ORTS Rolling Stock wish list

[QUOTE=pwillard;2014700]Isn't that just an NSC Type 5 with a different cover than the standard rounded one?

This is a transverse-mounted-coil car with 10 individual troughs for loading various sizes of steel coils. These cars also can accommodate 84-foot coils on each end, in addition to smaller coils at the same time.

From the MBKX site:
This transverse coil gondola is a specialty coil car featuring 10 individual troughs for loading various sizes of steel coils in the same car. These cars also can accommodate 84-foot coils on each end, in addition to smaller coils at the same time. These cars are equipped with steel covers to protect the coils from weather damage.

Specifications
Length: 58 feet, 9 inches
Gross Rail Load: 286,000 pounds
Load Limit: 220,000 pounds

Aren't Newer NS( don't think The Gray Ones Count, only Re-Painted*) & CSXT Black Ones those too( along with GATX Blue )? CSXT has also sold some in YN-3 to NS, other Class1s, & Shortlines too( but, not same Class/Model ).

Honestly, Grenbriar has docs on it. Should be do-able.

One piece of rollingstock that I would like to see, in a new design, is the type steel coil cars used by MBKX. Seeing quite a few of these over the last year or so, on various outings.

Oh Man, I love that video, and I apologize for taking over the thread with progress shots. I took it as a challenge to make a late 1960s autorack when I saw the image in wish list items.

A 1968 television ad for 1969 Plymouths (and Penn Central, too, I suppose)

I love watching some of the works in progress. One of my favorite routes set in the 70's has an auto plant, and these will be perfect.

The car is coming along nicely Pete. Looking forward to the final products!

I'm not too proud of the vans, actually... I made them while watching the Simpsons. Probably need to try harder. Right now I'm fussing with car length to get the couplers to line up IN ORTS.

A few more tweaks and it might be ready for actual testing.
