V/Line G Class - Goods (8)

The G class consists of around 31 diesel locomotives built for V/Line in the mid-to-late 80s. In the mid-90s the freight division of V/Line was sold off entirely and all the G class locomotives have been repainted in the liveries of private companies. This recreation presents the locomotive in its original V/Line livery.

The locomotive pulls a train of 8 skeletal wagons (based on the VQFX wagon) carrying ISO shipping containers in 40' and 20' varieties, liquid tankers, as well as sheet metal coils. These use the Trailer Variation Loader mod to reflect the cargo of the train. It also auto-reverses the locomotive in the direction of travel.

Hang on, so what's the difference between "goods" and "materials" in this context?
Not a great deal - they both primarily carry ISO containers. Each train has their own mixture of 3 unique trailers - 3 skeletal VQFX wagons for the 'goods', and 3 flatbed VFTX wagons for the 'materials'. All three of the VFTX ones show logs in the log cargo slot, and two of them show metal tubes in the ore cargo slot - whereas the VQFX wagons don't support that kind of cargo and have more containers and sheet metal coils instead. The combinations of containers shown on each vary for each cargo slot. There are 32 unique trailer appearances across these 6 wagons - you will most often see the 6 'generic goods' trailers, but they're in there!
