Missed the update by five weeks, but thanks for a Bettendorfed Gondola!

oh my! what speed and finesse! glad i could help with something.
I must thank you for your indispensable creations for this game, it would not be the same without them!!!!
keep up the good work! I would commission something if i had the money lmao, yet nonetheless im sure i speak for the community; your mods do not go unappreciated!!!!

That was quick :D

Fixed

oof okay let me check. thats pretty critical

hello! Just wanted to make you aware that this mod is causing my game to crash.

it states it as a 'configuration error' and reads the following error:

railVehicle/configs/axles: mesh 'Vehicle/train_40ft_gondola/lod_0_w1.002_lod0.msh' does not exist railVehicle/configs/axles: mesh 'Vehicle/train_40ft_gondola/lod_0_w1.002_lod1.msh' does not exist

let me know if there is anything i can do, and i should, hopefully, get back to you!
im only in 1911 on this save, so you would maybe think i would get this error on the release date, but nonetheless was looking forward to include it into my trains soon enough!

Fixed it guys :D

+1 the VGN trucks are broken

VGN and UP skins have broken bogies/trucks.

Updated, now requires CiscoKidd's Bettendorf trucks. Also added an option in the assets for a randomized skin. And increased the metal-glossiness of the SOU cars.

All I would need really is the uv map but thanks for perms

hey audiofreak, sure! if you're on discord theres an american server and most of the modders hanfg out there, I can give you the PSD there.

can i re skin please?

Thank's

could be replaced with the ones on the boxcar (1945) those would be appropriate

Much needed addition to the game and they look great. Thanks Meatball!

haha im glad you guys like it!

Thank you. Thank you.. Thank you...

@themeatballhero - Since TpF1 I've been telling myself that I would model a 40 or 41 ft gondola like this. Did all the research, but never had the patience to learn 3D modeling. So I am so happy that you created this.

Awesome!!! Thank you! Like you I've been missing these in the game.

@NS_37 probably, they're the vanilla ones xD

finally i have more matching cars for my Virginian electrics

I think these are nice! one complaint - those trucks the cars ride on would likely have been outlawed/banned from interchange service in the 1930s.

thanks! and agreed, it needed to be done. the 3 domers i look forward to as well, we need [not more, just need] mid century tank cars

Also agree with others... have hoping to see 3 dome tank cars.

@themeatballhero - Excellent. I've been wanting something like this for a long time. Thank you!

@themeatballhero Dude that sounds cool as hell, I can't wait! :D

@Connie @KubaKorea yeah the V&T ones are terrible, I agree. Its something I'd be willing to refine, slap some couplers on and reskin. I'll look into that.

@NA4U i am planning on 3 & 6 dome tank cars, as well as the 1950s tank cars that BLI released recently

@Connie, you said it. I was hoping they'd at least remove the V&T text when the second game came out. It's bloody annoying. But I'm glad someone is making more US stock, excellent mod!

now, we need wood-side steel-frame boxcars, because the fucking V&T ones make me pop a blood vessel

are you doing any milk cars or 3 dome tankers?

Thanks! I've got plenty more freight cars coming!

Sweet! I've been looking for more earlier U.S. freight stock for a long time now. Keep up the awesome work!
