DragonRail” route that I uploaded yesterday.

Now, if you could also do some limestone hoppers, both loaded and full, for me … . ?

Phil,

Send me a pic I am always open to new ideas...

Rick,

Thanks for the offer.

I could provide pictures of the Australian National/Great Southern Railway cars used to transport limestone from the Penrice Quarries to the Osborne cement works in Adelaide in my home state, South Australia, but
1. They have already been done (see the file library).
2 They look just a little out of place behind a SF Dash 9 or even 2x RS2 because the US loading gauge is a bit more liberal than ours and the existing cars look too small.

DragonRail is set somewhere in the US, and I was hoping that you guys closer to the action might have access to resources that I do not have?

A freelance representation of the cars would suffice, but it does need to be in two versions, loaded and unloaded.
