RE: Modifing shapes??
You don't need to import them...e.g. if you have an empty flatcar and want to place (for example) the kuju cow on it...copy the S, SD and ACE files for the cow from the shapes and textures folder in the route, into the flatcar folder.Edit the WAG file of the flatcar with wordpad and add the line : FreightAnim( cow.s 1.5 1.5 )somewhere near the top (usually just after the inertiatensor entry)You will need to adjust both 1.5 values to get the correct height for the car.Copy the WAG file and rename the Wagon entry for different loads.p.s. Not a good idea to post "modify" or "import" shapes on this forum

RE: Modifing shapes??
Does anyone know where I can find a load of filled sacks for flatcar loads? The Uintah hauled sacked gilsonite on flatcars and my route looks empty without them. I think a load of sacks would look a lot better then a load of cows.Haven't thought that much about it until just now finding out how easy it would be to do.Thanks, Bill

Orginally I had contacted Bruce Giroux when he uploaded the Cat Front end Loader and Bulldozer about doing a John Deere farm Tractor for me. The WCFN's largest client is the Waterloo John Deere Trator works... I remember when I was young and able to go with my Grandfater to work, the real WCFN would take 10-15 flatcars a day out of the Assembly plant and spot empties in the load tracks.
thus why I needed that info... they llok good on the ground, but they really need to be up on falts to make the scene..Robert Mapplebeck
