Description
Made by seanorse. NOTE! THIS CREATION IS INCREDIBLY PC INTENSIVE, AND MAKES USE OF BRICKS THAT ARE KNOWN TO DESYNC IN MULTIPLAYER.

These Pullman Heavyweight cars are generic examples of heavyweight passenger cars built from anywhere between 1910 to about the 1930's. Heavyweight cars such as these superseded the relatively archaic wood-steel cars of yesteryear, instead opting for a heavy steel construction. The term "heavyweight" may have been introduced around the time that lightweight cars were introduced, as by that time advances in metallurgy allowed for the lighter construction of steel cars. Pullman itself was predicated mainly on building and running sleeper cars across the United States. Pullman sleeper services operated semi-independently from normal passenger services, with their only commonality being the locomotives that pulled them. Otherwise, sleeper services required the purchasing of two tickets, one for the railroad, and one for the sleeper specifically. In 1947 however, the breakup of the Pullman company left the assets in the hands of numerous railroads, who proceeded to run the cars themselves until they fell out of use due to the greater economy of lightweight cars in use on steamliners and later diesels expresses.

The two cars, "Shaun Rose" and "Boonaroo" are a long haul coach car and a combination coach baggage car respectively. Both the cars have working interior lights, and two bathrooms each. "Boonaroo" also has button operated panel doors in its baggage compartment. The cars were built to be imported into a locomotive's vehicle file. (they were specifically built to be compatible with my NKP 765 locomotive)

This vehicle was built in 1.0 and will not work in the legacy branch.

To your first question, yes I can, but I probably wont for a little while.
To your second question, I chose to use metal wheels because the rubber wheels aren't the correct size, don't look as good, and because of the weight, the tungsten wheels still work fine.

Also, why the steel wheels throughout? Underneath, it's best to have rubber wheels.

Could you make a tail-end observation car?
