Howdy.I don't want to be a pain in the behind, but if you do the deathstar version, could you maybe upload both the deathstar as well as the version in the screenshot??I think they look great.I don't mind fictional stuff. I'll pull them with my Illinois Central SD90MAC. Thanks,
Sam

Howdy, One other question/request, can you change the bogies to roller bearing or must they stay arch-bar friction bearing? I asked Svante months ago about this to no avail....just me being picky.

>me being picky. I have made a version with roller bearing trucks, I just haven't released it yet. But I do hope I will be able to do so this summer.....I have made a number of other improvements too.

Well(no pun intended)...They've been up-loaded today,should see them in a couple of days.Just so ya'll know before hand.I adjusted the sd file to fix the bounding box issue(coupler slack)on the 2-48' well car,but wasn't able to adjust the other one,so you'll see a bit of slack in the coupler on the well car with the 53/48' containers.If i figure it out,i'll post a update of the files.Also i have been contemplating making up some re-placement containers files,so ya 'll can mix and match.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-18-02 AT 05:00 PM (EDT)Oops, I missed this thread (I was out of town on Sunday, I guess). They look great! Mostly on the IC I've seen the generic-looking yellow TTX-logo cars, or CN ones. Occasionally one of the flatcars with a whole trailer on it (usually deathstar now, but I've seen one or two pig-logos). Your version looks really good, a nice change of pace from the boring yellow ones!troub
