Soviet Bitumen Tipper Wagons

The mod was created by the VKMC team. It adds 3 (+2) bitumen tipper wagons to the game, which can be used to transport refined oil or construction materials. The special design allows it to quickly unload the contents and melt the bitumen hardened during transportation on site. The first wagon was made in 1936, in response to the growing needs of the Soviet industry. From that moment to the present day, the production of these wagons has been carried out by Dneprvagonmash (earlier - Dneprodzerzhinsk plant named after Pravda newspaper).

• 3 (+2) neatly recreated tipper wagons with high quality textures
  
• Dynamic aging
  
• Transport refined oil and construction materials
  
• Compared to tankers, they have a significantly higher unloading speed, but less capacity

• 2-axle bitumen wagon, mod. 1936 (1935-1938): with a capacity of 15 tons. It was the first specialized wagon for the transportation of bitumen, which the Soviet industry so needed. Unlike tanks and barrels, it made it possible to completely unload the contents in just half an hour, as well as melt bitumen right in the wagon. It was produced for only 3 years, after which it was replaced due to its low carrying capacity.
  
• 4-axle bitumen wagon mod. 1939 (1939-1977): with a capacity of 40 tons. Was produced in the Dneprodzerjinsk plant, as well as in some factories of the DDR after the war. The wagon was designed to replace the 2-axle predecessor due to its low carrying capacity. Thanks to the transition to a 4-axle platform and the lengthening of the wagon, it was possible to increase the capacity by almost 2.5 times up to 40 tons. The design was later modified three times from 1960 to 1980.
  
• 17-494, 4-axle bitumen wagon (since 1978): with a capacity of 45 tons. It is the main wagon for transportation of bitumen throughout the territory of the former USSR. The last series of wagons was produced around the 2010s for Turkmenistan. It is the fourth modification of a 4-axle wagon of the 1939 model, having the highest carrying capacity in the series.

For our Patreon supporters [www.patreon.com] additional exclusive content available: two experimental wagons.

• 50-ton bitumen wagon (since 1979): developed by the Dneprodzerjinsk plant in the beginning of the 1960s. Judging by the little information that has survived, its design changed until the 1970s. It seems that only a few wagons were produced, which didn't go to further production due to the high risk of overturning the wagon during unloading.
  
• 17-4025, 5-tipper bitumen wagon (since 1989): experimental wagon for oil bitumen with a carrying capacity of 58 tons, was developed by the Dneprodzerjinsk plant in 1989. Despite the structural advantages, it was not launched into the series. Perhaps the problem was the difficulty in unloading 5 buckets compared to 4.
