Mkae sure that the files you use don't overwrite whats already been released! I had my jb hunt's overwritten by the walmart containers you did!

Right lets put this one to bed, despite being 100% sure that nothing vital would be overwritten, i downloaded all 8 packs of 53ft contaners that i have uploaded in the last couple of months, File ID's 89093, 89092, 89003, 88968, 88939, 88911, 89910 & 89148. i then proceeded to unzip them and move the resulting folders into a test folder, that ended up with 5 seperate trainset folders, the only one that had files overwritten was the DTTX_Thrall_3-53_ATW which ended up with 3 Amazon doubles stacks, 3 J B Hunt and 3 Walmart none of the containers got overwritten by any other and neither did the main part of the wagons, as stated in the readme however you did get the choice to leave or overwrite a number of files, these were as stated common wagon files like the couplers trucks brake hoses wheels etc, everything worked as intended and all 9 loads and wagons showed up as intended, so please check your facts before making baseless accusations and read the readme's provided, so you know what will happen during installation, i quote from the readme's i stated "if you have already downloaded and installed the Amazon set i uploaded prior to this be aware that you will be prompted to overwrite some files, allow that to happen as the files in question are just the common files for the well cars and are all unchanged" all three would have stated something similar that one was for the Walmart set. you just wasted an hour of my time that i could have spent writing the readmes and checking the latest pack ready for uploading.

and as a last comment if as is the case with the pack i am about to get ready i change a common file as i have in the new one i give it a unique new name so it does not overwrite the original file in the donor set

I honestly don't even know why I write documentation anymore, to be honest; nobody seems to read it. I find that I restate key points in all caps 3 or 4 times in every readme. Ain't much you can do about it, I suppose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You do it ... from what I've seen ... because you are conscientious, take pride in your work and want to make a contribution to the hobby.

Now as my grandpa used to say...."Watches and Rings above your head....it's getting deep around here" Seriously...don't let the folks who don't take the time to read instructions, but take the time to carp about the results --- get you down.

[CSRX]

Yeah, I've given up on being clear and to the point with my readme files. So many people just simply ignore it all together.

Bernard, these look fantastic! You are definitely pushing me to overhaul what I've done for my own domestic container sets.

[FireEngine]

So sorry for the comment I made! Didn't mean to downgrade your work at all! I'll still will continue to download what you release and will use it!

[burgerbern]

the spine set is in the library, enjoy

Peter (OSSIE) has kindly sent me the pictures he had accumulated for a couple of the cause units and given me permissions to do them now rather than wait for him to get the time to finish them, so i will work those 2 into the next set or couple of sets i do

[Timbit]

Bernard, thanks for the latest spine car set you have done. I appreciate your hard work.
Thanks Tim

MY UPLOAD PROJECT NUMBER 217 STARTS BELOW

This will be a second set of Trinity spine cars either a 5 car or a 3car (have not decided yet) which will have at least 1 Prime.inc reefer & a bright pink cause dry container, if it is a 5 car it will also inc a COFC Logistics container.

As it has been said, the readme is there for good reason. There was a time all websites offering train simulator items required one when you uploaded a file(s). Also said, 9-10 the thing is completely ignored. There is nothing wrong with a good written, detailed readme. Users honest to God DO BENIFET reading it!!!

[burgerbern]

Sides are done for the first unit of project 236, shown below

[Curt C]

Wow - excellent! Thanks again for your hard work.

[burgerbern]

The prime inc reefer is finished could not find any overhead shots for the roof but based on others i found and some details at the top of the sides it is this type of roof and i made some assumptions about details such as keeping the ends of the roof plate similar to the side ones with the curves.

Decided this will be a 3 unit Spine car set, first pic in ORTS to test it out after dumping 2 wells and renaming the remaining one to be the C Car (did that as i did not like the colour of the existing 3 car set and was to lazy to redo it, so used the 5 car set to do it after checking that the A & B cars were the same in both sets and that the E car was the same as the C car in the 3 car set). All that was then needed was to relocate the C letter in the ace file to the E spot to make it show up as a "C" car.

[burgerbern]

just to add also changed the model references on the sides of the spine to the correct designation for these which is RAF 33C, this set will be numbered #355172
