Early American Freight Car Pack

Early American Freight Car Pack

Pack 1 of Early American Freight Cars!
Here it is, folks! Some missing train cars for the early years (1850-1900) to add to your game! These are based on both real and fictional aspects. Let’s break it down, I’m not going to go into history much at all and perhaps edit this description at a later time.

– Triple axle flat car
– Quad bogie super heavy flat car
– Tiffany Clerestory Reefer (not entirely prototypical)

Pack 1?
Yes! In the future, there will be other early American freight car packs, and or adding to this one. What will occur at a later date when I get custom loads understood, I will add some to the flat cars here! Though this is far off at the moment.

This set of train cars was my introduction to modding. I used Urban Game’s 1850 American Tanker car to create the flat cars. I also used Urban Game’s 1850 American Box car to create the reefer. Simple stuff, but I felt the era really needed the additional cars. The triple axle and the quad bogie cars just came up and randomly chose to do them since they seemed simple enough!

What’s next?
Well, I’m still working on my 4-4-0 Class N/C 14 locomotive pack… That should be really soon. After concluding my backlog I will have a very early passenger coach! Stay tuned!

If any issues, please post in the comments.

Enjoy the train cars!
