I downloaded the shortline boxcars slbox, slbox2, and made me a consist with them all and no soon as I release the brakes I switched to a #3 view and hear the train uncouple and cars pile up and a few even fly into the air and come tumbling down. This happens when I have them all in one consist, but if I have other cars mixed in it wont happen, but i cant narrow it down to one boxcar. Whats goin on.

There are two cars that have a problem in the wag file.Wagon ( mp_40ftherbie
comment(Box Car)
Type ( Freight )
WagonShape ( mp_40ftherbie.s )
Size ( 3.1m 4.6m 13.65m)
comment( 28.03t empty, 160.747t full )
Mass ( "28.03t" )
WheelRadius ( 33in/2 )
InertiaTensor ( Box (3.1m 4.6m 13.65m) )The "t" was left off the Mass number causing the car to fly. I had a good laugh trying to figure this one out. If you are talking about the same set as I got both cars are in folder "UPP3" and I think this was one of them. Check all the wag files for the missing "t"

Send me a list and I will fix them. Many of these cars had a weight that was less than empty weight of the car. I was trying to fix them and missed a few t's. It happens.Kevin Arceneaux

Hi KevinI have downloaded but not installed these yet. Just had a look at the wags and there looks to be only one car affected (nokl_box570582).mervyn@madasafish.com
