Description
ARA 70 Ton Hopper pack by themeatballhero, Featuring ModelCitizen couplers with new textures.

A classic coal hopper!
Here, we have one of the most famous coal cars (and we can thank Tyco and Bachmann for that). These were mainly used to haul coal in the 20s-70s. A plethora of railroads bought them, and with the many reskins planned, you'll be able to match that!

Features & Stats:
  • Shuffled generic skins-4 generic skins that can will be shuffled when bought, much like my random boxcar skins
  • Shuffled PRR skins-all the PRR skins which will be randomly selected.
  • Available in 1926
  • Top Speed = 65mph
  • Weight =58000lbs
  • MC Couplers with retextures by Cisco
  • New bettendorf trucks as requirement from Cisco

I don't know why but everytime I see the name of these I think of Belfast from Azur Lane saying 'Ara.' (Granted she's my favorite maid and these are my favorite modded hoppers so... fitting?)

Not a silly question at all. For reference, this is also how the random numbers mods work as well

Ahhh!, now i can see why they sit there waiting... Thank you for the explanation! :steamthumbsup

Actually seems like a silly question now...

Hm. So the randomized feature is essentially a custom load. It uses a list of separate files and picks them at random.

The actual "car" file is just the trucks and wheels, while the custom loads are actually the car themselves!

Part of being able to do this is setting a load type, which in this case is Iron Ore.

Now that you understand the "why", I'll have to look into that myself.

As a temporary fix, I would remove the load type requirements for these unit trains.

Love these wagons :steamhappy: but.. i have a few issues with these and your randomised box cars...

The "shuffled" skins appear to be able to load an extra item of Iron Ore? 23 capacity rather than 22?, which has caused no end of issues when i added them to my coal/iron route which was set to 50/50 distribution >.>

I was wondering why coal was backing up at the station until i looked properly and saw this was the cause... They would take less Coal than Iron Ore each time, because of the "extra" errant Iron Ore slot.
They do the same when used on a Stone route set specifically to Stone only, and sit there waiting for Iron Ore they'll never get....
The non shuffled versions don't have this issue, so i assume it's a bug?

The randomised box cars in your "Railroad Font's Base Pack", also have an extra Iron Ore spot which suffers the same....

I did add these to an already running save though (which is currently only in the mid 1940's). Any thoughts on what i could do to fix this?

With the newest beta update no idea if it was there before since I just subscribed to it but it has a purple box as icon in the depot when you want to buy it, hope you can fix it.

There are quite a few textures missing for the randomized prr cars.
