6-axle Rail Cargo Platform mk2 (Retired)

The intensive R&D of rail industry in ME allowed to construct a new generation of rolling stock, thus this model will be retired. The typical flatbed use (i.e. vehicle transport) will now be taken over by a new MK3 model: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1691486183.

With new catch blocks (more catch blocks mod by Peaceman) available we were able to update our 6-axle rail cargo platform with simpler design (no intermediary grid). This is a universal platform which can be customized with cargo containers (chests, stockpiles, etc.). The platform is fixed to the central bogie, thus the cargo mass will be included in its weight calculation, preventing the sinking. Its standard width is 9 blocks but with a little effort it can be extended to 11 (like the wide platform with the vehicle on top). It is stabler, than older model and allows to put stockpiles/chests one block lower.

DISCLAIMER: The vehicle on the first platform is a logging tractor prototype based on constructions by Johnbeere and it is not included in the blueprint.
