Cargo Tipper Train Car (stone/coal, 10x43, new system)

Description
Update: Converted to new 'standard' (buffers on the frame height) + new bogies.

Update: Converted to the 4-axle system and strengthened the bucket mount.

Supplemented the car fleet with a tipper car for stome. With three stockpiles in its bucket it is able to transport up to 12.5t of it. The unloading system controlled by controllable drums allows to empty it in seconds. The car is cleared for high speeds. Thanks to its steel frame it is stable and safe to use for speeds of up to 200km/h. For highest speeds it may require some ballast in its four central chests (under the bucket), however for velocities up to 150km/h it does not need any.

Unloading:
1. Take control of two drums located on the bucket ends.
2. Cut the ropes on the bucket corners to the side opposite to where you want your stone. Do not under any circumstances cut the ropes under the center of the bucket.
3. Rotate the bucket.
Sometimes the vanilla lockable catch blocks can jam. Then a little tug with magical rope will be enough to solve the problem.

After unloading rotate the bucket to the travel position (if needed) and reconnect the previously cut ropes.

The bucket is mounted on the lockable drums, so connecting/cutting the safety ropes in principle should not be necessary. However the catch blcoks are bugged now and both lock the same direction. Till this is fixed, ropes are a necessity (further providing greater safety).

Enjoy!!

Again many thanks to the modders community, especially Equinox, Peaceman, Wolfgar7474, C3ntron, Storied, Oobfiche and Xaerthus. Also, many thanks to Xaerthus for testing the car.
