Description
It's here! The heavyweight set!

This project is over a year old. I started this when I first started out modeling, and it grew, and grew, and grew into a modular [for modders] set that has 6 different heavyweight cars.

A heavyweight passenger car got its name from its weight. These were much heavier than your standard passenger car, these provided a smooth ride for optimal comfort. They even used cement for the floor.

Types included:
  • Baggage
  • Diner
  • Coach
  • Parlor
  • Sleeper
  • Observation Business Class

Some cool things about them:
  • Interiors with details
  • Baggage car has visible load
  • Custom sounds by MrCheesecake
  • Couplers by Model Citizen
  • The Pullman Green color is recolorable to the color of your choice. the lettering will stay the gold color, and the roofs and underside will remain gray.
  • As you'll see in coming skins, these are group listed, however by type of passenger cars, ie: parlor, coach, etc. This mod is very reskin focused, because, there are endless possibilities.
  • Start in 1915
  • Different price and capacity based on seating capacity in prototypes
  • 2k Textures to allow heavy use (eg: buy a metric ♥♥♥♥ ton) without overloading your average GPU
  • Couplers connect with MC's hoses appearing connected

Disclaimer:
These are just a generic pullman set, to be used where ever you choose. It was made with reskinning in mind so many railroads could be represented. It is not based off one specific traincar, as many, many passenger carsdiffered in layout and style. So I grabbed what I saw on the internet and took ideas from that.

Planned Updates
  • Either in this mod or another, a combine, a second coach, RPO, and horse baggage car (80' long baggage car)

Modders:
As with the F7 starter kit, reskins are open to the public.

If you'd like to do a reskin, contact me. The PSD link is available on my American Modding Discord server. If you'd like an invite or don't have a discord but would like to make some, add me as a friend and just comment here saying you added me for the PSD.

Thanks to everyone interested!

Ah, I see. Thank you for such a prompt update!

Yes I realized i deleted the texture files by accident! Woops, uploaded the fix and should be working fine!

This has been one of my favorite mods for quite some time.
Unfortunately, however, I seem to have done something that made them render in textureless. Might be because I spawned ten trains with seventeen heavyweights apiece, but each one of them is solid lavender.

Why does it say my sleeper carries 400?

i mean thats how heavy they were heh. wasn't any other cars that were lighter until about 1935. they had cement floors and usually doubleheaded from my understanding

Any chance you could do some lighter passenger cars for the years 1900-1940?

interesting，i dream that you have updated the heavy RPO

Hi, can it be that these cars don't have any sound? I used them in my game, but whenever a train passes by, there is no sound emmited from the wagons, all I get is the engine sound from the locomotive, but no rolling, rattling, etc. from the wagons.

You know, I think I fixed this but never pushed the update. I'll try to remember to check tonight. I know I added assets...

Hi, just started using these with all the new USA steam locos coming out. The sleepers are aging really quickly, full rust when the train is 94% condition. It happens to the sleepers of all the reskins I've run, but not to any other carriages.
