Steel Slab Car
A bulkhead flat car with racks for carrying hot steel slabs. Mills dump slag on the deck of the car to protect the car from the heat of the slabs. Includes the steel slab pack (product and a static scenery slab). Cars have ARN and automatically attach FREDs at the end of the train. Be sure to download the FRED.cdp which contains the corona as well.

125 Ton Rotary Dump Coal Gondola
These are modeled off of the 125T gondolas used by Detroit Edison in the 1970's & 1980's. For the most part, these use LilB's enginespec, Cloaked Ghost's coupler bogies, ElDavo's Chameleon script and Justin Cornell's (NorfolkSouthern37) S-2 trucks. ARN equipped models also use ElDavo's NumberIt Scripts. All available on the DLS.

42' Corrugated Gondola
My first piece of rolling stock that I made myself. Based off of the ExxactRail Gunderson 2420 cu. ft. corrugated gondolas. I made an initial release of these, but after I learned more, I went back and tweaked some things I didn't really like, fixed things that didn't line up like they were supposed to, and remapped it to make it more friendly to reskin. Uses coupler bogies by Cloaked Ghost, Chameleon Script by ElDavo, and rides on Jointed Rail's S-2 bogies by Justin Cornell (NorfolkSouthern37), all available on the DLS.
Various versions are available on the download station - search for my rolling stock for the older versions. The "2.0" versions are shown below. |
52' Gondolas
These gondolas are reskins of a mesh by Joe McGuire (SocalWB909), released with permission. Go to Jointed Rail for any missing dependencies- you must be registered there and logged in to see the freeware downloads. Thanks, Joe!
65' Corrugated Gondola
57' Mechanical Reefers
Mechanical reefer reskins on an original model made by McHawkman. With his permission, I added engine sounds (recorded from a Thermo King reefer trailer at my old job), added smoke from the exhaust, and added ElDavo's Chameleon script to these cars so that each car can have multiple random skins.
Zero Mountain Cold Storage (ZMCX)
My first reskin of the reefers. MrSCSI built a great model for a Zero Mountain Cold Storage warehouse. Wayne Cody (2Wayne) made some boxcars to go with it, but I thought that a cold storage facility needed refrigerated cars, not boxcars, so this is the result.

60' Boxcars
Another McHawkman model. What more can be said about a boxcar? I added Chameleon script to these too. Each car has at least 3 skins.
63' "Waffle-side" Boxcar
Reskin of McHawkman's Southern 63' Waffle boxcar. If I recall correctly, there are multiple maps for LOD, so I was not able to use Chamleon on these cars.
45' Bulkhead Flatcar
The P&LE slab job used short slab cars and mill gondolas between the Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel mills in Monessen and Allenport, Pennsylvania . Hot slabs would come over to Allenport on the slab racks, scrap shavings would go back to Monessen in the mill gons to be melted down again for new slabs. This car was a short flatbed with stake sides like the slab cars used, but the prototype cars did not have bulkheads. Reskin of Joe Ramos's (Joram24) NS 45' Bulkhead flat car, modified with extra attachment points and load queue to haul Madeline Usher's (Maddy25) hot metal slabs. Uses 36" ASF trucks, available at RRMods. Thanks for allowing me to release these reskins and host them here, Joe.
