Description
ATTENTION: This is not a vehicle! This is a standard prop which can be used as a detail, or an actual train car. More info below!


This mod adds a tanker to your GMOD. The "United Dairies" tanker can be found under the "Addons" tab at the bottom of the spawn an item page(Press Q to open), and Is called "United Dairies". This tanker can fit on any 80 inch in between track( around 95% of all track maps), and goes around curves smoothly. This mod might glitch on junctions, I have only seen this happen once with "Magnums TrakPak", however it works with 99% of all junctions. Like in the video, to use, you place it on the track, where all wheel appear to be on the track. The model is easy to move, and you can easily pull/push it with a thruster(around 400 is good for one tank). If you are using rope for connections, put the rope on the hooks at the ends for best results.


The wheels do not spin, I would like to see if there is a way to make them "psuedo-spin" by animation without physics involved(Physics is inconsistant and laggy in this manner).

I have other track ready models being made. Such as a caboose.


A little info on the model at hand for you trainbuild RPers:

United dairies as well as other companies transporting milk used these tanks to easily haul milk(duh). These tanks were in use until the mid 70's when all were discontinued, many are on display. The tankers used to have 2 axles instead of three, but due to weight distrabution on the older tracks, many derailings would occur, thuse they began using the safer 3 axle version. Most of these tanks are from the 30's to the 50's, many helped in war efforts to bring supplies to troops.

If there are any errors, or suggestions for this mod, comment below and I will reply!

They should be under Games> Garry's Mod in the spawn menu. All the way to the left, and bottom of the sidebar.

where o i find these "props"? theyre not in vehicles or under "addons" under "spawnlists".
PS. do you have a way to make your vehicles as props so they dont interfere with LFS? and ive always looked forward to seeing the A4 Pacific Mallard, or Spencer, on gm_trainconstruct.

It looks like you took this directly from unturned.
Take that any way you want.

Thank you! I am trying to keep the trend with old style GWR era train cars. Bogies werent very widely used. I will go further into the times later. As far as milk tins go, I might release a prop pack here and there. Keep in mind these are props and no animations :)

cant wait to use this, a quick suggestion, maybe a milk wagon with bogies, maybe milk tins to put on your flat car, BTW your addons look awesome, i might friend you and keep updated with your railcar projects
